Introducing online enrollment for the CalPERS 457 Plan

Online enrollment is now available at calpers457.com for all eligible employees on a pre-tax basis only. The CalPERS 457 Plan materials on the Employer Resource Center have been updated to help guide and educate you and your employees with enrolling in the CalPERS 457 Plan online. New online enrollment materials have also been created to help you access information in myCalPERS and answer Frequently Asked Questions. While enrollment forms from the Participant Enrollment Kit will continue to be accepted, we encourage you consider implementing online enrollment for your employees as soon as administratively feasible.
