No Federal or State income tax will be withheld from your wages. DO NOT COMPLETE PARTS I, II OR III. (See

I claim exemption from withholding because of no tax liability: Last year I did not owe any income tax and had a right to a full
refund of ALL income tax withheld, AND this year I do not expect to owe any income tax and expect to have a right to a full
refund of ALL income tax withheld.
This exemption will automatically expire on February 15 of next year unless you file a new certification by
January 31 of next year. Employers may be required to notify IRS if you earn more than $200 per week.
I claim that the wages I will be receiving from the State are either a 1) MINISTER OF A CHURCH in the exercise of his/her

EMPLOYEE ACTION REQUEST
STD. 686 (REV. 9/2005) (BACK, EMPLOYEE COPY)
INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYEES COVERED BY THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM (PERS)
You are entering into membership in the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) which provides you and your fellow State employees with retirement and other benefits. Member contributions, those
contributions made by the State of California, and the interest earned on investments provide for service retirement, disability retirement, and death benefits. An information booklet is available from your
personnel office. The booklet describes your particular benefit coverage in detail.
BENEFICIARIES FOR DEATH BENEFITS
1.
STATUTORY BENEFICIARIES – If you should die while in employment covered by PERS and you do not name other beneficiaries, death benefits will be paid to your survivors in the following order:
a. Your spouse (husband or wife) or domestic partner.
b. If you have no spouse or domestic partner, your children (share and share alike).
c. If you have no spouse, domestic partner, or children, your parents (share and share alike).
d. If you have none of the above, the benefits will be paid to your estate. If your estate will not be probated, payment will be made to next of kin as provided by law.
2.
NAMING DIFFERENT BENEFICIARIES – If you wish, you may at any time name different beneficiaries or change the order of those listed as statutory. To do so, you must file with PERS, a Beneficiary Designation (State Form
STD. 241), obtainable from your personnel office. DO NOT FILE FORM STD. 241 IF THE STATUTORY BENEFICIARIES LISTED IN ITEM NO. 1 ARE SATISFACTORY.
Each time you have a change in marital or domestic partnership status, or you acquire a child by birth or adoption, the Public Employees’ Retirement Law will automatically revoke any previously named beneficiaries and establish
statutory beneficiaries as listed in Item No. 1. If the statutory beneficiaries are not satisfactory, you must file a form STD. 241 to reflect your desired change.
RESTORATION OR PURCHASE OF RETIREMENT SERVICE CREDIT
If you were a former member of the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) and withdrew your contributions, you have the right to redeposit those funds as a member of the first-tier retirement plan and restore your previous
service; or your previous state service can be restored at no cost if you are a member of the second-tier plan and you have elected to have all past service credited to your account. You may also have the right to receive retirement service
credit for state employment in which you were not a PERS member. Additional retirement service credit will in most cases increase your potential retirement benefits. Information on restoration or purchase of retirement service credit
may be obtained by writing to the Public Employees’ Retirement System, Member Services Division – 832, P.O. Box 942704, Sacramento, CA 94229-2704.
