Topic: Announcements

To: All CalPERS Employers

Purpose

The purpose of this Circular Letter is to inform you of the new myCalPERS Reports feature replacing the Cognos application in myCalPERS effective March 9, 2026. This change will impact how you access and generate reports within myCalPERS.

Background

The myCalPERS Reports feature will replace Cognos in myCalPERS. The update simplifies the reporting process, improves data accessibility, and maintains security controls for all users. This provides you with a streamlined and user-friendly reporting experience. You can continue to query your agency’s data by generating predefined reports in HTML, CSV, or Excel formats directly within myCalPERS.

Note: Report availability is determined by user access roles. If you’re unable to run a report, contact your agency’s system access administrator to update your myCalPERS access.
