LACERA Resources

LACERA: Your Companion Throughout Your Career

From the day you enter the LACERA family, we provide you with a wealth of educational resources and service options.

From workshops explaining strategies for maximizing your retirement, to quarterly newsletters, to lacera.com, our online reservoir of all things LACERA… we stand with you as you navigate through your County career.

Educational Resources

Workshops
We offer a series of Outreach Workshops to educate and assist you in all stages of your career. New Member, Mid-Career, and Pre-Retirement Workshops provide valuable information regarding long-range retirement planning, and offer knowledge you can use to maximize your retirement benefit. Each registered Pre-Retirement attendee receives a personalized Retirement Benefit Estimate. (Personalized estimates and one-on-one consultations are not available at offsite workshops.) Reserve your time with LACERA’s Appointment and Workshop Reservation System or call 800-786-6464 to register. View Workshop Schedules.

lacera.com

  • My LACERA, your secure, online retirement account, where you can view your retirement information and perform a variety of self-service transactions

Quarterly Newsletters

PostScript, our quarterly newsletter covering issues affecting retirement, such as Plan benefits, legislation, administrative procedures, and member service enhancements, is mailed to active members.

Retirees receive our Spotlight on Retirement, which focuses on member service enhancements, administrative procedures, retiree healthcare benefits, legislation impacting retirees, and general information regarding the overall retirement system.

Annual Benefit Statement

LACERA sends an Annual Benefit Statement to all members in the month following their birthday. The statement displays personal member data, including contributions on deposit, amount of service credit, named beneficiary(ies) and, if the member is eligible to retire, an estimated monthly retirement benefit.
