MOSERS' HR Update
Human Resource Information from the Missouri State Employees' Retirement System

January 17, 2007
Volume 2, No. 35

New Policy for Dependents Over Age 23
Effective immediately, MOSERS will terminate members' dependent child coverage at the end of the month in which their youngest child turns 23. We will notify the member that their coverage has been terminated and that they must contact us if they have a younger child at home so we can update our records. We will also send you a notification to terminate the dependent child deductions.

In the past, MOSERS sent letters to members with dependent child coverage when their youngest child reached age 23. These members were notified each and every month thereafter that their child was no longer eligible for benefits. We asked these members to complete an optional life change form in order to terminate their coverage and to notify you to stop the deductions. Unfortunately, many members never responded to these letters.

For further information about dependent child coverage, see our Life Insurance Handbook or call JoAnn Looten at 573-632-6180.

New Refund Policy Effective January 1, 2007
In an effort to reduce some of life’s red tape, MOSERS will no longer require employers to complete a Refund Request Form for refunds greater than $3.00. Refunds will be generated automatically after deductions have been corrected. A Refund Request Form will still be required for refunds less than $3.00. If you have any questions about this new procedure, please call JoAnn Looten at 573-632-6180.
