Some states have additional plans, like NY state disability etc, where you have to pay into it but get whatever benefit it offers. But MN and CA et al are mandating that those bases get to use the same collectively negotiated benefit in excess of everyone else who paid equally to negotiate it in the first place. Good for one, good for all.
