About Our Agency
Welcome to the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS), dedicated to providing highly valuable and unique benefits tailored for Wyoming’s public servants! Whether you’re a teacher, police officer, firefighter, or an employee of various entities within the state, university, community colleges, cities, towns, counties, or special districts, WRS is here to secure your financial future.
WRS administers eight distinct pension plans along with a 457 Deferred Compensation Plan, ensuring comprehensive coverage and tailored options to suit your needs.
The Wyoming Retirement System’s mission is to provide expert administration and responsible investment of Wyoming’s public retirement and supplement savings programs.
How Your Pension Works
Your pension benefit is funded through a combination of your employer’s contributions on your behalf and your own contributions, as mandated by state statute. In some instances, employers may cover a portion of your contributions as part of your compensation package. You can review this information on your pay stub or consult with your employer for clarification.
The size of your future retirement benefit hinges on various factors, including your years of service with WRS employers, your average salary, and your age at retirement. While specifics may differ across the eight WRS pension plans, the underlying principle remains consistent.
In many cases, if you change jobs, you can continue to build your pension benefit with any of the 700+ participating public employers in Wyoming!
Pension Plan Advantages: Because your pension is professionally invested, you don’t have to make complex investment decisions. Once you meet the age and service requirements to qualify for a benefit, your pension will last for your lifetime, no matter how long you live. This means you don’t have to worry about running out of money in retirement!
Pension Account Setup: Your Online Pension Account provides access to pension information and transactions specific to your account. To set up your Online Pension Account access for the first time, visit: https://pension.wyo.gov/Account/Register. You will need 3 pieces of information: your RAIN ID, your Social Security Number and your Date-of-Birth
