ETF has started distributing the WRS Annual Statement of Benefits to members. The statement is a non-retired members' once-a-year summary of their retirement account information.
SWIB's investment management of the WRS generated more than $3.1 billion of net outperformance over the last five years. In 2023, SWIB beat its one-, five-, and ten-year benchmarks for the Core Trust Fund.
A benefit may be paid during your lifetime or upon your death. You or your beneficiary must make sure to follow the correct steps to receive your benefit.
The annual open enrollment period starts Sept. 30 and ends Oct. 20, 2024. Learn more about what’s new for 2025, and attend an online Insurance Benefits Forum.
ETF wants to know about your preferences for paying for health insurance. Please complete the Group Health Insurance Program Plan Design Survey for Members by Monday, December 1, 2025.
The WDC is an optional, supplemental retirement savings plan for all working state and university employees. Local government and school district employees may also use the WDC if their employers offer it.

Living Benefits are the proceeds of your life insurance coverage under the Wisconsin Public Employers Group Life Insurance program that are paid to you while you are still living rather than to your beneficiaries after your death.
