The state makes General Fund payments to the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS).
Effective July 1, 2003, the annual General Fund contribution to the CalSTRS Defined Benefit Program is based on 2.017 percent of members' creditable earnings of the fiscal year ending in the immediately preceding calendar year. Current law also provides for an additional state contribution when the Teachers' Retirement Fund has a normal cost deficit or unfunded obligation for benefits that were in place on July 1, 1990.
