Termination

When you terminate employment, you may be eligible to continue or convert your benefits. Notify your department benefits office of your termination so that you will be provided with the appropriate forms.

If you are retiring, other provisions apply.

For detailed information about plans, premiums and plan administrators, see Employee Information.

Benefit Plans

Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS)

If you terminate all WRS covered employment before your minimum retirement age (age 55, or age 50 for those with Protective category WRS service) or before you are vested* in the WRS, you may either leave your money in the WRS to accumulate interest, or you may take a separation benefit. If you take a separation benefit, you will lose the employer contributions and interest, and you will lose your creditable service earned prior to the separation benefit.

If you are vested and wait until age 55 (age 50 for those with Protective category WRS service) you will be entitled to a retirement benefit based on the total value (employee and employer contributions) of your WRS account.

*Employees first covered by the WRS on or after July 1, 2011 must have five years of WRS creditable service to be vested. Employees covered by the WRS prior to July 1, 2011 are immediately vested.

To request a Separation Benefit, contact ETF.

State Group Health Insurance (SGH)

Coverage ends at the end of the month in which your employment terminates.

You may continue coverage by submitting a Continuation-Conversion notice to ETF within 60 days of your insurance coverage end date or the receipt of the continuation form, whichever is later. The Continuation-Conversion notice will be mailed to your home address. You are responsible for the entire premium; there is no employer contribution.

• If you have less than 20 years of WRS creditable service, you may continue coverage for 18 months.
• If you have at least 20 years of WRS creditable service, you may continue coverage for life. You are eligible to have your accumulated sick leave credits certified to pay for health insurance premiums. If you have at least 15 years of adjusted continuous State service, you are also eligible for the Supplemental Health Insurance Conversion Credits.
  • If you are minimum retirement age when you terminate and choose not to apply for a WRS retirement benefit, you can access your sick leave credits to pay for health insurance premiums at any time. You must be covered by the State Group Health insurance plan at the time you terminate.
  • If you are under minimum retirement age, you are not eligible to access your sick leave credits until you apply for a WRS retirement benefit.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

If you are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan, you have an associated HSA. After you terminate employment, you may no longer contribute to your HSA. You may continue to use the funds to pay for qualified medical expenses.
