§ 20934 Prior Service Credit Rules

• •If you worked for a company that had a contract with the state before, that time counts toward your state job benefits.
• •This rule started on January 1, 1977, and only works for people who were state workers on or after that date.
• •Even if other rules say something different, this one still applies.

John worked for a private company that did work for the state for 2 years. Later, he got a job directly with the state.

The 2 years John worked at the private company will count toward his state job benefits because the company had a contract with the state.
