Consider this webinar your quick reference guide to starting the retirement process within the next 12 months.

We’ll also cover how to schedule a retirement appointment and – drum roll here — how to submit the retirement application.
Additional Contributions
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/7275365489430033666

Choosing When to Retire
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/2991479070862002947
This webinar will focus primarily on choosing your optimal termination and WRS benefit effective dates. The focus will include not only the “December versus January” decision, but also how retirement timing at any point during the year can affect your retirement annuity amount and other employee retirement benefits as well.
How to Use ETF’s Online Retirement Calculator
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/4105621899758973185
ETF’s online retirement calculator, one of the most-used tools on our website, allows you to calculate an unofficial projection of your WRS retirement benefit at any point in the future. This webinar will cover where to find and how to use the calculator, specific information required for data entry (e.g., desired retirement date, spouse or partner’s birthdate, etc.) and how to interpret the results. There will be time at the end of the webinar to ask specific questions on this topic.
Preparing for Your Retirement
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/7855498608381434113
Who should attend? Employees who are planning to retire in the next 1 – 10 years.

You will learn about the impact of contributions and investment returns on your account, when you can retire, your WRS annuity options, returning to work after you retire, what happens to your account when you die, health and life insurance, and more.
Questions are welcome during and after the event!
Retirement Annuity Options
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/5945279676239897346
Choosing a WRS annuity option is one of the most important decisions you will face.

We will also explain the important differences between a beneficiary and a named survivor.
Variable Fund
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/2212152925566071297
In this webinar we will discuss the Variable Fund – what it is, how it differs from the Core Fund, and the effect participation in this fund may have on your retirement benefit calculations. We will also discuss how to elect to participate in the Variable Fund, how to cancel Variable participation, and the impact the timing of these decisions may have on your Wisconsin Retirement System benefits.
