FAQ
Although many of the programs base benefit amounts and eligibility to work history, there are some instances where a person who has never worked can collect benefits. One program that provides benefits to people, not based on their work history, is Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
HB2063 will require private-sector employers with five or more employees that have been in operation for at least two years and that don't already offer a qualified employer-provided retirement plan to make the state's program available to their employees.
B. You can stop working and start receiving your retirement benefits. If you make the decision to stop working and start receiving retirement benefits before your full retirement age, your benefits are reduced a fraction of a percent for each month before your full retirement age.
If you stop work before you start receiving benefits and you have less than 35 years of earnings, your benefit amount is affected. We use a zero for each year without earnings when we calculate the amount of retirement benefits you are due. Years with no earnings reduce your retirement benefit amount.
Current rule: As of June 30, 2022, California requires employers with five or more employees, to offer a retirement savings plan.

Saving for retirement without a regular paycheck is possible. Several options offer tax advantages. For those who are eligible, solo 401(k)s, spousal IRAs, and HSAs can help build a retirement nest egg. Investments in a brokerage account, while not tax-deferred, can also help grow retirement savings.

At age 65 • At age 62 with 10 or more years of credited service • At any combination of years of credited service and age, totaling 80 points. Example: If you have 31 years of credited service and you are 49 years of age, you will be eligible for a normal retirement because you have 80 points (49 + 31 = 80).
Retirement Eligibility Members can retire with a lifetime benefit as early as age 50 once they have acquired 5 years of service credits. Because retirement benefits are based on "normal" retirement rules, a member who takes an early retirement will receive a reduced benefit for their lifetime.
There are a number of ways to use existing retirement-savings vehicles to save without an employer, including a solo 401(k), a spousal individual retirement account (IRA), and a health savings account (HSA).
