The General Assembly appropriated more than $817 million to the Office of Administration in House Bill 5 to pay the required employer contribution payments to MOSERS in State Fiscal Year 2026 to fund the MSEP, the Judicial Plan, life insurance premiums, and long-term disability premiums.

This appropriation funds the Board-certified employer contribution rate and will be paid to MOSERS based on actual payroll. The bill also appropriated $34.5 million to fully fund the deferred compensation employer match of up to $75 per month (with a minimum contribution of $25 per month).
