CALPERS POWER OF ATTORNEY

Plan Ahead, Protect Your Benefits

Planning for the future is essential, and establishing a Power of Attorney through CalPERS ensures your benefits are managed according to your wishes in the event that you're unable to do so. By setting up this legal document, you can appoint someone you trust to act on your behalf, giving you peace of mind that your retirement benefits and health coverage are in good hands.

Why you Might Need a CalPERS Power of Attorney

A CalPERS Power of Attorney is specifically designed to manage your retirement benefits. It ensures:

• Your representative can handle matters related to your retirement account.
• Your preferences are honored, even if you're unable to make decisions yourself.
• Important deadlines and benefit updates are managed effectively.

Unlike a general power of attorney, the CalPERS version is tailored to cover only CalPERS-related matters, providing focused authority for your designated agent.
