The Wisconsin Public Employers Group Life Insurance Program is a benefit provided under the WRS and is available to employees of the State of Wisconsin and employees of participating Wisconsin local government employers.
Local government employers may choose to pay for continued life insurance coverage for their employees in retirement. To do so, local employers must submit the Local Employer Paid Life Insurance Coverage (ET-1660) form.
The Group Insurance Board has approved the Wisconsin Public Employer Group Life Insurance premium rates for local employees. Claims experience has been stable, resulting in no change to local employee premium rates for 2023.
The Basic group life insurance plan became available to state employees in 1958 and to local government employees in 1960. Spouse & Dependent, Supplemental and Additional coverage is also available.
