§ 20582 Post-Termination Contract Events

Government Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•If your work contract ends, only things that happened before it ended count for your retirement or disability benefits.
•Nothing that happens after your contract ends will help you or your family get these benefits.
•This rule started on January 1, 1996.

Example

A teacher's contract ends on June 30. On July 5, they get hurt in a car crash and can't work.

The car crash happened after the contract ended, so it doesn’t count for disability benefits. Only injuries or work done before June 30 matter.
