FAQ:
Schedule an individual consultation:
You can contact CalSTRS to set up an individual consultation at 800-228-5453.
Many questions about the SERP are very individual since they relate to members’ work history, salary, and financial situation, so it is a good idea to consult with relevant experts (financial planners, tax experts, etc.) to get individualized information.
