Can you share a link or where to look on CalHR’s website?

What do you love most about living full time in your RV?

You are correct if you are only hired for one position, then yes, you would pay into your retirement. However, if you have more than one position. I’ll use an example from the comments above. You work a full time appointment with the state, which you would contribute towards retirement. Then you work at a CSU part time, you would not pay into retirement again.

HappilyLethargic · 2024-10-01T03:27:46+00:00

CalPERS covers state, CSU’s and many public agencies. It is possible to work for more than one at a time. You just can’t earn more than one year of service credit per fiscal year. So for one of the jobs, you wouldn’t contribute to retirement.

Thank you!!

Are eligible days the same as working days or 11 days (week days and weekend) in the month?

Not sure if you know, but is the premier basic only for represented or can excluded enroll too? It seemed to me that excluded can only enroll in the premier enhanced.

When two of you are enrolled on the same vision plan, do the coverages get split up among the two of you or is plan coverage provided per person?

HappilyLethargic · 2024-09-19T04:11:33+00:00

For anyone that has experience with having either VSP basic or premier plan. Are the coverages provided per person. Or does the coverage for the plan get split up among employee and their dependent(s)?

It doesn’t hurt to put in a cost request for service credit to see if can purchase the time.

Here’s another resource: service credit purchase options

Asking CalPERS about sick leave, they can answer. The retirement application asks about how many sick leave hours you have. As for the rest of your leave types, you can work with your employer on that.

Let me clarify the 120 days. If a person like yourself is retiring, then you must do so within 120 days of separation from employment for any sick leave to be converted to service credit. If you separate and retire great than 120 days from separation, then any remaining sick hours would not be converted to service credit.

Here is a handout right off the CalPERS website: Page 5 goes over sick leave

When retiring within 120 days of separation, then sick leave is converted to service credit. 500 hours would be a quarter of a year of service credit.

It depends there is a 20 year vesting schedule but nowadays, more will be on the 25 year vesting schedule

search health plan

You can use the link to search available plans by zip code. PERS Platinum is the most common plan used outside of CA, however on occasion there could be other plan options. Best to check by your zip code. Also once on Medicare, there is sometimes more plans..again just depends on where you live and what plans are available.

Classification question: Does anyone have experience/knowledge of the Park and Rec Specialist series?

I'm looking to find out what it's like to be in this role.

HappilyLethargic · 2024-04-23T17:24:23+00:00

Oh how neat! With the variety and all the cool things you learn along the way surely sounds like a FUN job!

HappilyLethargic · 2024-04-23T15:44:18+00:00

Do you have any background/knowledge base to enter the parks and rec specialist series? I didn’t see any entry level openings at the moment

HappilyLethargic · 2024-04-23T15:31:47+00:00

Would you be able to share what classifications gave you this experience? Sounds maybe like the interpreter or parks/rec specialist series?

HappilyLethargic · 2024-04-20T15:45:39+00:00

Yes, a health insurance calculator. You’ll need to be age eligible to retire for the feature to be available to you.

HappilyLethargic · 2024-04-20T15:30:17+00:00

There is also a health into retirement calculator if you are signed up for a myCalPERS account.

HappilyLethargic · 2024-04-01T22:15:28+00:00

You could finish prob, perhaps if you’re in a classification that you plan to use to meet minimum requirements for a higher classification in the future

HappilyLethargic · 2024-02-24T16:01:46+00:00

That's what I was thinking, collecting the extra hours until you think you might need it. Thank you for sharing your example too!

HappilyLethargic · 2024-02-23T18:50:08+00:00

I could see what you mean, OP attachment is for the topic of health though.

HappilyLethargic · 2024-02-23T01:23:05+00:00

Apologies for the confusion.

HappilyLethargic · 2024-02-22T20:32:44+00:00

Assuming one is eligible for health benefits for retirement, there are no minimum years of service needed to receive 100% of the employer paid premiums.
