Provided you did not close your WRS account by taking a separation benefit, your beneficiaries may be entitled to a benefit after your death. Understand how and what benefits are paid upon your death.
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.
This WRS Retirement Benefits Calculator is a tool that can give you an unofficial estimate of your benefit as you plan for retirement. Contact ETF for your official estimate and application 6-12 months before you plan to apply for benefits.
Each year, recipients of disability benefits must complete and submit form(s) to ensure that their benefits continue without interruption. It is crucial that all required forms are submitted timely to prevent suspension of the benefit.
