Can I continue working after retirement and still receive benefits?

Yes, you can continue working after retirement and still receive benefits from CalPERS. However, you need to be aware of certain rules and restrictions. If you retired and are receiving a service or industrial disability retirement benefit, there are no limitations on post-retirement employment. But if you retired under a normal service retirement, there are limitations on your working hours and compensation. For most CalPERS members, there is an annual earnings limit beyond which your retirement benefits may be affected. As of 2021, this limit is $18,240. If you exceed this amount, your CalPERS retirement benefits may be reduced for that year. It is important to understand these regulations and consult with CalPERS for more information on how your specific circumstances might affect your benefits.
