Retirees

After a career of serving others, know LAGERS is now here to serve you! Your hard-earned benefit is something to be proud of, and you can count on us to continue deliver your benefit each and every month throughout your retirement.  On this page, you will find more information about your secure retirement benefit.

LAGERS’ retirees fuel Missouri’s economy! As a retiree, the monthly benefit that you earned over your career in public service isn’t stuffed under a mattress – it’s spent right back into the local economy!

This steady retiree spending supports local business every day.  And because your benefit is based on how long you worked, not swings in the markets, you – and the businesses you patronize- can continue to count on your predictable benefit year after year!
