Fiduciary Liability Insurance in Missouri

Missouri’s Show-Me MyRetirement Savings statute creates an optional program for eligible employers that employ no more than 50 employees; employer participation is voluntary under § 285.1015. Coverage review should identify which people make discretionary plan decisions and which staff perform the state payroll task; give the broker both roles. 1,2

What Is Fiduciary Liability?

Fiduciary liability can protect your company and plan fiduciaries when participants claim mishandling of an employee benefit plan. If you sponsor a retirement or health plan, check who is insured and whether both administration errors and fiduciary-breach claims are addressed. Read the national Fiduciary liability guide.

What to Watch for in Missouri

  • Optional state-facilitated program scope

    Use optional state-facilitated program scope as the state checkpoint. Keep the supporting eligibility record, employee authorization, exemption certification, or program notice with payroll reconciliation so the employer can trace how it applied the rule. 1

  • Name The Decision Makers

    For Missouri, optional state-facilitated program scope is a state payroll or program checkpoint. Assign an operational owner to track it, and separately identify the people who select investments, resolve eligibility disputes, or monitor the plan provider; those discretionary roles matter to the fiduciary application. 1,2

  • Set An Exception Review

    At renewal, sample Missouri payroll or program records against optional state-facilitated program scope. Record the reviewer, any missed authorization, enrollment, or remittance step, the correction date, and the plan fiduciary who reviewed the exception. 1

Who Regulates Insurance in Missouri

Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance

Missouri DCI licenses insurance producers and insurers, reviews property and casualty rates and forms, and investigates complaints against insurance companies and producers. 3,4,5,6

Surplus-lines tax and stamping office

Reported tax rate: 5% of premium; Missouri taxes the entire gross premium when Missouri is the home state When Missouri is the insured’s home state, the state applies its 5% surplus-lines tax to the entire gross premium of a multistate policy; the regulator’s FAQ says the tax includes applicable fees. Eligible nonadmitted insurers do not participate in the Missouri Guaranty Fund, and Missouri generally requires the full amount or kind of coverage to be unavailable from admitted insurers before placement; an exempt commercial purchaser search exception has separate disclosure and written-request conditions. 7,8,9,10

Providers With Documented State Licenses

These providers publish a national listing for Fiduciary liability; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Missouri. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.
