‘Start Early and Start Now’ — Insights From CalPERS Benefits Education Events
3 months ago

Planning your retirement future isn’t something to be left for the last minute, or even the last few years. That’s why we offer our keystone event — CalPERS Benefits Education Events, or CBEEs — several times a year, for free, for members at any stage of their career. 

“It’s incredibly rewarding to witness CalPERS members learn about their benefits to make more informed decisions that afford themselves a more comfortable future,” said David Rubio, chief of our Customer Education & Outreach Division, which hosts the event. “We encourage all members, especially those earlier in their careers, to take advantage of these events. You can’t put a price on knowledge.”
Our recent Riverside event attracted 1,500 attendees, making it the highest attended CBEE since returning to in-person events after the pandemic. We found several attendees who are early to midway through their careers getting an early start on their retirement planning. Here’s what they had to say:

Won Choi, 45, Cal Poly Pomona
Won Choi, an academic counselor at Cal Poly Pomona, has learned to “beware of water cooler talk” when it comes to his retirement, health care, and other CalPERS benefits.
“Not everything that applied to my now-retired supervisors and co-workers will uniformly apply to me,” said Choi, who at 45 years old and with 22 years as a public sector employee, attended his first CBEE in Riverside in February. “It’s been great to hear from CalPERS officials who clarify misinformation.”
He’s not looking to retire now or even soon, but perhaps in another 20 years. But he wants to know his options now regarding deferred compensation plans, health care, and pension payouts — so he can plan for the time in between.
2001 Budget Analysis: Child Care and Development
The 2001-02 Governor's Budget provides another $681 million for CalWORKs child care in other departmental budgets, including $666 million in the
Department of Social Services (DSS) budget. This brings the state's total child care and development expenditures from state and federal funds to over
$2.7 billion in the budget year. This total does not include another important piece of California's subsidized child care system—the federal Head Start program,
which provides preschool services at many sites in California but is managed directly by the federal government without state involvement. In federal fiscal year
(FFY) 2000, the federal government spent nearly $643 million on Head Start programs in California, serving 92,000 children. The federal budget for FFY 2001
includes an increase of $93 million for California Head Start programs. This will serve roughly an additional 5,000 children.

Ice on the Caspian

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Tassia Owen 
	Posted in News and Events 

The Caspian Sea isn’t really a sea but in fact a giant lake that spans roughly 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) from north to south. In the winter, ice often forms over the lake’s northernmost reaches, while the central and southern parts remain ice free. Temperatures are generally lower in the north, so you might guess that the ice owes its existence purely to the higher latitude. But the reality is more complex: From north to south, the Caspian Sea also exhibits differences in salinity and depth. Read more

Dust Storm in Libya

	Posted in News and Events 

A dust storm blew out of Libya and across the Mediterranean Sea in late March 2013. Southwest of the coastal city of Banghazi (Benghazi), an especially thick dust plume spanned roughly 100 kilometers (60 miles), and the plume was thick enough to completely hide the ocean surface below.

2001 Budget Analysis: Department of Food and Agriculture (8570)
The Legislature also adopted supplemental report language directing the department to report to the Legislature, by January 1, 2001, the results of their consultations with the task force and
their evaluation of the potential adverse effects on public health and the environment. It also requires the department to report on the overall strategy developed for reviewing the county work
plans to ensure that they result in the least possible harm to the public and the environment while effectively and expeditiously combating PD and the insects that carry it.
The department's report was received late in January, too late to review for this analysis. Upon review of the report, we will make recommendations, as appropriate, to the Legislature during
budget hearings.
Headquarters Relocation Not Justified 
We recommend the Legislature delete the $729,000 augmentation request to move the Department of Food and Agriculture's headquarters from state-owned buildings into
leased facilities because it is both costly and unnecessary to move the department. (Reduce Item
8570-001-0001 by $566,000, Item 8570-001-0191 by $66,000, and Item
8570-001-0111 by $97,000.) 
The Governor's budget includes a $729,000 augmentation for DFA's facilities operations to support increased leasing costs to permanently move the department's headquarters from two
state-owned buildings to leased space. According to DFA, additional costs are anticipated for tenant improvements at the leased facilities and for relocation and moving costs. Therefore, DFA
indicates that it may submit a deficiency request regarding the proposal.
Currently, the headquarters is located near the State Capitol at 1220 N Street and 1215 O Street. The proposed move is based on the assumption that DFA must vacate the buildings because
of the Department of General Services (DGS) plan to renovate them. The renovation plan is included in the Governor's budget under DGS's capital outlay program. The estimated future cost
for the renovations totals $38 million. The Legislature has previously approved design funds to renovate the 1220 N Street building, but has deferred construction because of the potential to

