Retirement Benefits
How Will You Stack Up Against Other CalPERS Retirees?
3 months ago

We’ve got the skinny on CalPERS retirees, including average monthly pension payments, years worked, the average retirement age, and the top five states members reside once they’re living the retired life. 

Think you know the answers? If you follow our annual Facts at a Glance reports, you may know more than the average CalPERS member. If not, we’re here to shed light on some of the more interesting facets of retirement life as a CalPERS member.
What’s the Average Pension Payment?
One of the most fundamental components of retirement is how much your pension will be. Did you know:

The average annual CalPERS pension for all retirees who retired with a service retirement is $42,516, which breaks down to more than $3,500 per month.
Overall, 61.6% of all CalPERS service retirees receive $3,500 a month or less, while only 6.4% receive more than $9,000 per month.
If you’re a state retiree, the average monthly pension was $4,133 per month, school retirees received $2,038 per month, and public agency retirees averaged $4,492 per month.

How Many Years Do Members Work on Average at Retirement?
The longer you work, the higher your pension benefit will be generally speaking. Let’s look at some numbers:

The number of years that all retirees worked was 20.2 years. Overall, 50% of all retirees worked 20 or more years before they retired.
Specifically, miscellaneous retirees (those not involved with law enforcement, fire suppression, or the protection of public safety) averaged 20.1 years, while safety retirees worked 23.4 years before they retired.

Support Future You by Saving Now - CalPERS PERSpective
Though the average retiree age for CalPERS members is 59, men may live another 21 years and women could live 24 years longer, on average, past age 60, according to the Social Security Administration’s calculations. “Your income will need to increase over time to stay even with the rising cost of goods and services, as well as living longer,” Baur said. “That’s where additional revenue streams come into play.”
But longevity literacy, like financial literacy, tends to be low among U.S. adults, according to a 2023 report from the TIAA Institute and George Washington University.
“Most lack a basic understanding of how long people tend to live in retirement,” the report summary states. “Retirees with strong longevity literacy more typically planned and saved for retirement while still working, and now tend to experience better financial outcomes in retirement.”
What’s the Bottom Line?
Most CalPERS service retirees (60%) receive less than a $3,000 monthly pension. The average monthly Social Security check is $1,514. And that’s gross pay — before tax deductions. In addition, one-third of CalPERS retirees do not receive Social Security, thus reducing their retirement income streams.
Also, many CalPERS members will be impacted by the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), which changed the way that CalPERS retirement and health benefits are applied to new members hired on or after January 1, 2013. PEPRA increased the age you can retire, reduced the benefit factor formulas, and includes a compensation limit.
In essence, PEPRA members need to work longer and save more. But with thoughtful planning, PEPRA members can create a comfortable financial future now.

Take Action Toward Better Heart Health:

Eat a Heart-Healthy Diet 
 

A healthy diet that is low in sodium and saturated fat is key to heart disease prevention. Try the highly rated Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan.
It recommends:
Eating vegetables, fruits, and whole grains
Eating fish, poultry, beans, nuts, vegetable oils, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products
Limiting foods that are high in saturated fat and sodium
Limiting sugar and other sweeteners.
Learn more about the DASH eating plan.
Sticking to your healthy eating goals is easier when you enlist the help of a friend or family member to keep you motivated.
Going out to eat or ordering takeout? Here’s some tips:
Nix the all-you-can-eat meals, where people tend to overeat.
Split a meal with a friend or family member.
If you get fast food, ask for a salad instead of fries, and don’t get the “deluxe” sandwich.
Bring a salad or veggie side dish to your next potluck, so you’ll have something healthy to fill up on.
Studies suggest that we tend to eat like our friends and family. Your healthy choices may inspire those around you.

Is Time Travel Possible? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
GPS satellites orbit around Earth very quickly at about 8,700 miles (14,000 kilometers) per hour. This slows down GPS satellite clocks by a small fraction of a second (similar to the airplane example above).

GPS satellites orbit around Earth at about 8,700 miles (14,000 kilometers) per hour. Credit: GPS.gov

However, the satellites are also orbiting Earth about 12,550 miles (20,200 km) above the surface. This actually speeds up GPS satellite clocks by a slighter larger fraction of a second.
Here's how: Einstein's theory also says that gravity curves space and time, causing the passage of time to slow down. High up where the satellites orbit, Earth's gravity is much weaker. This causes the clocks on GPS satellites to run faster than clocks on the ground.
The combined result is that the clocks on GPS satellites experience time at a rate slightly faster than 1 second per second. Luckily, scientists can use math to correct these differences in time.

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

If scientists didn't correct the GPS clocks, there would be big problems. GPS satellites wouldn't be able to correctly calculate their position or yours. The errors would add up to a few miles each day, which is a big deal. GPS maps might think your home is nowhere near where it actually is!

