CalSTRS Provides Disability Benefits

As a member of CalSTRS, you may be entitled to a disability benefit if you meet certain eligibility requirements. There are different types of benefits available, depending on whether you are a participant in the Cash Balance Benefit Program or a Defined Benefit Program member under Coverage A or B.

If you are a DB member, you may qualify for disability if you have a medical condition that will prevent you from working for at least one year and you can show that you meet the other eligibility conditions under the Teachers’ Retirement Law.

We hope you lead a long, healthy working life. But since illness and injury can interrupt your career, CalSTRS provides disability benefits to qualified members.
