Missouri school employees in PEERS, the Public Education Employee Retirement System for non-certificated staff, need statements from their treating physicians to apply for disability retirement. Each statement covers the diagnosis, work restrictions and whether the member is permanently incapacitated for any occupation, and the physician sends it straight to PEERS with supporting medical records.
Each of the member's treating physicians completes the whole statement and signs it. The member completes the PEERS Disability Retirement Application Packet and the Authorization for Release of Medical Records.

PEERS Attending Physician Statement
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

The physician does. Each treating physician completes the statement and sends it directly to PEERS with the member's supporting medical records. The member's own forms, including the disability retirement application and the records authorization, go in separately as part of the application packet.
They are separate forms for the two systems that PSRS/PEERS administers together. PEERS covers the Public Education Employee Retirement System for non-certificated staff, and PSRS covers the Public School Retirement System. Use the form that matches the member's system.
