Save Time and Get Results with myCalSTRS

Want to view information about your account, update your CalSTRS contact information, and ask benefit questions anytime day or night? myCalSTRS, our secure online member Web site, is here for you.

With basic, Level 1 access to myCalSTRS, you can:


  • Send us secure online messages with questions about your account and receive secure online replies
  • View your Form 1099-R documents
  • See your benefit payment stubs and beneficiary information

Already have Level 1 access? Consider moving up to Level 2. With Level 2, a quick click of the mouse allows you to update your personal information, including your phone number, e-mail address and mailing addresses.

Here's how:


  • Make sure we have your current mailing address
  • Go to the CalSTRS Web site, www.CalSTRS.com
  • Log on to myCalSTRS
  • See the Settings menu
  • Click on Level 2 access
  • Follow the simple directions on the page

And you're done.

We'll send a letter to your current address of record within a few weeks containing your Personal Identification Number. Once you have your PIN, you can update your personal information at your convenience. No forms, no stamps, no waiting.

With either level of access, you can also choose to receive this newsletter and other CalSTRS news by e-mail instead of through the U.S. Postal Service. It's a green choice that saves paper — and it reduces CalSTRS postage and printing costs, too.

We'll be adding new features to myCalSTRS in the future. Go to www.CalSTRS.com and register today so you won't miss out!
