Deciding to retire may be the hardest part of the entire process. ETF can help you master the next steps so that you make decisions that are right for you. Learn more about the 12-month process (in picture) by watching the Applying for Retirement video series.

If you decide to end WRS employment due to a disability, contact ETF about your eligibility for disability benefits before applying for a retirement benefit. Taking a retirement benefit may affect your eligibility for disability benefits. See the Disability Benefits page for more information.
