Applying for Retirement

Service retirement is a lifetime benefit. Employees can retire as early as age 50 with five years of CalPERS service credit unless all service was earned on or after January 1, 2013, then employees must be at least age 52 to retire.

Use the Retirement Planning Checklist to help prepare for retirement and find the documents needed to submit a complete application package. 

Once you have made the decision to retire, you must do the following within 90 ‐ 120 days prior to your retirement date:

Submit your CalPERS Service Retirement Application through your MyCalPERS account. The application can be submitted online, or a hard copy application can be mailed or taken into a CalPERS regional office. To apply online, login to your MyCalPERS. Review the following step by step video, Your Online Service Retirement Application to complete the online application through MyCalPERS.

CalPERS will send an acknowledgment letter after your retirement application has been received and will contact you if additional information is needed.

If you have questions regarding your retirement application, call CalPERS at 888-225-7377.

When you have completed your CalPERS application, notify Cal Poly Pomona Benefits Office by using Retirement Notice to Benefits. You will receive a confirmation of your submission via email. This will help us to provide you with a smoother transition into retirement.
