All of the CalStrs plans are qualified plans and the members
are subject to early withdrawal rules.

Default Tax on Early Plan Distributions

Normally distributions from an IRA or qualified retirement
plan are subject to a 10% penalty tax unless an exception
applies. But I seem to recall that governmental plans
aren't "qualified plans" - that is, they're not subject to
IRS approval or scrutiny.

So suppose a taxpayer received a separation payout from the
California Teachers' Retirement System. None of the
exceptions in the Form 5329 instructions apply. Is this
distribution subject to the 10% penalty?
