California Court of Appeal
Chaidez v. Board of Administration of California Public Employees' Retirement System, C065913
READ
Judgment in favor of defendant, upholding its determination that the statutory scheme required PERS to calculate plaintiff's retirement benefits on a bifurcated basis, his time as a City employee would be calculated using his highest employee salary, and his time on the city council would be calculated separately using his highest compensation as an elected official, is affirmed, where: 1) the calculation of pension benefits is governed by statute, and plaintiff is only entitled to the retirement benefits he actually earned; and 2) on this record, nothing in the California Constitution bars PERS from applying the governing statutes in a bifurcated manner to calculate plaintiff's retirement benefits.
