The WRS is a hybrid defined benefit plan containing elements of both a 401(k) or defined contribution plan and a defined benefit plan. This public pension plan is nearly 100% funded due to fiscal discipline, unique plan design and robust governance. This benefit is an automatic employee and employer contribution into a retirement savings account where it can accrue interest until withdrawn. There are withdrawal stipulations if the retiree is not yet at the required WRS age. More information can be found on the ETF website <a href=\"http:\/\/etf.wi.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(www.etf.wi.gov)<\/a> or through Human Resources.<\/p>\n<p>The WRS continues to be one of the best-funded public employee retirement systems in the country. The financial strength of the WRS is attributable to its unique plan design, funding discipline, strong governance, and the effective investment strategies of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdl.wi.gov\/hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/ETF-handbook-2025.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\">Your Benefit Handbook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdl.wi.gov\/hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/08\/Voluntary-WRS-Election-Form-5.2017.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Voluntary WRS Election Form<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Mission Square 457, IRA, &amp; RHS Plans<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mission Square is a non-profit independent financial services corporation that focuses on providing retirement plans for close to a million public sector participant accounts and approximately 9,000 retirement plans.
