Baxter v. Cal. State Teachers’ Retirement
In the underlying administrative mandamus proceeding, eleven retired teachers (Teachers) contested attempts by California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) to recoup retirement benefit overpayments that had resulted from a years-long miscalculation of Teachers’ monthly benefits. Teachers prevailed below in contending that the statute of limitations barred CalSTRS’s efforts to recoup prior overpayments and to adjust downward all future monthly benefits, and judgment was entered in Teachers’ favor on June 3, 2015 (Judgment). CalSTRS appealed the Judgment. In that appeal, this court, on December 12, 2017, filed its opinion reversing the Judgment and remanding the case for further proceedings. (See Baxter v. State Teachers’ Retirement System (2017) 18 Cal.App.5th 340 (Baxter I).)
