Systems Overview

The Public School and Education Employee Retirement Systems of Missouri (PSRS/PEERS) provide reliable, long-term financial security for Missouri’s public school teachers, school employees, and their families. We offer retirement, disability, and survivor benefits through Defined Benefit (DB) pension plans, which guarantee lifetime monthly benefits based on a formula set by Missouri law.
