Department of Employe Trust Funds
February, 1996
The Honorable, The Legislature:
I am pleased to present you with the 1994 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the Wisconsin Department of Employe Trust Funds (ETF). We continue to strive, with the Legislative Audit Bureau, to improve the timeliness of these reports. This has been one of our main objectives over the past few years, and the 1994 Report is the third one we have published since November 1994.
S764
This year's report is a milestone for ETF, the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) and residents of the state. We, for the first time, topped the $1 billion a year mark in distribution of retirement annuity payments to more than 86,000 annuitants. There are only a handful of public employe retirement systems in the United States which serve more retired individuals than we do in Wisconsin. In 1994 we also passed the 400,000 mark in total WRS participants, including active employes of the State of Wisconsin, municipalities, counties, public school districts, the University of Wisconsin System, and a variety of other local governments.
ETF manages the public employe retirement program and a number of other fringe benefit programs. The narrative summary of ETF's programs is found in the Introduction of this report. This year's report highlights the Group Life Insurance Program, which is our largest non-retirement fringe benefit offering. At the end of 1994, we served 137,788 active and retired employes with various life insurance plans. The total amount of life insurance in force for all participants has increased in the last ten years from $3.5 billion to $7.1 billion as of December 31, 1994.
The 1994 report contains audited financial data and statistical material, the actuarial report and other related data. To meet the state's requirement for publication of a biennial or annual report we also include material on our objectives, accomplishments, legislation affecting our programs and other information. This provides you with an ongoing record of our program and financial situation.
Your comments would be appreciated and can be directed to me at (608)266-1071 or to Sandy Drew, our Director of Legislation and Planning, at (608)267-2929.
Sincerely,
eric o. stanchfield
