Question:  What is the history of rehired annuitants from 1982 to 1989?

Answer:

1/1/82 - 6/30/89 for teachers

1/1/82 - 12/31/89 for non-teachers

• Rehired annuitants were immediately enrolled in WRS when they returned to work if they met the WRS eligibility criteria.
  
  
• Employers were required to monitor earning limits (CY for non-teachers and FY for teachers).
  
  
• Once earning limits were exceeded, annuities were stopped and the account was re-established with the service, earnings and contributions as though the employee had never taken a benefit.
  
  
• Rehired disability annuitants were immediately enrolled in WRS when they returned to work and met the eligibility criteria.
  
  
• Employers were required to monitor earning limits, which was a set amount determined each year specially for disability annuitants.
  
  
• When they exceeded their earnings limit, their disability annuity was suspended for the duration of the calendar year. The disability annuity resumed again in January.
  
  
• If the disability was terminated because the participant was no longer considered disabled, then the account was reestablished with the service, earnings and contributions as though they had never taken a benefit.
