The federal government does not currently recognize California’s registered domestic partner law. As such, some pension benefits given to a spouse under federal law may not apply to registered domestic partners. Return to top I want to be informed of all changes in the law related to registered domestic partners. If I change my address at the California Secretary of State’s Office, do I also need to inform CalSTRS of my address change? Yes, although notices of changes in the law related to registered domestic partners are mailed by the California Secretary of State’s office, anytime you change your address you should notify CalSTRS to keep your address current in our records. You may change your address by registering at myCalSTRS.
