Beware of Unsolicited Communications from Retirement or Benefits Companies
We are aware that employees are receiving emails offering opportunities specific to CalPERS and CalSTRS. These emails are not requested or sponsored by the District. District sponsored emails will come from a PUSD email address.
Financial institutions and investment companies will often reach out to staff members, claiming to be working with the District on retirement opportunities. When you receive an unsolicited email such as the email pictured, you can click on "Report Spam" or "Unsubscribe" to reduce the chances of receiving future emails from that vendor.
If you have questions regarding your benefits, reach out directly to the Benefits department at benefits@pusd.us.
