Fiscal Year 2021 MOSERS Member Profile

MOSERS is pleased to provide a Member Profile Report that presents a summary of our 2021 member data. This information is intended to give stakeholders a better understanding of average state employees working in or newly retired, from active service. Additionally, this report offers a side-by-side comparison of FY21 member data with data from FY19 and FY17. Service and salary data such as this is important because MOSERS uses the following three-part formula to calculate retirement benefits: FAP x Multiplier x Credited Service = Monthly Benefit.
