CalPers Retirement Class Coming to SSU
On Mon., April 26, CalPERS instructors will be on campus to conduct an employer-sponsored class specifically for SSU members. This class will help members plan and prepare for retirement by providing specific details about CSU and CalPERS benefits including the application process.
It takes place from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in Schulz 1121. Seating is limited and pre-registration is required.
After attending the class, employees may also elect to request a one-on-one, 30-minute session in the afternoon with a CalPERS representative, for individual personalized assistance with completing the retirement application. These sessions are available only by appointment. To make an appointment, contact Susan Zito (Payroll and Benefits) at 4-2178 or email susan.zito@sonoma.edu.
(To register, members must have a user ID and password to log in. After logging in, click on "my education” tab, click on “select a class,” then in the “browse by location box” select from the drop-down box “CalPERS Walnut Creek Regional Office.”
Check the “Classes Sponsored by Employers” box (note: if you just want to enroll in a regular class, do not check this box), find your employer’s class, click on class name, then click on “enroll." This will lead to the enrollment screen to enter information for sign up.)
