My Insurance Benefits: Questions & Answers

ETF has offered employer training in preparation for the launch of My Insurance Benefits. This document contains responses to the questions from the employer training sessions.

Statement of Incapacity

Some financial power of attorney documents require that the principal is incapacitated before the agent can act on their behalf.

Guardianship

A guardian is appointed by a court when a person is unable to make or communicate medical decisions, financial decisions, or both. Learn how Letters of Guardianship can impact a WRS account.

Special Local Employer Update: My Insurance Benefits Premium Rate Display Change

While there are many new features and capabilities that this system will offer when it goes live, we have identified one feature that will not be available for local employers at that time. Specifically, the premium rate display, with a contribution breakout showing the member and employer shares, will not be visible to your employees.

What a Guardian Can Do

Each time a guardian makes a request on behalf of a member, ETF will review the Letters of Guardianship of the Estate. The request will be approved or denied based on the authority granted in the letters.

What Your Agent Can Do

Your financial power of attorney document determines the scope of your agent's authority. You may give your agent the ability to make many changes to your WRS account or limit them to a few actions.
