Things these days can be up and down, to say the least. But a CalPERS pension is something our members can count on when they retire.

COLA isn’t just an annual bump, it’s built to grow with you.

Over time, compounding increases can help your pension keep pace with rising costs and go further in retirement. See how it all adds up and why it matters.

CalPERS celebrated Public Service Recognition Week

CalPERS celebrated Public Service Recognition Week with a big thanks to the team that allows us to fulfill our mission.

From executives serving treats in the cafeteria to team members reflecting on what service means to them, the day was a reminder that every role contributes to something bigger than all of us.

At CalPERS, we view public service as showing up for the people who count on us — specifically, helping deliver retirement and health benefits to 2.4 million members across California. Behind every interaction, every process, and every decision are dedicated employees committed to making a difference.

Thank you to all public servants whose work strengthens communities every day.
