New MOSERS Board Rules on Separation of Service, Effective Jan 1, 2021

Jan 15, 2021, 11:41 AM by MOSERS

Before receiving a benefit payment from MOSERS, IRS rules require a “bona fide termination” of the member’s employment. For purposes of MOSERS Board Rules, a "bona fide termination" occurs when:  

  • Member’s employment has been completely severed
  • No prearranged agreement (written or oral) exists for reemployment (full, part-time or other); retiring members must certify on retirement application, under penalty of fraud, that no prearrangement for employment exists  
  • Retiree has not been reemployed by the State of Missouri or any MOSERS-covered employer (full, part-time or other) within 30 days after their prior employment ended
