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.
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.

Please encourage members with ICI Program coverage who have become disabled to file an ICI claim as soon as possible after their last day worked. The effective date of an ICI benefit can be no earlier than 90 days before the claim is filed. If the member waits to file a claim, they may miss out on benefits.
