This document, “Long-Term Care Insurance Standards,” serves as a resource for insurers interested in offering state employees and retirees long-term care insurance (LTCI).
LTDI is a disability insurance benefit under the WRS that is meant to provide an income to members who have become totally and permanently disabled. This program was closed to new claims January 1, 2018.
When you make voluntary regular (after-tax) additional contributions to your WRS account, you must use this worksheet to calculate the maximum amount of voluntary contributions that you can make to the WRS.
You and/or your insured dependents must be enrolled for both portions of Medicare (Hospital Part A and Medical Part B), when first eligible. Provide this information to ETF using this form.
If you retired due to a disability, you may be eligible for Medicare benefits. Medicare eligibility related to disability is available to persons who have received Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months, who have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS).
The following information is for employees who will retire in the next three months and will be transitioning into Medicare under the State or the Wisconsin Public Employers Group Health Insurance Programs.
If your WRS account with ETF is eligible for a monthly annuity payment, the following is important information to consider before you apply for your benefit.
