Important Update

VCERA Pension Litigation

California Supreme Court Review Expected in 2026

REAVC's litigation on behalf of County retirees regarding VCERA's pension reduction impacts is expected to be heard by the California Supreme Court in early 2026. The case concerns whether VCERA can apply Alameda-decision reductions to retirees who left service on or after January 1, 2013.

REAVC's position: We do not agree that these reductions are required by law, and we continue to advocate for retirees who earned these benefits in good faith.

Your Voice Makes Us Stronger

Membership dues are just $2/month — payable through VCERA payroll deduction. Join REAVC today and help us continue protecting the benefits you earned.
