Online enrollment on a pre-tax and/or Roth after-tax basis is available as of 2025 for all eligible employees of agencies that have adopted the CalPERS 457 Plan.

The CalPERS 457 Plan is designed with our participants’ interests in mind, which is why the Plan has added an online enrollment experience to make it even easier for employees to join the Plan by saving a flat dollar amount per pay period.

Please bookmark this page and visit it regularly for new resources and updates as you and your team get familiar and become comfortable with processing online enrollments. Enrollment-related materials are also available to simplify the enrollment process for employees.

Employers are now notified of enrollments through a pop-up notification when logging into myCalPERS. Employers also receive a letter in lieu of receiving enrollment forms. These notifications capture both online and paper enrollments. If a notification doesn’t include a contribution amount, the enrollment was likely submitted using a paper form.

Agencies with regular enrollments may also retrieve a weekly enrollment report through Voya’s Sponsor Web. An enrollment report is posted every Monday and includes all enrollments from the prior week. To request access to Sponsor Web or for questions, please email CalPERS_457_Plan@calpers.ca.gov.


When you receive a pop-up notification through myCalPERS, follow these steps
(unless you do not handle CalPERS 457 Plan enrollments or payroll processing):

 
 
 
  1. Review the employee’s name, CalPERS ID, and the contribution amount(s)/type(s) elected.
    If a dollar amount is omitted on an online enrollment, please email CalPERS_457_Plan@calpers.ca.gov.

  2. Coordinate internally to ensure that the contributions elected are deducted from the employee’s
    paycheck on the following earned period after they enrolled.

  3. Manually add the newly enrolled employee to the appropriate payroll report in myCalPERS.
  When you receive an enrollment notice by mail or email:
 
  1. Review the employee’s name, CalPERS ID, and the contribution amount(s)/type(s) elected. If a dollar amount is omitted on an online enrollment, please email CalPERS_457_Plan@calpers.ca.gov.

  2. Coordinate internally to ensure that the contributions elected are deducted from the employee’s paycheck on the following earned period after they enrolled.

  3. Manually add the newly enrolled employee to the appropriate payroll report in myCalPERS.

  4. File the letter notification in the employee’s personnel file for record-keeping and documentation purposes.
