Key FAQs About Sutter Health Pension and Retirement Plans
Essential questions about financial clarity and planning.
General FAQs
How long do you have to work to get a Sutter pension?
For many Sutter employees, pension benefits typically vest after five years of service, meaning you must work at least five years to earn a non-forfeitable right to a future pension benefit. However, the exact vesting schedule and benefit formula can vary by union agreement, job classification, and hire date, so it’s important to review your specific Kaiser retirement plan documents or confirm details as part of a personalized retirement plan.
What is the benefit plan of a pension?
A Sutter pension benefit plan is a defined benefit retirement plan that provides eligible employees with a predictable, lifetime monthly income in retirement. The benefit is calculated using a formula that typically considers years of service, compensation, and plan provisions tied to your role or union agreement, rather than investment market performance, helping create stable retirement income when integrated with Social Security and personal savings.
Pricing & Contracts
How much money should I have to work with a Sutter pension advisor?
This depends on your goals and overall financial situation. Some people become clients because they know that in the future their financial situation will become more complex via a pension offering, while others have saved well and are ready to have their money work harder for them right now.
How does ProsperPlan charge for Sutter pension planning services?
We are a fee-only, fiduciary financial advisor, which means we charge a small percentage of the assets we manage, though that fee covers not just investment management, but holistic financial planning, including tax and estate planning, retirement planning, and other comprehensive guidance to secure and enhance your wealth

What Clients Say About Us
We have been with Lauren and her team for 10 years. Lauren has helped guide us in our FIRE/financial planning that allowed us to retire in our early 50’s from Kaiser Permanente. She went above and beyond by managing our KP index funds while we were still employed and assisted us in transferring our assets to Prosper Plan after we retired. This enabled us to diversify and maximize our gains. Lauren has also been instrumental in helping with our relocation planning now that we’re retired. We have given Lauren’s contact information to so many of our friends because we trust her with our financial lives.
