SWSA Supports Re-hiring of Annuitants

The “re-hiring of annuitants bill” was introduced by Senator Knodl (R) and Representative Wittke (R) and included 23  bipartisan legislative co-sponsors. The bill would apply to all participants in the Wisconsin Retirement System and had broad support from K-12, police and fire, technical colleges, and others . The bill, introduced late in the legislative session, did not advance beyond the committee level and continues to face some political challenges. We will continue to advocate with our coalition partners to repeal the current policy to provide some relief for school staffing needs.
