Out-of-State Service Credit Expanded
Active members who have performed CalSTRS service outside the United States may now be able to purchase that time as permissive service credit.
Recent legislation that became effective January 1, 2008, enhanced the types of out-of-state service credit available for purchase, including foreign school service.
You may be eligible to purchase foreign school service credit if you
- Currently are an active member,
- Performed service comparable to K-12 grade education and
- Worked outside of the United States in a public educational institution or at a school supported by the Office of Overseas Schools under the U. S. Department of State.
Additional information and request forms for purchasing out of state or foreign school service credit is available by calling 800-228-5453 or at www.CalSTRS.com. Look under FAQs, and then Purchase of Foreign School Service Credit.
