The 2018 PEPRA compensation limits are $121,388 for Social Security members and $145,666 for non-Social Security members.<\/p>\n

These limits are the maximum pay that a California public agency can recognize in a defined benefit plan for PEPRA members, i.e. those first hired by a public employer in 2013 or later.\u00a0 \u201cClassic\u201d members hired from 1996 through 2012 are subject to the higher \u00a7401(a)(17) pay limit<\/a> that applies to private sector employees.<\/p>\n

Each year, the California Actuarial Advisory Panel (CAAP) publishes an \u201cunofficial\u201d calculation of the PEPRA compensation limit.\u00a0 The 2018 limits are published on the State Controller\u2019s Office website at Agenda Item #4 \u2013 Draft CAAP 2018 PEPRA Limit Letter November 21, 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CalPERS usually publishes the limits in late February or early March.\u00a0 The 2017 PERS notice is at https:\/\/www.calpers.ca.gov\/docs\/circular-letters\/2017\/200-010-17.pdf<\/a>.\u00a0 Update 1\/16\/2018: the 2018 PERS notice is at https:\/\/www.calpers.ca.gov\/page\/employers\/policies-and-procedures\/circular-letters<\/a>.\u00a0 Search for letter #200-001-18.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve confirmed all of the PEPRA calculations in the CalPERS and CAAP letters.\u00a0 Here is a complete set of the PEPRA compensation limits through 2018:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
