  • Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) participation. Once a LTE has worked for 600 hours within a one year period, they begin participation in the WRS.

  • Health insurance. Once a LTE begins participation in the WRS, they become eligible to enroll in the state health insurance program and pay the full premium. With six months of WRS participation eligibility begins for state participation, that is the state pays partial premiums.
