Working After Retirement

Reinstatement From Retirement

If you return to work for a CalPERS employer in a permanent, part-time or full-time position, you must reinstate from retirement into active employment.

Retired Annuitant

A "retired annuitant" is a CalPERS retiree who, without applying for Reinstatement From Retirement, returns to work with a CalPERS employer in a designated retired annuitant position. You don't need CalPERS' approval to work as a retired annuitant, but you and your employer have equal responsibility to ensure your employment is lawful.
