A new PML released by CalHR outlines some important upcoming changes to premiums and benefits for employees enrolled in Basic Group Term Life, Supplmental Life, and/or Long Term Disability insurances.
The changes specifically impact excluded employees - state supervisors, managers, and confidential employees.
The changes will go into effect beginning January 1, 2014.
More than a dozen Republican and Democrat mayors throughout California have signed a letter urging San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed to drop his attack on public employees' retirement.
"We believe that engaging our public servants in constructive dialogue rather than political battles is a more effective way of achieving balancing budgets," wrote the elected leaders.
A press release from CalPERS confirms that a federal investigation into JPMorgan's accused civil securities violation will yield a nearly $261 million settlement.
CalPERS suffered a loss of some $221.6 million due to investments in JPMorgan's mortgage-backed securities from 2005-07.
The settlement will cover CalPERS' entire loss in addition to interest.

According to a memo and press release issued by the State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF), two top executives will be leaving the agency.
At a board meeting last week, it was announced that CEO Tom Rowe and CFO Dan Sevilla will "step away from overseeing day-to-day operations immediately."
Rowe served as CEO/president since August 2010 and Sevilla began serving as interim CFO in October 2010.
The board has named current SCIF General Counsel Carol Newman as interim CEO and current SCIF CIO Pete Guastamachio as interim CFO.
These changes come roughly one year after Rowe announced that SCIF was able to eliminate nearly 40% of its workfoce without a layoff.
It took a few months, but thanks to ACSS, I finally got what I deserved:
A 3% raise and backpay.
I was demoted in lieu of layoff a few years ago when CDCR was downsizing and I slowly worked my way back up to the same supervisory position.
Like many excluded employees who have been topped out for years, I was eagerly awaitng my raise when the 3% bump hit in July.
I tore open my paystub in July. No raise.
Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido has distanced himself from San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed's embattled pension attack on public employees.
After Mayor Reed withdrew his original ballot initiative, he resubmitted a revised version that was conspicuously missing Mayor Pulido's endorsement.

Furthermore, the HRB will be working to process an additional 3,700+ unusual cases (such as those employees who have received worker's comp, worked overtime, etc., etc.) that fall outside the SCO's processing capabilities.
