Retired members living in areas devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita can request to have their monthly benefit checks or direct deposit notifications sent to a different address.

Permanent or Temporary Address Change?

If you think you will need to use another address longer than one month, please make a permanent address change. We are unable to make a temporary address change for more than one month at a time. Therefore, if you will need this new address to receive your check or direct deposit notification past one month, designate this address as "permanent." Then when you return to your home address, make another permanent address change request.

Temporary Address Change

To make a temporary address change, please fax or mail CalSTRS with your name, the last four digits of your Social Security number, your temporary address and your signature. Clearly state this is a temporary address change only for the next month or direct deposit notification.
