The Wisconsin Public Employers Group Life Insurance Program is a benefit provided under the WRS and is available to employees of the State of Wisconsin and employees of participating Wisconsin local government employers.
If you leave employment with the WRS before reaching minimum retirement age, you may keep your money with the WRS or take a separation benefit. Learn about the key things to consider before taking a separation benefit.
Section 40.05 (4g), Wis. Stat., provides additional months of state contribution toward health insurance premiums for certain military service personnel who receive a military leave of absence or are eligible for reemployment under Wis. Stat. § 321.64.

LAHP is a program that provides group health insurance for retirees whose group health insurance with their former employer does not meet their needs or is not permanently available after retirement.
Under certain circumstances, reciprocity may increase the retirement benefits payable to you if you worked for one or more participating public retirement systems.
Notice for members where all or a portion of a payment from the WRS is eligible to be rolled over to an individual retirement account (IRA) or an employer plan.
If you are an employee of the state, UW Hospitals and Clinics, or the Universities of Wisconsin (including Craft Workers), you may be eligible to receive up to $2,000 from your employer if you opt out of health insurance coverage under the State of Wisconsin Group Health Insurance Program.
