WRS Annual Statement of Benefits coming soon

Team members will see their Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) annual statements of benefits for 2023 by mid to late April. The annual statement of benefits from the Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) is a summary of a team member’s year-end retirement account information, including the effective rate of interest applied to the account. The statement includes your calendar-year earnings, retirement benefit projections, primary beneficiary designation(s) for your WRS account, and more. To view last year’s statement of benefits for 2022, you can go to MyUW and launch the Benefit Information module. Then click on the tab for “ETF WRS Statements of Benefits” and go to the 2022 Statement Issued 2023.
