This section establishes the official name for the law related to dental care benefits for state employees. It's known as the State Employees’ Dental Care Act.

This law aims to achieve three primary goals: First, it strives to improve the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of state services. Second, it seeks to attract and keep skilled workers by offering dental care plans similar to those in the private sector. Third, it emphasizes the importance of protecting the state's investment in its permanent employees by ensuring their health and well-being is maintained.

This section states that the definitions of terms used in a certain part of the government code start from Section 22750, and unless mentioned otherwise, apply to this specific part as well.

This law allows California state entities, like the Department of Human Resources and universities, to set up dental care plans for their employees and retirees. They can choose established dental carriers or self-fund these plans if it's cheaper. Employees aren't required to use both health and dental plans from the same provider, even if they're enrolled in both. However, the state can only offer a dental plan if the Legislature provides funding for it, unless the plan is self-funded, which doesn't need separate legislative approval.

The law sets up a special fund called the State Employees’ Dental Care Fund within the State Treasury. This fund is for allocating money to cover dental care plans for state employees, except those at California State University. The Department of Human Resources uses this fund to settle dental claims and administrative costs. Any interest earned by this fund gets added back to it. The funds are continuously available to be used as specified.

This law section establishes a specific fund within the State Treasury called the California State University Employees’ Dental Care Fund. It is set up to manage money for self-funded dental care plans for California State University employees. The fund is used to pay for dental claims and administrative expenses, and any income earned from it goes back into the fund. This money is automatically available for use as set by this law and another related section.

This section allows a retired state employee, called an annuitant, to join a dental care plan if they meet certain conditions. They must enroll if they weren't already part of a health or dental plan but were eligible when they retired, as long as they retired within 120 days of leaving the job. Alternatively, they might be receiving a specific kind of pension. The board that oversees this benefit doesn't have to track down or inform retirees about their eligibility, except for a special case with the California State University (CSU). If the CSU requests, the board must help notify retirees by sharing names and addresses, but the CSU must keep this information private.

If you were in a dental plan when you became a state or federal retiree, you can keep your plan for you and your family without facing higher costs or fewer benefits. You'll need to pay part of the monthly fee, but it can't be more than what current employees pay for a similar state-sponsored plan. The cost will be taken from your monthly pension.

This law outlines who is eligible for employer-paid dental benefits in retirement for certain California state employees. Generally, state employees must have at least 10 years of service to qualify for these benefits unless specific circumstances apply. The percentage of dental benefits increases with more years of service, starting at 50% for 10 years of service and reaching 100% for 20 or more years. Employees included are those in specific bargaining units and roles, with certain timeframes for when they began employment. There are exceptions, such as employees whose prior service for a public agency may be counted only if costs have been reimbursed. The rule does not apply to employees of the California State University or the Legislature, and applies only to those retiring for service.

This California law states that certain state employees hired on or after January 1, 2017, must have at least 15 years of state service to receive any part of the employer's post-retirement contribution for annuitant benefits. It specifically applies to employees in designated State Bargaining Units and outlines how the percentage of employer contributions to post-retirement dental benefits increases with years of service, starting at 50% for 15 years and reaching 100% at 25 years. Various scenarios and exceptions are clarified, such as employees hired before 2017, those on leave, and specific conditions under which public agency service counts toward state service. The statute also considers financial arrangements when state functions and personnel are transferred from public agencies.

This law explains that judicial branch employees hired by the state on or after January 1, 2017, need to have at least 15 years of state service to receive any employer contributions toward their retirement benefits. The amount of contribution they receive is based on how long they have worked for the state at the time of retirement, with percentages increasing with each additional year of service up to 25 years. Specifically, after 15 years, they get 50% of the contribution, and this goes up to 100% after 25 years of service.

This only applies to employees retiring for service and defines 'state service' as working as a state employee or official. However, there are exceptions: it does not apply to former employees who left before 2017 and returned, employees on approved leave before 2017, or judges retiring under specific judicial retirement laws.

This law states that certain California State University employees won't receive the retirement contribution from their employer unless they have 10 years of state service at retirement. This applies to two specific groups: those in Bargaining Unit 3 and non-represented employee groups, if they start working and join the system on or after July 1, 2017.

It is specifically for California State University employees who retire due to service. This rule only takes effect if the CSU Trustees approve it or if it's included in a formal agreement as stated under the relevant law.

This law states that employees who start working at California State University (CSU) on or after July 1, 2018, and are part of certain bargaining units, won't get the employer's contribution toward retirement benefits unless they have at least 10 years of credited state service when they retire. This applies only to those retiring from service. Additionally, this rule is effective only if adopted through specific regulations by the CSU Trustees or as part of an agreement in a formal understanding process.

This law explains that employees of the California State University who are part of Bargaining Unit 11 and start working there on or after July 1, 2019, must have at least 10 years of credited state service to receive retirement benefits from their employer when they retire. This applies only to employees retiring for normal service, not other types of retirement.

Also, this regulation takes effect only if the CSU Trustees formally adopt it or if it's included in a specific agreement between parties.

This law states that the Department of Human Resources is responsible for managing benefits for civil service employees and retirees. Meanwhile, the California State University Trustees are responsible for managing benefits for CSU employees and retirees.

This law specifies that certain state employees in California, particularly those associated with State Bargaining Unit 16 and hired after April 1, 2017, aren't eligible for employer contributions toward retirement benefits unless they have at least 15 years of credited state service. The contribution for dental benefits post-retirement increases progressively with each additional year of service, reaching 100% for those with 25 or more years.

However, the rule doesn't apply to state employees who were employed before this date and return to employment or become part of Bargaining Unit 16 later. The law also states that for services assumed from public agencies, such service won't count towards state service unless the former employer agrees to cover the associated costs for vested dental benefits. Additionally, state employees must retire from service to benefit, and the definition of state service includes compensation for work as state employees or officers.

This law describes when certain state employees in California can receive contributions from their employer towards post-retirement benefits. Specifically, it affects those in or related to State Bargaining Units 9 and 10, who started their state employment and joined the retirement system on or after January 1, 2019. To qualify for any portion of these benefits at retirement, employees must have at least 15 years of state service. The percentage of benefits they receive increases with each additional year of service, maxing out at 100% after 25 years. However, this rule doesn't apply to employees who worked for the state before 2019, returned to work, or switched to Bargaining Units 9 or 10 after that date. Service credit from other public agencies may be counted only if specific financial conditions are met.
