Can you pull your money from calpers prior to retirement?

Generally, you cannot withdraw your contributions from CalPERS (California Public Employees' Retirement System) prior to retirement. However, if you leave your job and are not eligible for a benefit, you may withdraw your contributions, but this would forfeit your future retirement benefits. It's important to review specific eligibility criteria and options, as they can vary based on your employment status and the type of CalPERS membership you have. Always consult with CalPERS or a financial advisor for personalized guidance.
