The City of Wichita's Pension Management Office provides administration of the Wichita Retirement Systems, consisting of the Wichita Employees' Retirement System (WERS) and the Police & Fire Retirement System of Wichita, Kansas (PFRS).
The Pension Manager serves as Executive Secretary for each system’s Board of Trustees. The Pension Management Office is responsible for maintaining the official records of the Pension Systems and for producing the certified annual financial report, annual reports to members of the Systems, and the pension newsletter. Most importantly, this office provides pension assistance to employees, retirees, and beneficiaries of the systems. Services include pension benefit estimates, assistance with pension payments, clarification of benefits, assistance with health insurance issues, and more.
The Wichita Retirement Systems consist of five defined benefit plans and one defined contribution plan. These plans were established to provide full-time City of Wichita employees with a means to accumulate reserves for themselves and their dependents in order to provide for old age or disability.
