Eliminate the cost of stamps and envelopes. Stop making trips to the post office or writing checks. Make your CalPERS payments online.

Types of payments include:

  • Retroactive health payments
  • Complementary annuitant premiums
  • Retirement overpayments
  • Service credit purchase
  • Medicare overpayments

Here are the two ways to make CalPERS payments online.

1. On the CalPERS Website

Pay online without logging in. Simply visit pay.calpers.ca.gov, enter your CalPERS identification number (CID), last name, and the amount you want to pay. It’s safe and secure, and ensures your payments are processed quickly.
