CalPERS Retirement Assistance
If you are employed in any capacity by the government, whether local, state or federal, and have a retirement pension, under certain circumstances, you may be eligible to turn the retirement pension into a retirement disability pension. Eligibility depends on the length of your employment and if you are unable to return to work in any capacity. Informing the retirement agency of your intention to file for a disability retirement may be something that you need to do upon the submission of your retirement application. You need to check that out when the decision has been made to file.
