Wyoming

Wyoming Coalition for a Healthy Retirement (WCHR) exists to protect the security and dignity of retired firefighters, teachers, nurses, librarians, and public employees.

About Wyoming's Coalition

The Wyoming Coalition for a Healthy Retirement (WCHR) believes that all workers deserve to retire with dignity. The coalition works day-in and day-out to preserve and protect all retirees’ financial security participating in the Wyoming Retirement System (WRS). Public employees in Wyoming put aside a piece of every paycheck to fund their retirement. No politician or Wall Street interest should take away the hard-earned retirement security of these public servants. 

If you are interested in joining the fight to protect public employees’ retirement security in the state of Wyoming, please sign up below! 


The facts on WRS

The average service at retirement is 19.9 years, and about 19% of all retirees are career employees with 30 or more years of public service.

In 2017, WRS paid over $679 million in benefits.

About 79% of WRS payments remain in Wyoming and are recycled back in our economy.
