Why Work for a LAGERS Employer
For over 50 years, LAGERS has partnered with Local Government Employers across Missouri to provide superior retirement, survivor, and disability benefits to the men and women serving on the front lines of our local communities.
Secure Your Financial Future
Not all retirement plans are created equal. LAGERS members enjoy the peace of mind in knowing each month they serve their community, they are working toward a secure financial future. Whether you plan to work a full career in public service, or this is one of many stops on your career journey, LAGERS can make a meaningful difference in your financial future. With LAGERS, you receive:
Guaranteed lifetime income
Protection from market downturns
Disability and survivor benefits
How does it work?
LAGERS benefits are not based on an account balance that you have to individually invest. Each month you work for a LAGERS employer, you earn one month of service credit. The more credits you earn, the more your future benefit grows. At retirement, you will receive a guaranteed monthly paycheck for the rest of your life! Over a lifetime in retirement, this benefit can really add up, meaning less you have to save out of your own pocket today.
**Actual earned benefit will depend upon a member’s individual service, final average salary, and benefit elections at their employer.
Protect the Ones You Love
From your first day on the job, you have financial protection should something unexpected happen. Every LAGERS member is protected by disability and survivor benefits that ensure you and your loved ones are financially secure today and in the future. These benefits are EMPLOYER PAID and can provide lifetime income should you become permanently disabled or pass away prior to retirement.
