This application is intended for insured employees who are terminating Wisconsin Retirement System employment, who may qualify to continue life insurance coverage, and who will not begin a WRS retirement benefit immediately.
File a copy of this form with each of your former retirement systems each time you become covered under a new retirement system, for limited reciprocity between the three public employee retirement systems in Wisconsin.
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).
