Each time a guardian makes a request on behalf of a member, ETF will review the Letters of Guardianship of the Estate. The request will be approved or denied based on the authority granted in the letters.
Employers, use this form to verify that you viewed the employee’s original required document(s) to verify the employee or dependent(s) is eligible for benefit coverage, as administered by ETF.
A guardian is appointed by a court when a person is unable to make or communicate medical decisions, financial decisions, or both. Learn how Letters of Guardianship can impact a WRS account.
