Are you planning to retire soon?

  1. Review the When You Are Ready to Retire guide for an overview of the necessary steps to retire. 
  2. Review the Deferred Compensation Plans - Separation from City Service Information for information regarding funds in your City of Sacramento 401(a) and 457(b) plans. 
  3. Review your labor agreement to understand your eligibility for retiree health benefits. 
  4.  Schedule an appointment with your Benefit Services team member to complete City paperwork for your retirement.

The City of Sacramento provides retirement pension benefits through the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). Labor agreements are available on the Labor Relations page. Retirees should refer to the Labor Agreement for the rep unit they retired from for the most current information on eligibility of retiree health benefits. For CalPERS pension estimates, please contact CalPERS directly.

Cash-in-lieu

Annual enrollment is required to receive the City's retiree contribution as cash-in-lieu towards your eligible medical premium. If there is a change to your medical premium during the year, you must send proof of your new premium amount to Benefit Services.