Benefits Payable - CalPERS
If the member was separated from employment for more than four months for reasons unrelated to their health, they are considered an inactive member and the Limited Death Benefit will be the only benefit paid. If they left CalPERS to join another California public retirement system, there may be additional benefits paid from CalPERS, so the total benefit paid by both systems will equal the amount that would have been paid if all the service was with CalPERS.
No death benefits are payable if the member separated from CalPERS employment and terminated their membership by withdrawing or refunding all their contributions.
State Second Tier Members
Benefits are not payable upon the death of a State Second Tier member if they were not vested (had less than 10 years of service credit) at the time of death, their separation from employment was prior to death, and they did not contribute any dollar amounts to CalPERS. Because of the Pension Reform Act of 2013, all State Second Tier members, including classic members, began paying retirement contributions to CalPERS, effective July 1, 2013. If the member contributed dollar amounts to CalPERS, or was vested and separated within four months of death, our regular death benefits are paid. If separation was more than four months before death, and medical information can substantiate the member was too ill to work, our regular death benefits are paid, whether or not the member paid retirement contributions to CalPERS.

Retirees
Benefits payable upon the death of a retired member depend on:

Eligible beneficiary
Former employer's contract with CalPERS
Marital status
The option they chose at retirement

The following benefits may be payable:

One-Time Payments

If the Option 1 Balance was chosen at retirement, any unused member contributions in their account are paid in a lump sum. Member contributions are usually depleted 10-12 years after retirement.
The Pro Rata Payment is a lump-sum payment for the allowance due for the month of death, prorated through the date of death. If the Purchasing Power Protection Allowance (PPPA) was paid, it is not prorated since this is paid in advance.
The Retired Death Benefit amount varies based on the former employer.
Home - Veterans Affairs (VA) History
Object 77: Wheelchair Basketball at VABasketball is one of the most popular sports in the nation. However, for paraplegic Veterans after World War II it was impossible with the current equipment and wheelchairs at the time. While VA offered these Veterans a healthy dose of physical and occupational therapy as well as vocational training, patients craved something more. They wanted to return to the sports, like basketball, that they had grown up playing. Their wheelchairs, which were incredibly bulky and commonly weighed over 100 pounds limited play. 
However, the revolutionary wheelchair design created in the late 1930s solved that problem. Their chairs featured lightweight aircraft tubing, rear wheels that were easy to propel, and front casters for pivoting. Weighing in at around 45 pounds, the sleek wheelchairs were ideal for sports, especially basketball with its smooth and flat playing surface. The mobility of paraplegic Veterans drastically increased as they mastered the use of the chair, and they soon began to roll themselves into VA hospital gyms to shoot baskets and play pickup games.

No VA news or updates – just HISTORY!Subscribe to the NewsletterNational VA History CenterThe National VA History Center is the forthcoming museum and archival center for the historical collection and records pertaining to the Department of Veterans Affairs and its legacy agencies. It is located at the Dayton VA Medical Center campus, itself a designated National Historic Landmark. While the idea of the history center is not new, recent actions to make it a reality are. Ceremonies marking its official establishment – and the start of renovation work on two historic buildings to house the collection – were held in August 2020. The public opening of the facility isn’t expected for several years, but great work is ongoing behind the scenes. Look for monthly updates in the Curator Corner, illustrating the multi-faceted steps that go into establishing a museum and its collection as well as the archives with its growing amount of records from scratch. This will be the GO-TO home for the History Center.
Getting Urgent Care At VA Or In-Network Community Providers | Veterans Affairs
Learn about VA travel pay reimbursement

No. Urgent care isn’t a replacement for your primary care provider (PCP). And your urgent care benefit doesn’t cover the preventive health services your primary care provider offers.
Use urgent care when you need treatment right away for minor illnesses and injuries. If you think the urgent care provider won’t understand your medical history or medicines, contact your primary care provider.

Contact your nearest VA health facility. All of our VA medical centers offer same-day primary care and mental health services.
If you think your life or health is in danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Know that we can only pay for your emergency care under certain conditions.

Archeology

Home / Historic Preservation Office / Archeology

Archeology is the study of the past through the material remains that people have left behind. While New York State's historic 
 built environment records almost 400 years of non-native development, its archeological resources represent 12,000 years of 
 human activity. Archeological sites yield important information about the state's pre-European contact and historic populations, 
 documenting various cultures, traditions, and human interactions with the environment. In many cases, archeological data is the 
 only information available about the state's early peoples and places.
New York possesses a diverse collection of archeological resources. Some significant examples of Native American sites 
 include the Dutchess Quarry Caves in Orange County, which have produced some of the earliest evidence of human occupation in 
 the western hemisphere, Lamoka Lake in Schuyler County and the Oberlander and Robinson Sites along Onondaga Lake, important 
 Archaic period sites (4500-2000 BC), and Ganondagon State Historic Site, a well-known Late Woodland and historic period Seneca 
 village site in Victor. Some important historic archeological properties include the site of Fort Orange in Albany, which is associated
