Running the WRS Rehired Annuitant Lookback Report in HRS
Overview
Rehired Annuitants have unique WRS eligibility requirements, depending on whether on not they retired on or prior to 7/1/2013, or after 7/1/2013. Rehired Annuitants who retired by 7/1/2013 are managed by the Rehired Annuitant report. Rehired Annuitants who retired on or after 7/2/2013 fall instead under the WRS Lookback process. The Rehired Annuitant Process generates a report that is distributed via Cypress to institution Benefit Administrators. The report can also be run ad hoc as needed. Employees appearing on this report should be counseled by the campus Benefit Administrator on their option to stop their annuity and go back into the WRS and obtain the required Rehired Annuitant Election Form (ET2319). If the employee chooses to stop their annuity and ETF provides the required confirmation and effective date, the campus Benefits Administrator should change the value in the Rehired Annuitant Field on JOB Data to "Rehired w/WRS" so the system automatically re-enrolls the employee back into the WRS.Process Considerations:
- The Lookback Rehired Annuitant Report will be run after each successful Payroll Confirm and WRS Accumulator Load process which loads data to each employee's Viewing the WRS Accumulator Table in HRS.
- The Lookback Rehired Annuitant Report can be run ad hoc by institution Benefit Administrators assigned to the UW_UNV_BN_CAMPUS_BN_UPD role and by UWSS Service Operations employees who are assigned the UW_SSC_BN_UPDATE role. The report can be run for the entire System or filtered for a specific Business Unit or Department.
- To be included on the report, a Rehired Annuitant employee must have a Rehired Annuitant field value equal to 'Retire Pre 7-2-2013 no WRS' and meet or exceed the 1/3 equivalent WRS hours threshold for their respective Empl Class. For more information on WRS thresholds, Benefit Administrators can access the UWSHR Website as well as Chapter 3 of the WRS Administrator Manual. (NOTE: The Lookback Rehired Annuitant report will include Rehired Annuitants who retired post 7/2/2013, meet or exceed the 1/3 equivalent for their respective Empl Class, and had WRS service prior to 7/1/2011.)
- The Lookback Rehired Annuitant Report will be distributed to the Unit/Campus level Cypress inboxes and have a retention of 30 days. After this retention period, the UWSS Service Operations will have access to previous archived reports.
- Ad hoc process outputs will be available as a PDF file via the HRS Process Monitor.
