Saving with MO Deferred Comp

All Missouri state employees are immediately eligible to participate in deferred comp as there are no minimum service requirements to fulfill. If you were newly hired on or after July 1, 2012, you have been automatically enrolled¹ in the MO Deferred Comp Plan, unless you opted out, at a 1% savings rate per pay period. If you have never enrolled in deferred comp, you can do so by visiting www.modeferredcomp.org and clicking Create a User ID button at the top of the page OR by calling the Plan Information Line at (800) 392-0925.

Once enrolled in the plan, you can also use deferred comp's custom calculators to determine if you're on track to reach your savings goals or if you should be saving more.

• Use the Grow Your Retirement Savings Calculator to see how increasing your contribution will enhance your savings balance and income replacement potential in retirement.
• Use the personalized RetiremenTrack calculator to see possible retirement income replacement from your defined benefit pension and social security and the retirement income gap you can cover by adjusting your MO Deferred Comp retirement savings.

You can also directly access your account by logging on to Account Access via www.modeferredcomp.org. You may also access your account through the Missouri State Employees Self-Service (ESS) Portal or by calling (800) 392-0925.

¹Automatic enrollment excludes universities and previous temporary or seasonal non-benefit eligible employees. If you were newly hired on or after July 1, 2012 and left state employment on or after January 31, 2017, at rehire your contribution will be what was previously on file.
