Welcome New Member!
As you are starting your new career with a Wyoming Retirement Agency, we would like to provide you with information about the benefits you qualify for. Here, on our website, you can find information such as videos, forms, handbooks, calculators, and log-in guides for the pension and 457 Deferred Compensation portals.
If your employer is a member of the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS), you are automatically enrolled in one of WRS’ pension plans. If you work for a state agency or some non-state agencies, you will automatically be enrolled in the 457 Deferred Compensation program. Most of our non-state agencies are not automatically enrolled in the supplemental savings program. If you wish to enroll, you will have to fill out some simple paperwork. To enroll in the 457 Deferred Compensation program, complete the Enrollment Form (for non-state employees). Submit the completed enrollment form to WRS for processing.
If you would like investment information regarding the 457 Deferred Compensation Program, please click here. On this page, you can find the fund fact sheets link, which will describe each fund’s investment information. You can also select the investment performance link to review the WRS 457 Deferred Compensation Plan Investment Performance outlining how each fund has performed.
If you have any questions regarding your pension plan, please call (307) 777-1977.
If you have any questions regarding the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan, please call (307) 777-3325.
