403bCompare is a state-sponsored website provided by CalSTRS that gives you an easy and transparent way to compare investment fees, performance and services for the 403(b) plans your district offers.
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.
CalSTRS does not provide health or dental insurance coverage as they are collectively bargained at the local school district level. 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.
CalSTRS has decided to suspend new mortgage originations through its Home Loan Program because current market conditions do not favor more competitive products beyond what is already available to our members on the open market.
