About the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS)

Although retirement means different things to different people, the one thing that every retiree needs is money.

All of us here at the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS) are dedicated to making sure you have the information, planning tools, and retirement vehicles you need to fulfill your retirement dreams. And although the work we do is important, the most important person in your retirement planning is YOU. We're here to help, so take the time NOW to start planning for your retirement.

We offer two types of retirement benefits that work together to help you build a secure financial future:

• Pension — Once you qualify, this benefit provides a monthly income for life. WRS administers several pension systems for different groups of public employees. Most people are members of the Public Employees Pension System.

• 457 Deferred Compensation Plan — This plan helps you build your own retirement nest egg while saving money on taxes. Throughout the website, we refer to this plan as the “Deferred Compensation Plan.” Your contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan are voluntary and do not affect your pension benefit or your contributions to the Pension System.
