Provided you did not close your WRS account by taking a separation benefit, your beneficiaries may be entitled to a benefit after your death. Understand how and what benefits are paid upon your death.
Your WRS account information is confidential, and no one can receive information about or make changes to your account unless authorized. You can authorize another person to make changes to your account by submitting a financial power of attorney document to ETF.
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.
If you retired due to a disability, you may be eligible for Medicare benefits. Medicare eligibility related to disability is available to persons who have received Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months, who have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS).
