You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''California State University Emeritus and Retired Faculty & Staff Association''', also known as CSU-ERSFA, is a statewide, nonprofit organization of emeritus and retired faculty and staff members from all 23 campuses of the [[California State University]] system.  The primary mission of CSU-ERFSA is the protection of pension and health care benefits for both active and retired California State University faculty and staff members.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.calfac.org/item/alert-csu-retirees-participating-csu-tax-sheltered-annuity-tsa-403b-program|title=ALERT to CSU Retirees Participating in the CSU Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA) 403(b) Program|website=Calfac.org))</ref>  CSU-ERFSA represents the interests of its members before the [[California State Legislature]], various state and federal agencies, [[CalPERS]], and the California State University Chancellor's Office.  CSU-ERFSA also provides assistance to members, who may be experiencing difficulties with their individual pension or health care benefits.

==History==
The association was formed in 1985 as the California State University Emeritus and Retired Faculty Association (CSU-ERFA) in response to threats and attempts to reduce or eliminate CSU retirees rights, privileges and benefits and to support the activities of retired faculty as continuing members of the academic community. In 2018 members of CSU-ERFA voted to amend the organization's constitution to expand membership eligibility to ''all'' retirees from the California State University System, and to change the name of the organization to reflect the expanded membership eligibility. Currently, CSU-ERFSA has approximately 2,500 members, 300 of whom live outside California.  In addition to its efforts to protect retiree benefits, the association provides support to emeritus and retired faculty and staff associations at the individual state university campuses.  At present retired faculty associations at 18 of the 23 campuses maintain a formal affiliation with CSU-ERFSA.  However, membership in an affiliate is not a condition for membership in the statewide organization.

In 1989 CSU-ERFSA (then CSU-ERFA) successfully convinced the CSU Board of Trustees to adopt the resolution (RFSR 06-89-03) which established that "the .... emeritus faculty shall be deemed to be continuing members of the academic community" and shall have privileges "on the same basis as they are enjoyed by the general faculty.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.aaup.org/article/merits-emeriti#.XG9K1Lh7mUk|title=The Merits of Emeriti|website=Aaup.org|date=2 May 2012))</ref>" In conjunction with other California public employee organizations, CSU-ERFSA helped to secure the passage of [https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_162,_the_%22Pension_Protection_Act%22_(1992) Proposition 162, The California Pension Protection Act of 1992], that provides protection against the use of pension funds for general budget purposes.

CSU-ERFSA was instrumental in working with the Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) to establish the [https://www.calperslongtermcare.com/ CalPERS Long-Term Care Insurance Program].  Several features of the program including its flexibility, consumer protection standards, and the California Partnership option were influenced by CSU-ERFSA.

CSU-ERFSA successfully supported federal and state legislation that eliminated the [https://www.congress.gov/104/plaws/publ95/PLAW-104publ95.pdf source tax for retirees] who live in a different state than that which provides their pension income.  Because of these laws, the pension income of CSU retirees who live outside California is subject only to the state income tax of their state of residence.

==Activities==
The large majority of CSU-ERFSA members receive retirement and health care benefits from the California Public Employees Retirement System ([[CalPERS]]).  A small number of older retirees receive their retirement benefits from the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS). CSU-ERFSA provides assistance to its members who experience problems with their pension and health-care benefits.

CSU-ERFSA makes available [https://www.csuerfsa.org/index.php/retirement-planning retirement planning advice] for active California State University faculty members. In addition, CSU-ERFSA operates [https://www.csuerfsa.org/index.php/csu-erfsa-grant-awards-program a grants program] that supports the research, scholarly, and creative activities of its members. Funding for this program is provided from the [https://www.csuerfsa.org/index.php/our-charitable-foundation CSU-ERFA Charitable Foundation], which is a separate organization that holds U.S. Internal Revenue System 501(c)3 status.<ref>((Cite web |url=https://www.guidestar.org/profile/30-0109115 |title=CSU-ERFA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION - GuideStar Profile |access-date=2019-02-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190222151941/https://www.guidestar.org/profile/30-0109115 |archive-date=2019-02-22 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

CSU-ERFSA maintains liaison with the [http://www.calstate.edu/AcadSen/index.shtml CSU Academic Senate], the [http://www.calfac.org California Faculty Association (CFA)], the [[California State Employees Association]] (CSEA), the California State Coalition of Retired Employees (SCORE), and the Retired Public Employees Association of California (RPEA).

CSU-ERFSA publishes a quarterly [https://www.csuerfsa.org/index.php/the-csu-erfsa-reporter newsletter, The Reporter], for its members, which also is available to the public through the [https://csuerfsa.org CSU-ERFSA website].
