Start Saving Now With Pension2

Saving for retirement may seem far from your mind right now, but supplemental savings are essential to ensuring you have enough money to retire comfortably. Due to compound interest, saving earlier in your career is far more valuable than saving later. The CalSTRS Pension2® program works in tandem with your Defined Benefit Program and Defined Benefit Supplement accounts. Join this online workshop to see why saving now with Pension2 is important.

Consolidation of Benefits

If you plan to retire under the Defined Benefit Program, the amount of service credit you have at retirement is important for calculating your CalSTRS retirement benefit. Consolidating your Cash Balance Benefit and your Defined Benefit service credit may help increase the monthly benefit you'll receive when you retire. Find out if consolidating your benefits is right for you, and the process to do so, by attending this webinar.

Cash Balance

The Cash Balance Benefit Program is an alternative CalSTRS retirement plan specifically created for part-time, substitute, adjunct and temporary educators that offers retirement, survivor and disability benefits. To learn more about this risk-free retirement plan, attend this webinar to find out if you’re eligible for the program, how to increase your retirement income, about the importance of supplemental savings and about considerations to keep in mind throughout your career.

Additional Income Sources for Part-time Educators

If you’re a part-time educator and concerned about not having enough retirement savings, consider looking into additional income sources. This online workshop will explore the importance of saving more for retirement with CalSTRS Pension2®, Social Security and other ways to multiply your earnings power, supplement your CalSTRS retirement benefit and create a more secure financial future.

Part-time Educator Working Multiple Assignments

If you’re a part-time educator working for more than one employer or in multiple assignments and pay into the CalSTRS Defined Benefit Program, there are special considerations you should think about as you near retirement. This webinar will take an in-depth look at an example of how both service credit and final compensation are calculated and can affect your retirement formula. You’ll also learn steps you can take that could help you maximize your monthly retirement benefit.
