Matched summer savings for school staff
Your district can opt in to the summer savings program. If it does in a funded year, it must tell classified staff by January 1 and cannot back out for the next school year. You may elect by March 1 to withhold up to 10% of your monthly pay and choose one or two summer payments. The state matches up to $1 for each $1 you withhold, but only if money is appropriated; if requests are higher than funds, matches are prorated. By May 1 the state estimates matches; by June 1 your district tells you your expected match, and you can withdraw or reduce within 30 days after school starts. Districts hold withheld pay in a separate account, request funds by July 31, receive state apportionment within 30 days, and pay you during summer. State match money does not count as pensionable pay for CalPERS or CalSTRS, and the program runs only in years the budget funds it (including use of unspent prior-year funds).
Hardship or leaving: get withheld pay
If you separate during the school year or face an economic or personal hardship, you can ask your district to pay you the withheld wages now. If you take any withheld pay early, you lose the state match on those amounts.
Who can enroll and income cap
You must have worked for your LEA at least one year when you enroll. You qualify if your regular assignment is 11 months or less; the LEA must ignore hours outside your regular assignment when counting. You are not eligible if your regular annual pay from the LEA is over $62,400 after subtracting pay from the prior summer recess. Summer recess means June, July, and August when regular classes are not held; limited work in those months that is not a summer session still counts toward the income test. For 2020–21, 2021–22, and 2022–23, LEAs must ignore extra hours caused by COVID-related school-year extensions if those hours were beyond your regular assignment.
Program terms and when it applies
The law defines which entities count as local educational agencies (school districts, county offices of education, and certain joint powers authorities). For this program, a month equals 20 days or four weeks of five days, including legal holidays, and a regular assignment means work during the school year, not summer recess. This bill’s version of the section becomes the operative text only if it and AB 147 or SB 147 are enacted and effective by January 1, 2026, and this bill is enacted last among them.
