The Group Insurance Board has approved the Wisconsin Public Employer Group Life Insurance premium rates for local employees. Claims experience has been stable, resulting in no change to local employee premium rates for 2024.
For rates effective July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025, please see Group Life Insurance Plan Monthly Rates (ET-2164).
Spouse and Dependent
The premium for spouse and dependent coverage will remain the same as the current rate of $1.60 per unit.
Joining the Plan
Employers who do not currently participate in the Wisconsin Public Employers Group Life Insurance Program may adopt a Resolution for Inclusion Under Group Life Insurance (ET-1303), to provide employees with one or more of the plans available under the Program.
The resolution must be certified by the WRS agent for that employer or, for non-WRS pension plans only, by the authorized employer representative. Coverage will be effective on the first day of the fourth month following receipt of the certified resolution at ETF.
If you have questions about joining the Group Life Insurance Program, contact the Employer Communication Center at 1-877-533-5020 or email us at ETFSMBESSNewEmployer@etf.wi.gov.
