Part-Time, Seasonal or Temporary Employees Retirement Program

The PST Retirement Program is a mandatory retirement savings program authorized by federal law for employees who are not covered by a retirement system. The Savings Plus Program, part of the Department of Personnel Administration, administers the PST Program for California State employees and California State University employees.

If you're a State or CSU employee who is not covered by Social Security and you're excluded from coverage under the California Public Employees Retirement System, you're automatically enrolled in the PST Program. This program is set up as a 457 Plan, a type of retirement savings plan governed by IRS rules.
