§ 50135 Retirement System Membership Rules

• •The board decides who must join the retirement system.
• •If you're in the group they pick, you have to join—no choice.
• •Board members themselves don’t have to join.

If you work for a city and the board says all city workers must join the retirement plan, you have to sign up even if you don’t want to.

The board makes the rules, and if you’re in the group they pick, you’re automatically in the retirement system.
