Make an Appointment

We offer several appointments to assist you in conducting your CalPERS business. Before scheduling an appointment, we recommend you first attend a retirement education class. These classes contain valuable information about CalPERS benefits that may answer your questions. We also encourage you to create a myCalPERS account if you do not have one. 

To schedule any of the appointments below, log in to myCalPERS and select the Education tab, then Appointments. Or call us during business hours at 888 CalPERS (or 888-225-7377). Appointments are available by phone, video, or in person at our Headquarters & Regional Offices located throughout the state.
