CalSTRS has conducted an assessment of AB 340, the California
Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013, and its impact on
CalSTRS members and operations and outlined key changes.
CalSTRS is dedicated to preventing pension spiking.
A toll-free hotline has been established enabling anyone—the public, CalSTRS members, school district and county office of education employees—to report suspicions of pension spiking to CalSTRS.
Calls will be answered by CalSTRS staff Monday through Friday,
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or sent to an optional voicemail box.

Review of Suspected Spiking Cases
A CalSTRS member must always be afforded due process because a
resulting action could have significant implications on their
retirement income for life.
A dedicated team is tasked with identifying and resolving
potential spiking cases, and will conduct a deliberate and
exhaustive review of all suspected cases.
Your retirement benefit is based on a formula (Service Credit x
Age Factor x Final Compensation = Member-Only Benefit). How
confident are you in your understanding of how this formula
determines your Member-Only Benefit amount?
