Do I need to tell CalSTRS that I’m a registered domestic partner and, if so, do I need to provide proof?
You may inform CalSTRS that you are registered as a domestic partner. To provide proof, send us a clear, unaltered copy of your Declaration of Domestic Partnership showing the stamp and file number from the Secretary of State’s office. If you do not notify us of your partnership before you die, your partner may be eligible for benefits, but would first have to provide proof that you were registered domestic partners prior to the occurrence of the injury or diagnosis of the illness that resulted in your death. This may cause a delay in paying benefits to your survivors.
