Tenure-track faculty are automatically enrolled in the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS).
Lecturers who teach three consecutive semesters with a 0.5 (7.5 weighted teaching units) or greater appointment will be enrolled in the PERS system automatically during the third semester.
The CSU plan with CalPERS is a defined benefit plan that calculates the retirement benefit using age at retirement, years of service credit and salary.
Eligibility for retirement from PERS is five (5) years of service and age 50.
Retirees may be eligible for medical and dental benefits for life for themselves and their spouse.
