The Defined Benefit Program provides benefits to your survivors whether your death occurs before or after retirement. There are two types of coverage: Coverage A and Coverage B. Which coverage you have depends on your membership date and whether you elected Coverage B when given the choice.

As a member of the CalSTRS Defined Benefit Program, you have disability protection under one of the CalSTRS disability benefit programs.

If you have been or are currently going through a divorce, legal separation or termination of a registered domestic partnership, your current or former spouse or registered domestic partner may have a community property interest in your CalSTRS benefits.

You can arrange to have a third party manage your CalSTRS account and benefits if or when you become incapacitated and can no longer manage your financial affairs.
