What All Retirees Need to Know
When using myCalPERS to submit your health enrollment request, you’ll see which documents are required, and can upload them at your convenience.
You can view the status of your request at any time in your myCalPERS account.
We’ll receive an electronic notification, when you submit a new enrollment or change request, to verify eligibility and approve the request. Once your request is approved, you’ll receive an email, and a confirmation letter will be viewable in your account.
