Please proceed with caution.....
Many University employees are receiving emails notifying them of the opportunity for a "Pension Review". HR advises to proceed with caution as this is coming from a 3rd party not affiliated with Employee Trust Funds (ETF) and the Wisconsin Retirement System.
Non-retired employees may schedule a benefits counseling appointment with an ETF Benefits Specialist. Before scheduling an appointment, you must have received a Retirement Benefit Estimates and Application (ET-4301). See the Applying for Retirement page for more information.
To schedule an appointment, please use the convenient appointment scheduling system. Choose from the following appointment types:
- Individual (one-on-one) conducted online
- Individual (one-on-one) conducted in-person at our offices in Madison
- Group (up to 12 participants) conducted online, available during the day and evening
- Group (up to 12 participants) conducted in-person, available statewide
- For a list of scheduled in-person group appointments by location, go to the Events page
The typical wait time for appointments is up to six weeks. Group online appointments can often be scheduled sooner.
In addition, HR Benefits Specialist, Jenn Wiesjahn, can provide general guidance on the overall retirement process including:
- Benefits at Retirement
- Retirement Timeline
- Sick Leave Conversion
