Important: These rate changes only apply to active City of San Diego employees, and Airport Authority and Unified Port District employees hired after 2013.
New contribution rates went into effect July 1, 2018 for City of San Diego members and Airport Authority and Unified Port District employees hired after 2013. Most members will note only a minor adjustment on their July paycheck.
These member contributions are the required pre-tax contributions to the SDCERS trust fund that are deducted from the members' bi-weekly paychecks. Contribution rates are determined by a member's plan tier and age of entry into SDCERS.
Contribution rates are based on actuarial assumptions and calculations provided by SDCERS' actuary, Cheiron.
