The WRS Retirement Benefit is a pension plan that is intended to provide you with a lifetime retirement payment. It offers a retirement benefit based on a defined contribution plan or a defined benefit plan.
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.
Apply for a separation benefit. A separation benefit is a one-time, lump-sum payment consisting only of employee contributions, additional contributions (if applicable), and accumulated interest.