In Summary:
Yes, time travel is indeed a real thing. But it's not quite what you've probably seen in the movies. Under certain conditions, it is possible to experience time passing at a different rate than 1 second per second. And there are important reasons why we need to understand this real-world form of time travel.

How Long Is One Day on Other Planets? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
And write what information the graph will have at the top.
Along the bottom, write the names of the planets.

Make a dot above the name of the planet next to the number of hours its day takes.
Our graph is coming together!
What do we do now? Color in the area below the dot to make a bar graph.

Now we can easily see which planet has the longest day, the shortest day, and everything in between. This is much easier than reading a list of numbers, don’t you think?

< PREVIOUSNEXT >

But what do we do about Mercury and Venus? Their days are thousands of hours long. How do we make a graph for those?

We make a number line, but instead of numbers 1, 2, 3… we will use 1,000, 2,000, 3,000…

Make a number line that goes all the way up to 6,000. Along the bottom, write Mercury and Venus. Above Mercury, mark a dot a little less than halfway between 1,000 and 2,000. It’s not going to be perfect, but that’s okay. Now make a dot a little under 6,000 for Venus. 

Do you think we can include Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune on here? Their dots would be so close to 0 it would be hard to tell the difference between them. Graphs work best when the numbers are similar in size, usually with the same number of digits. 

< PREVIOUSNEXT >

Now that you know how to make a graph, you can show all kinds of information this way. You can graph the time it takes to get to school each day, the number of pieces of pizza your friends can eat, and how many people like the color blue or green. Go on and get graphing!

California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
Number of Youth in Foster Care Has Decreased Over Time… Figure 5 illustrates how the rate of children in foster care (compared to total children in California) has changed over the past couple of decades and compares these rates for different racial/ethnic groups. As shown, the overall rate of children in foster care has decreased by more than half. This is primarily driven by steep declines for Black children (63 percent decrease), while changes for other racial/ethnic groups have been smaller. (In particular, the rate of Native American children in foster care decreased the least of all racial/ethnic groups [28 percent].)

…Driven By Various Policy and Practice Changes. Various factors have contributed to these decreases across groups, such as federal policy changes limiting the amount of time children can remain in foster care. Notably, the policy and practice changes that have resulted collectively in the decreases shown in Figure 5 have done so by increasing exits from care more so than by reducing entries. Overall, these trends demonstrate that policy choices over time have had an impact on disproportionalities and disparities in California’s foster care system, and illustrate that further reducing entries into care—that is, focusing on the front‑end of the system—may be an important area for additional reform. 
Child Welfare Funding
California’s Child Welfare System Is Funded by a Mix of Federal, State, and Local Funds. The state’s diverse array of child welfare programs is funded by federal, state, and local funds, as illustrated by Figure 6. The proportional mix of funds used to fund any particular child welfare payment or service varies depending on whether a family is eligible for federal financial participation (a determination generally based on the income of the family from which a child was removed in foster care cases). Furthermore, the cost of services and supports may vary greatly based on the needs of the individual child and family (and whether the family is participating in Family Maintenance or the child has been placed into foster care). For example, in 2023‑24, the estimated average monthly assistance payment for foster care across all placement types is around $3,000, although for an individual child that payment may range from around $1,200 to more than $16,000 depending on where a child is placed and the level of care needed.

Field Trip Grant Program - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

This means that each grant recipient must cover all initial field trip costs. Grant funds will not be released until after a 
	field trip has occurred, all incurred expenses have been paid, and proof of payment has been provided to the Connect Kids Field Trip Grant Coordinator.
Reimbursable field trip expenses include transportation costs, as well as program, entry, pavilion fees, on-site equipment rentals (boat rentals, snowshoes, etc.), and camping at state-owned facilities. The grant 
	does not reimburse costs for food, school-purchased field trip supplies, lifeguard salaries, or any costs for chaperones who drive separately.
Please know your organization's NYS Vendor ID number. Reimbursements will be made using your organization's NYS Vendor ID number as submitted on the application. We do not send paper checks. 
	Please note that this is NOT the same as your organization's Tax ID Number/EIN. An incorrect NYS Vendor ID number will delay reimbursement to your organization.
All reimbursements will strictly adhere to the award cap which will be stated in your award letter. Please expect to receive an email with your award letter between 1 to 3 weeks after submitting a Connect Kids application.
Reimbursements will be processed through the Statewide Financial System via Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer. In some cases, an ACH transfer may combine multiple grant reimbursement(s) 
	with payments from other NYS programs or agencies. Detailed payment information can be obtained using the NYS Vendor Self-Service Portal (select "Vendor Portal Login").
