Pre-Retirement Seminars
Pre-Retirement Seminars are designed for LAGERS members within 5 years of retirement.
These free seminars give a full explanation of your benefit, payment options, retirement process, and more.
If you are uneasy about how your LAGERS benefit works, how much you will get from LAGERS or whether or not your spouse will receive any income after you pass away, you would greatly benefit by attending a Pre-Retirement Seminar. If you want to learn more about your options for working after drawing a benefit, cost of living adjustments, the value of your benefit or the taxation of your benefit, these topics and more are discussed in-depth at a LAGERS Pre-Retirement Seminar (PRS).
What’s The Agenda?
At a LAGERS Pre-Retirement Seminar we spend an hour explaining the inner workings of how your benefit is calculated, when you are eligible, disability & survivor benefits and ways to increase your LAGERS benefit. Then after a short break, we spend another hour discussing the application process, payment options, the taxation of your benefit, the cost of living adjustments and options for working after retirement. Finally, after another short break, a local Social Security representative gives an overview of the Social Security System and Medicare. Hopefully by the end of the seminar, you will feel more comfortable with your LAGERS benefit.
There is at least one seminar hosted in each region of Missouri every year. In some regions, we host more than one seminar.
