ETF has published a new recorded webinar for local employers focused on the ICI Program. This webinar will answer common employer questions, such as what is ICI? What are the eligibility requirements? What about premiums? The video explores the following ICI topics:
Please encourage members with ICI Program coverage who have become disabled to file an ICI claim as soon as possible after their last day worked. The effective date of an ICI benefit can be no earlier than 90 days before the claim is filed. If the member waits to file a claim, they may miss out on benefits.
When filing claims with ETF’s ICI administrator, The Hartford, employees should advise The Hartford that their employer is the State of Wisconsin—not their actual employer (such as City of ABC or State Agency XYZ).
Many insurance companies and brokers offer benefits like health, disability, dental, or other insurances. As a WPE, please be aware of the benefits available to you through ETF to avoid any confusion or misinformation provided by these companies.
If you become disabled while working for a WRS employer, you may be eligible to receive WRS disability benefits that will give you income for the time you are unable to return to work.
