The Pensioner: In the Moment
Welcome to the digital MPERS newsletter! The Pensioner: In the Moment contains news, updates, and important information for retirees of the Missouri Department of Transportation, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and MPERS.
That's A Wrap!
The 2024 legislative session concluded on May 13th, 2024.

During this session, several bills were introduced that were pension-related; however, none were passed. There were no bills specific to MPERS.
Missouri State Health Insurance Assistance Program (MO SHIP), formerly known as CLAIM, is certified by the state and local government to provide free, unbiased, and confidential Medicare services.

If you have general questions about Medicare, MO SHIP is an excellent source of information.

PLEASE REMEMBER: MPERS does not administer health insurance benefits.

If you have the the Medicare Advantage Plan offered by MoDOT and have questions, please contact Employee Benefits staff directly as this plan is only available to retirees of MoDOT, the Patrol, and MPERS. It is NOT available to the general public.
