Dear California State Retirees,
We are writing to remind you that, as of today, there are 1,274 retirees who have not yet
submitted their CalPERS Benefit Verification forms. This form is crucial to ensuring the
accuracy of your retirement benefits and maintaining eligibility.
CalPERS conducts periodic reviews of its payees to verify eligibility for continuing
benefit payments. They are currently conducting a review of payees receiving monthly
allowance payments. A monthly allowance is payable to a person retired from
CalPERS for their lifetime or to the lawful beneficiary of a deceased member. These
notices were mailed to members because they are receiving a monthly allowance
payment from CalPERS as either a retiree or beneficiary.
If you have been selected to submit the Benefit Verification Form, you should have
received your first mailing on or about March 23, 2026. A Reminder Notice was mailed
on April 28, 2026, and a Final Hold Notice letter was mailed on May 28, 2026. To
prevent disruption of benefits, the required documentation must be received at
CalPERS by July 15, 2026.
You can submit required documentation through the CalPERS member self-service
portal at my.calpers.ca.gov or mail the documentation to: Benefit Integrity Unit, PO Box
942716, Sacramento, CA 94229-2716.
Please check your mail or log in to your myCalPERS account and complete the
verification form at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions, please visit
the CalPERS website at https://www.calpers.ca.gov or you may contact them directly at
888-225-7377. You may also send them a secure message through your myCalPERS
account.
Sincerely,
Joe Reynoso
President
California State Retirees
