Who we are

We are a voluntary, valuable retirement program, offered by the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR), allowing you to supplement your retirement benefits through pre-tax and Roth payroll contributions.

Savings Plus is complementary to your CalPERS pension, and we offer a 401(k) and 457(b) that help bridge any gap in what you will need in retirement, and the amount that your pension, savings, and Social Security will replace.

Our mission

To enthusiastically serve our fellow California State employees and their families by empowering them to achieve and maintain a brighter financial future.
