As your retirement plan, CalSTRS is dedicated to securing your financial future and helping you get there. The start of a new year provides an opportunity to check on your retirement planning and set achievable goals for the future.

We believe it is never too late or too early to start planning for retirement. CalSTRS has a variety of online resources to get you started at any stage in your career.

A great place to start is with one of our CalSTRS Member Kits. We offer specialized Member Kits for educators in their early career, midcareer or near retirement. They explain how your CalSTRS benefits are calculated, ways to increase your benefit, and options for supplemental savings.

If you need more detailed information on your benefits, including information about survivor and disability benefits, our Member Handbook is a great resource for both members and beneficiaries.

All of our publications can be found on our website. If you would like a physical copy of a form or publication sent to a mailing address, you can order it online.

From all of us at CalSTRS, we wish you a safe, healthy and prosperous new year.
