Retirement Resources

CCFT Contract, Art. 18: Retirement

CalSTRS: "Pension Reform Impacts on CalSTRS" has links to Frequently Asked Questions about AB 340, a detailed summary, and a fact sheet on recent changes to benefits.

Faculty Voice article from Dec. 2012 sums up STRS changes.

AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) advocates for those over 50. If you're not already a member, take a look at available benefits.

The US Government provides a list of resources on retirement as part of its larger website of resources for senior citizens.

Medicare.gov is the Official US Government Site for Medicare.
