CalPERS recently released the schedule of retirement check pay days for 2010.

Retirement benefits are paid at the end of the month. For example, the payment you receive on or about the first of June is for your May benefits. For tax reasons, your December retirement check is always dated on the first day of the new year.

The State Controller's Office determines the mailing dates and sends the checks. If you have direct deposit, your financial institution has until the close of the direct deposit date to place the funds into your account. Please contact your financial institution to find out what time it places your funds in your account.
