As a member of CalPERS you may be eligible for the benefits of reciprocity. Reciprocity is an agreement among public retirement systems to allow members to move from one public employer to another public employer within a specific time limit without losing valuable retirement and related benefit rights.
Detailed information about establishing reciprocity can be found in the CalPERS publication "When You Change Retirement Systems" (PERS-PUB-16) available online at the CalPERS Forms and Publications Center, or in the Human Resources office.
When you leave employment, you may transfer your separation pay to your 401(k), 457 or 403(b) account(s). Transfer up to the contribution limit to each account, minus what you already contributed for the year. Taxes are deferred until you withdraw the money from your account.
If you separate on or after November 1st, you may transfer your separation pay for the current and following tax year, up to the annual limits.
To make the transfer, you will need to submit a written request to Human Resources at least 30 Calendar days before your final day of employment. Human Resources will coordinate your deferral request with Payroll Services. (You must be enrolled in the deferral account(s) at least one pay period before your separation date.)
