Edited sentence: And after all these full time benefit coordinators are paid to see the transition goes smoothly.Couple of months after leaving work (2/05) I received a notice from CALPERS that I do not have enough years to be eligible for other benefit (ARSC,about $500/mo) it was due to calculating days worked for pension and for ARSC "air time" CALPERS uses 2 different methods some sick days are counted in toward one and not considered toward other, so had I stayed a couple of weeks more and left in 12/04 instead of 11/04 I would have received the $500/mo.I consider not receiving my ARSC additional $500/mo from CALPERS a perfect white collar crime committed by CALPERS and my employer as I could not do anything about it yet.I had also filed paperwork (2/04) with CALPERS for ARSC "air time" another retirement benefit that is paid to those with prior work experience (employments not covered by CALPERS) upon a one time contribution into CALPERS funds.Retiree view of CALPERS:How CALPERS cheated me on my pension benefits.Simply stated both benefits listed same number of service years needed to be eligible for but when it came to calculating that same number of years CALPERS uses 2 different methods.These fine prints in calculating retirement benefits are not obvious to an employee but I am certain the CALPERS and my employer benefits coordinators who daily deal with such issues were aware of it and I was talking back and forth with both as of 2/2004 trying to find the right day to coordinate leave and having my replacement come in.They misled me to believe I am eligible as of 1st week of 11/04 while that was so for drawing pension only for the other benefit (ARSC) of equal amount I would have been eligible 12/04.When I retired in 11/04 I was in contact with CALPERS  coordinator and my employer benefits coordinators as early as 2/04 trying to determine eligibility date to retire and draw pension eventually I was told as of first week of 11/04 I will be eligible and I left work 3rd week of 11/04 just to be on safe side
