75 & Out Rumor

Oct 16, 2023, 00:00 AM by MOSERS
Hello. I've been hearing rumor that retirement might be changing from 80 and out to 75 and out. Is this true? If so, where do I find out more information about it? Thanks for your help.
No, we are not aware of any legislative proposals related to a “75 and out” retirement. MOSERS administers retirement benefits, but we do not have the authority to change plan provisions. Any change to the Rule of 80/”80 & Out” (or any other state employee pension provisions) would require a change in the law. Anytime the Missouri General Assembly is in session, you can follow any bills affecting MOSERS on our Legislation page.
