California Retired Teachers Association

The repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) was a historic victory - but the work isn't over.

CalRTA continues to advocate for retired educators in Washington, D.C., and at the California Capitol, protecting pensions, defending retiree benefits, and making sure your voice is heard.

Advocacy doesn't end with one win. Neither do we.

You earned your CalSTRS pension through years of service. Don’t assume it will always be protected.

The decisions that affect retired educators don't stop after retirement - and neither does CalRTA. We work year-round with lawmakers, state leaders, and CalSTRS to protect the retirement security you earned.

Stand with the organization that's standing up for you.
