What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill corrects a reference to a date for the purposes of contributions to the Wisconsin Retirement System by county jailers who are first certified as protective occupation participants for purposes of the WRS on or after January 1, 2024, in a county that did not classify county jailers as protective occupation participants before that date.

Under current law, if an application for long-term disability benefits or an application for a disability annuity by a participant who is at least minimum retirement age under the WRS is denied, and the applicant applies for a regular annuity, the effective date of the annuity is set as the date on which the disability benefits or disability annuity would have been effective. Federal law prohibits a participant in a qualified retirement plan, such as the WRS, from having a benefit effective date that is before the participant has a bona fide separation from service.

Read the full summary

The bill sets the effective date for a regular retirement annuity for participants whose application for long-term disability benefits or a disability annuity is denied as the later of the date that would have been the effective date of that annuity or those benefits or the day after the participant's separation from service.
