Once you stop working for a Wisconsin Retirement System employer, federal law requires you to begin receiving your benefit payment(s) by a certain date, depending on your age. This is called a required minimum distribution (RMD).
Non-retirees may now view, download, and print their 2025 WRS Annual Statement of Benefits online. This is in addition to receiving a mailed statement, which ETF has started distributing this month.
Wisconsin’s 2025-2027 biennial budget bill (2025 Act 15) provides ETF one-time funding of $71 million to support the replacement of the antiquated pension administration system.
ETF will, consistent with the state’s Public Records Law, provide information regarding ETF’s affairs, except for individual personal information restricted by statute.
