Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Subject Matter Minute.<\/span><\/p>\n

I promise that this is the last time I will talk about my hip. There are a couple things I meant to share with you, but forgot. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 When I was talking with my surgeon before the procedure, I was thinking it would be cool to keep the ball that they hack off the top of my femur.

This benefit has been available to Wyoming Retirement members for years, but after a short pause, it\u2019s being reintroduced with one important change. I\u2019ll explain that in just a moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a voluntary life insurance benefit available to all active WRS contributing members.<\/span>
<\/span>It\u2019s\u00a0 issued by Prudential, administered by an outfit called Member Benefits, and available through the National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems \u2014 or NCPERS. Not an important detail, but dems the facts. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

The plan is designed to give you guaranteed-issue life insurance, which means:<\/span><\/p>\n
