Process Considerations:
NOTE: For rehired annuitants who retired after 7/1/2013, the Lookback period does not begin until the date of rehire subsequent to the retirement. See Running the WRS Rehired Annuitant Lookback Report in HRS for more information on Rehired Annuitants and the Lookback Process.3. Verify if the employee had WRS Service prior to or after 7/1/2011 in order to establish the WRS lookback hours threshold. For information on WRS Lookback eligibility requirements, go to the UW System Employee Benefits website > Retirement > Plans > Wisconsin Retirement System. Additional information is also available in the WRS Administrative Manual.
a) Navigate to Benefits > Reports > Regulatory and Compliance > WRS Accumulator.
b) Enter the Employee's Empl_ID
c) Click the Search button
d) Verify on the WRS Accumulator Table that the Benefit Plan is equal to "NON"
e) Export to Excel by clicking the download button
f) Calculate the total Service Hours within the last 12 months. If there are multiple rows, add the hours to determine the total. For Rehired Annuitants who retired after 7/1/2013 only count the hours accrued from the Date of Rehire subsequent to the retirement.
a) Update the Benefits Service Date (Job Data Benefits tab) to reflect the WRS Lookback effective date.6. If the WRS Lookback outcome is NOT correct: Create a ticket to have the UWSS Service Operations override the Lookback Job Row.
b) Verify the Health Rate Field reflects the correct value (it will always default to Full Employer Share). If the employee should pay the less the than half time rates for State Group Health and the value on Job Data is incorrect, add a row on Job Data to Update the UW Benefits Tab.
c) If the employee is University Staff, update the Adjusted Continuous Service Date located on Benefits Personal Data to the date the employee came under WRS Lookback to ensure they receive the appropriate amount of paid time off. If you are unable to update this value, contact your AG Group for assistance.
d) Verify and update the Rehired Annuitant Field if needed.
e) Verify and update the WRS Service Prior to July 1, 2011 Field if needed.
f) If you have updated any values on Job Data, run the Eligibility Config Pop Process ad hoc. (reference: Running the Populate Eligibility Config Pop Process Ad Hoc in HRS ) and reprocess the MSC Event back to Assign Benefit Program to pick up those eligibility changes. (reference: Reprocessing Events Using On Demand Event Maintenance in HRS )
g) Finalize the MSC Event using On Demand Event Maintenance. (Reference Reviewing the MSC Event Evaluation Report in HRS )
NOTE: If you are unable to add a row on Job Data or Modify a Person, or you need additional assistance, please contact your AG Group.
