WRS retirement benefits are calculated using two methods: the formula method, and the money purchase method. ETF calculates your benefit using both methods and automatically pays you the higher amount. See how each method is calculated and resources for estimating your benefit.
The Statement of Benefits is a summary of your WRS retirement account, available each year in mid-April. Find out why you should keep this statement handy, how to make corrections and how to request a duplicate.
