Employer certification that a WRS annuity or lump-sum payment made to the survivor of the member named in this form may be eligible for an income tax exemption.
ETF has updated the Local Employer Verification of Health Insurance Coverage (ET-4814) form. This update means that local employers will no longer collect the forms from employees and survivors that want to continue health insurance coverage after the employee retires or dies. Coverage now continues automatically, and employees and survivors only need to complete the form to cancel coverage.
Employers should always protect member personal identifiable information. What counts as personal member information? How can employers protect sensitive data? ETF has published a new training video that helps answer these questions.
ETF is conducting online WRS employer training sessions for employers. This training is beneficial for both employers new to WRS administration and more experienced WRS employers who would like a refresher.
