To Whom It May Concern,
The Public School Retirement System of Missouri (PSRS) provides valuable protection to your
beneficiaries if your death occurs prior to retirement.
This form establishes your beneficiary designation with PSRS prior to your retirement. It must be
properly completed and on file with PSRS in order to be effective.
Please read the brochure, Protecting Those You Care About, before completing this form. This brochure
provides information to assist you in making an informed decision with regard to your beneficiaries, such
as survivor benefits, naming joint or multiple beneficiaries, and how your beneficiaries are determined by
Missouri law when your designation is voided due to a change in life status (marriage, divorce, birth or
adoption of a child).
You may name as your beneficiary: 1.) an individual, 2.) a legal entity such as a church, school or
organization, 3.) your estate, or 4.) a legally established trust. If the space provided here is not sufficient
for your desired designations, you may include a dated attachment, which bears your original signature.
Be proactive in updating your beneficiary designation and provide complete information to help ensure
any benefit payable at your death is distributed in accordance with your wishes. PSRS will acknowledge
receipt of this form. You may also view your beneficiary designation on the PSRS website,
www.psrs-peers.org.
If you have questions about designating beneficiaries or how to complete this form, we recommend
speaking with a PSRS representative by calling (800) 392-6848.
Sincerely,
Jana Taylor
