What do employers need to do when an employee terminates employment? What do employers do about the WRS, health insurance, life insurance, and other benefits?
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.
Many insurance companies and brokers offer benefits like health, disability, dental, or other insurances. As a WPE, please be aware of the benefits available to you through ETF to avoid any confusion or misinformation provided by these companies.
The Wisconsin Public Employers Group Life Insurance program provides continuation of your group life insurance after retirement if you meet the eligibility requirements.
Local government employers may choose to pay for continued life insurance coverage for their employees in retirement. To do so, local employers must submit the Local Employer Paid Life Insurance Coverage (ET-1660) form.
