Employer Contribution Rates
SBCERA retirement benefits are funded through contributions paid by participating active employers, members, and earnings from SBCERA investments. Employer contribution requirements are determined by periodic actuarial valuations under state law, conducted by actuaries. The Board of Retirement reviews and sets contribution rate increases or decreases on the basis of these studies each fiscal year.
