If I have service credit under the State Miscellaneous formula for prior state service in a position other than as a DAG or Deputy State Public Defender, how will that service be calculated?
Prior state service under the Miscellaneous formula will still be calculated under Miscellaneous formula and added to your percentage for your service as a DAG under the Safety formula. Note: Because prior state Miscellaneous service in a different job is not subject to the 80% cap, your aggregate percentage may exceed 80%. The same holds true for prior service credit under the CalPERS Local Miscellaneous retirement formula for cities or counties whose retirements are handled through CalPERS. (For example: The retirement for someone with 5 years as a Caltrans worker and 30 years as a DAG who retires at age 55 will be calculated as follows. 5 years x 2% = 10%, 30 years x 2.5% = 75%. The aggregate amount for the service is 85%. Only the 30 years of service as a DAG is subject to the 80% cap, the 5 years as a Caltrans worker is not, so the aggregate can exceed 80%.)
