The Wisconsin Deferred Compensation Program (WDC) is a supplemental retirement savings program authorized under Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
The program offers term life insurance coverage up to 5 times your yearly pay for State of Wisconsin employees and local government employees whose employer offers the plan. An employee may also insure their spouse and dependent children.
Provided you did not close your WRS account by taking a separation benefit, your beneficiaries may be entitled to a benefit after your death. Understand how and what benefits are paid upon your death.
