Welcome

Welcome to our website. If you are interested in becoming a member of RPEA please visit our About RPEA section, where you can learn about who we are and what we do. The Join RPEA section includes a printer friendly application form.

RPEA is a non-profit association of retirees and active employees who are members of the California Public Retirement System (CalPERS). Our mission is important:

  • RPEA represents all public employees - classified schools, public agencies, and state.
  • RPEA is liaison between retirees and CalPERS.
  • RPEA is a mutual protective association for all beneficiaries of CalPERS.
  • RPEA fights to maintain our current pension and health care benefits and improve these benefits every year.
  • RPEA has local chapters in your area - attend meetings to stay informed and hear interesting speakers.

While we encourage participation in one of our 87 chapters, most of our members participate by reading our bi-monthly newsletter, giving us feedback on their needs, and enrolling in one or more of our "members only" insurance programs.

At $3.00 per month, RPEA is a bargain hard to resist. We need you and you need us — to support our fight to protect our pensions and benefits.
