The Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) is a Wisconsin state agency that administers retirement, health, life, income continuation, long-term disability, and long term care insurance programs for 570,000 state and local government employees and annuitants.

The ETF Board is the overall governing body. There are two elected seats on the ETF Board and nine elected seats on the Teachers Retirement Board. Terms for board members are staggered and are either four-year or five-year terms. Elections are held when there are more qualified nominees than available seats.

The contract is proposed to be effective November 4, 2013, and will extend through November 4, 2014, with an option, by mutual agreement of ETF and the selected vendor, to renew for up to two additional one-year periods.
