This brochure includes information for retirees about who may access your WRS account, payments, taxes and more.

Some annuitants pursue employment after retirement. Due to legislative changes, the rules regarding returning to work for a WRS employer differ, depending upon your WRS-termination date.

The results of the 3-year investigation of experience of the Wisconsin Retirement System are presented in this report.
