LAGERS is not just focused on providing secure retirement income for today's retirees, but we are committed to working with our partners to protect secure, sustainable retirement in Missouri for generations to come.
Effective July 21, 2024, Missouri LAGERS has implemented enhanced security measures for the myLAGERS Member Web Portal. To access your account for the first time on or after July 21, 2024, you will be required to re-enroll as a first-time user.
Our members work tirelessly to make every Missouri community a great place to live. LAGERS is dedicated to delivering peace of mind to our public servants by providing protected retirement, disability and survivor benefits.
You can apply for your LAGERS retirement benefit 30-90 days prior to when you want to receive your first payment. There are many different options for your benefit that may pay you and beneficiaries. Your benefit is taxable, but you may qualify for some exemptions or deductions.
LAGERS is a defined benefit public pension plan so all retirement benefits are calculated using a formula, not an account balance. You are guaranteed to receive your entire account balance either through refund, lump sum, or monthly retirement benefit upon separation from LAGERS covered employment.
For over 50 years, Missouri LAGERS has helped lower and middle class workers transition into lower and middle class retirees. Dependable monthly income is essential for people to exit the workforce with dignity and helps them maintain their standard of living throughout retirement.
Missouri state law provides for a post retirement adjustment for LAGERS retirees. The following criteria apply to the LAGERS post retirement adjustment: • May not exceed a 4% increase in any given year • Based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) • LAGERS Board meets annually to determine the post retirement adjustment
