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.
