Bill(s)

2017 Act 362 makes the following remedial changes recommended by ETF. The changes clarify current law or codify current practice. These technical changes may require minor modifications to procedures and forms for members and employers but do not make substantive changes.

  • Clarifies the current waiting period is 180 calendar days for the employer's share of income continuation insurance premiums for certain teachers employed by the University of Wisconsin System.
  • Clarifies 2011 Act 32 changes to eligibility rules for Wisconsin Retirement System participating employees.
  • Clarifies that protective occupation employees who have attained age 50 and who are part-time elected officials may choose to waive WRS participation.
  • Eliminates from statutes a requirement under the WRS that a retirement application that specifies an annuity date later than 60 days after receipt by ETF will not be accepted, unless the member is at an age where a required minimum distribution is due.
  • Eliminates from statutes the requirement that a form to cancel life insurance takes effect at the end of the calendar month that begins after the form is received from an insured employee.
