§ 21372 Forestry Member Pension Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If you were a forestry worker on March 31, 1973, your pension is calculated using the old rules from that time.
  • •You won’t be affected by newer pension rules (Sections 21369 or 21369.1) unless you switch to a different state safety job later.
  • •If you do switch jobs, the new pension rules apply to all your state safety work.

Example

A firefighter who was working in the forestry department on March 31, 1973, later moves to a police department job.

Their pension for the forestry job stays under the old 1973 rules, but once they switch to the police job, all their pension (including past service) follows the newer rules.
