Check off these easy-to-keep — but effective — CalPERS New Year’s resolutions:
1. Make Sure Your Mailing and Email Addresses Are Current
All CalPERS members can instantly check and update phone numbers and email addresses through myCalPERS — log in and choose Menu, then My Account, then Contact Information.
If you’re an active member, you can check and update your mailing address by contacting your human resources department.
If you’re retired, you can change your address online through myCalPERS, or download, complete, and return our Address Change Authorization (PDF) form.
2. Explore Supplemental Savings Plans
Active members can save more for retirement with supplemental savings programs for state, school, and public agency employees.
3. Name or Update Your Beneficiary
Did you know death benefits are paid according to the valid beneficiary designation we have on file? Ensure your benefits go to right person.
4. Designate a Special Power of Attorney
A CalPERS special power of attorney lets you designate a representative or agent in case you become unable to act on your own behalf.
5. Take Advantage of Health and Wellness Programs
CalPERS’ health plans offer health and wellness programs at either low cost or no cost to help you achieve a balanced and healthy life.
6. Attend an Appointment
Active or retired, you can benefit by scheduling a phone, virtual, or in-person checkup on your CalPERS retirement, health benefits, account services, and much more.
