CalPERS retirement benefits are paid at the end of the month.
The chart below shows you the pay days for 2013. Since checks are issued by the State Controller's Office, they determine the mailing dates. If you have direct deposit, your financial institution has until the close of the direct deposit date to place the funds in your account. Please contact your financial institution to find out what time it places your funds in your account.
If your retirement check is mailed to you and you have not received it by the sixth of each month, or if you believe your check has been lost or stolen, you should contact CalPERS at (888) 225-7377.
