How will working as a retired annuitant affect my retirement benefits?
The maximum number of hours an individual can work as a retired annuitant was established by CalPERS to protect individuals from affecting their benefits. Therefore, it is imperative that you work closely with the hiring department(s) to ensure you do not exceed 960 hours per fiscal year (July – June). If you also work for other non-CalPERS employers, you should contact CalPERS and/or the Social Security Administration to determine if other types of employment will affect your benefits.
