SUMMARY

From January 2007 through March 2012, UW System and state agencies on Central Payroll hired 2,783 WRS annuitants who had terminated employment from 2007 through 2011. Local agencies responding to our survey indicated that they hired 2,599 annuitants from January 2011 through March 2012. Because statutes provide few restrictions on annuitants returning to work, we provide several options for legislative consideration.
