Use a retirement planning calculator, download a form, login to your myCalSTRS account, or visit 403bCompare.com or the 403(b) + 457(b) Information Portal.
403bCompare.com was created to help employees of California’s
school districts, community college districts and county offices
of education make better-informed investment decisions by
offering information about:
403(b) plans, available investment options, fees involved and
product performance information.
Registered 403(b) vendors’ experience and services for the
products supplied.
General retirement planning information and educational
materials.
CalSTRS partnered with bWiseGuys, LLC to create the 403(b) +
457(b) Information Portal website. This self-navigation site is
designed to help school employees find information about the
supplemental retirement savings plans available through their
employers.
CalSTRS does not provide health or dental insurance coverage.
Under California Education Code sections 7000-7008, school
districts, community colleges and county offices of education
must offer retiring CalSTRS members and their spouses or
registered domestic partners the opportunity to continue their
medical and dental insurance at their own cost.
CalSTRS primary focus is the pensions of California educators,
but the availability of affordable health care can have a
tremendous impact on the ability of members to maintain their
standard of living in retirement.
As a CalSTRS member, you and certain family members may be eligible for the CalPERS Long-Term Care Program. Currently, however, the program is not accepting new applications. Visit CalPERS for updates about this program.
