You should request your retirement estimate approximately six to 12 months before you retire. Once you receive your estimate, it will include a retirement application to be used when applying for the actual benefit. WRS can accept your retirement application up to 90 days before the date you terminate employment. Any other questions regarding your retirement benefit should be directed to Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds at 1-877-533-5020.
