§ 20830 State Retirement Fund Payments

• •The state must keep paying money into the retirement fund for workers.
• •These payments are a must-do for the state, like paying a bill on time.
• •The state can't stop or skip these payments, even if money is tight.

Imagine the state promises to pay money every month into a big savings account for teachers when they retire.

The state has to keep putting that money in, no matter what. If they try to stop, it’s like breaking a promise, and they can get in trouble.
