Summary

CalPERS told stakeholders the system's open-enrollment window runs Sept. 14–Oct. 9, urged members to check rates when posted, and reminded them to update power of attorney and beneficiary designations.

CalPERS used a July stakeholder webinar to remind members of the upcoming open-enrollment period and to explain how to get answers to complex questions. CalPERS staff said new rates were approved the previous week and would be posted on the CalPERS website ahead of open enrollment. "We just, approved the new rates this last Wednesday... so it's gonna go up on the website," Walker said.

Simone Parker explained how members can participate in webinars and the raise-hand function for live questions, and Walker urged members to sign stakeholder forms or email details when an issue requires case-by-case follow-up. She also reminded attendees to ensure power-of-attorney and beneficiary forms are current. The board provided a contact address for board services and Walker offered her email (yvonne.walker@calpers.ca.gov) for referrals for strategic-level concerns.
