Spring into Retirement with Pension2®

Have you heard the terms “403(b),” “TSA” or “retirement savings” and wondered what they mean or how they could potentially benefit you? This webinar explains how the CalSTRS Pension2 program can help you throughout your retirement. This voluntary component of the CalSTRS hybrid retirement system may seem optional, but for almost all employees, it’s crucial for ensuring a comfortable retirement—particularly for CalSTRS members hired after January 1, 2013.

You’ll also learn what roll over options you have for your Defined Benefit Supplement account and other qualified plans you may have, plus how to access your Pension2 funds when you’re ready to begin receiving distributions from your account.
