  If you are a member, other than a retired member, you may elect to purchase service credit that you would have earned while on an employer-approved family care or medical leave (taken after January 1, 1992).

Requirements

CalSTRS requires documentation from the employer verifying the family care and medical leave. This documentation must include the following information:

  • specify that the leave was for "family care" or "medical leave" purposes
  • the exact beginning and ending dates of the approved family care and medical leave
  • signature of school or district official, submitted on official letterhead

Maximum allowable credit for time spent on family care or medical leave is four months in any 12 month period.

Additional Information

Family care and medical leave service credit can be used towards meeting eligibility requirements for all CalSTRS benefit enhancements.
