Additional Contributions May Boost Your WRS Retirement Benefit
Keeping in mind that your Wisconsin Retirement
System (WRS) annuity is one component of your retirement portfolio,
do you think you will have enough money to meet your retirement
needs?
It’s never too early or too late to financially
prepare for retirement. Active WRS employees can consider making
additional contributions to boost retirement savings.
- Any employee can make
regular (after-tax) additional contributions.
- Your contributions
are invested in the WRS trust funds and earn the effective rate
of interest each year.
- No fees are charged
for managing these contributions.
The Wisconsin
Deferred Compensation Program and purchasing
service are other options to enhance retirement savings available
to some active employees. In addition, talk with your own financial
advisor for personal investment advice and/or guidance.
