The WRS Retirement Benefit is a pension plan that is intended to provide you with a lifetime retirement payment. It offers a retirement benefit based on a defined contribution plan or a defined benefit plan.
Some annuitants pursue employment after retirement. Due to legislative changes, the rules regarding returning to work for a WRS employer differ, depending upon your WRS-termination date.
Notice for members where all or a portion of a payment from the WRS is eligible to be rolled over to an individual retirement account (IRA) or an employer plan.
Have you recently had a baby? Gotten married? Divorced? Moved? Throughout the year you may experience life events that allow you to change your benefits outside of the annual open enrollment period. The life events guide explains deadlines, required documentation, and which events allow you to make changes.
