Benefit Presentations Set for September - November, 2004

The Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) and other sponsors will offer 16 free public presentations in September, October, and November for Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) participants. Those considering or planning retirement in the near future are encouraged to attend. The workshops are valuable opportunities for members, spouses and other individuals seeking general information on retirement issues and other WRS benefit programs.

Topics covered during the presentations include calculating retirement benefits, annuity options, separation benefits, taxes, survivor benefits, and health and life insurance benefits. Questions about when to retire and how to determine actual benefits will also be discussed. Each session is free and runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. All locations are handicapped accessible with adequate free parking.

Attached to this Bulletin is a list of presentation dates and locations. No reservations are needed except for the ITV presentations identified in the presentation schedule.
