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.
If you retired due to a disability, you may be eligible for Medicare benefits. Medicare eligibility related to disability is available to persons who have received Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months, who have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS).
