When filing claims with ETF’s ICI administrator, The Hartford, employees should advise The Hartford that their employer is the State of Wisconsin—not their actual employer (such as City of ABC or State Agency XYZ).
Please note a few reminders for employers: check that you are using the most current form revision, watch for ETF Update meeting invites, and read about changes coming to the ICI Program in 2024.
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 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.
