CalPERS highlights myCalPERS and member education resources
Summary
The presenter walked through online tools and member education resources — including myCalPERS, publications, educational videos and regional office appointments — for members seeking personalized information or classes.
CalPERS emphasized a set of online tools and member-education resources for members who want personalized information about benefits and planning. Presenter Raquel Lozano said the CalPERS website (calpers.ca.gov) is the starting point to access publications, service-credit purchase tools, power-of-attorney forms, and to register for a myCalPERS account.
Why it matters: myCalPERS provides members real-time access to service-credit totals, retirement estimates, health coverage information (if applicable), appointment scheduling and secure messaging to ask CalPERS member-specific questions.
Lozano encouraged members to register for myCalPERS, use the retirement estimate calculator, subscribe to the member-education bulletin, and attend Benefits Education events. She noted that secure messages sent through the myCalPERS messages link permit CalPERS to respond with member-specific information. The presentation and related publications and videos were also available on CalPERS' YouTube channel.
