Dear Member,
Y
ou are being provided with the background, explanation, and instructions for the Reciprocal
Self-Certification Form (PERS-CASD 801).
W
ith the implementation of The Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) on
January 1, 2013, CalPERS requires that employers determine the applicable retirement benefit formula
for new employees. The Reciprocal Self-Certification form allows you to provide essential information
to your employer and will be used by your employer to enroll you into CalPERS membership. This
information will assist in identifying your retirement benefit level
1
.
R
eciprocity among public retirement systems is to allow members to separate from one public employer
and enter into employment with another public employer within a specific time limit without losing
valuable retirement and related benefit rights.
W
ithin 10 business days of employment you must complete, sign, date, and submit to your employer
the Reciprocal Self-Certification form. When completing the form, reference the attached list of
qualifying Public Retirement Systems in California. If applicable, list your previous membership date(s) in
the qualifying Public Retirement System and your permanent separation date(s); OR indicate that you
are not a current or past member of a qualifying Public Retirement System.
The completion of the Reciprocal Self-Certification Form does not establish reciprocity and is not a
request to establish reciprocity. In order to request that reciprocity be established, visit the CalPERS
website, www.calpers.ca.gov and download the publication When You Change Retirement Systems. It
is the responsibility of the employee
to complete and send the form, Confirmation of Intent to Establish
Reciprocity When Changing Retirement Systems to CalPERS.
