Cal. Gov. Code § 75085
The Extended Service Incentive Program is hereby created to provide an incentive to judges who are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit to remain in public service. The program is intended to address the growing problem of judges retiring when they are first eligible to do so. The people of California are continuing to lose vital judicial resources and experience when long-serving judges leave public service. The Extended Service Incentive Program shall provide certain judges who retire with more than 23 years of creditable service with a lump sum payment in addition to their normal monthly retirement allowance. It is intended that the program shall operate at no cost to the state, due to the anticipated delayed retirement of the participating judges.
