The Retired Employees of San Bernardino County (RESBC) and Pacific Group Agencies (PGA) have recently mailed information to some retirees regarding their membership drive and open enrollment period. Since SBCERA does not administer health or vision coverage and simply facilitates the deduction, our staff cannot answer specific questions regarding these changes. For more information, please contact PGA at (800) 511-9065 or RESBC@pgagencies.com.

Three seats on the SBCERA Board of Retirement are up for election on December 3, 2019. On the ballot will be candidates for one General Member, one Retired Member, and one Alternate Retired Member seat. The trustees elected during this cycle will serve three-year terms, commencing January 1, 2020, and expiring on December 31, 2022. More information can be found by visiting the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters website at the following link:

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has once again awarded SBCERA top honors for the 2018 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), "Journey to the Top." For the 22nd year in a row, SBCERA has received GFOA's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.

As part of our ongoing Retirement 101 Series, SBCERA has created an animated video explaining Reciprocity. Please visit our YouTube Channel to watch this new video and the many others we have available.
