UW–Madison employees can enroll in or change benefits for the upcoming year now through Friday, Oct. 25, 2024. Certain benefits require re-enrollment every year. Employees are encouraged to attend upcoming virtual and in-person sessions that will provide information about benefits options and how to enroll. A 60-minute overview, “Benefits 2025: What You Need to Know,” will be offered virtually throughout the enrollment period. This information session will also be offered in person at the Employee Benefits and Resource Fair on Tuesday, Oct. 8. A daytime session will be offered in English, Spanish, Hmong, Tibetan, Chinese, and Nepali on Oct. 3, and a late-night session for the second and third shifts will be offered in all languages on Oct. 9. Details about these sessions and additional resources to assist with benefits enrollment are available at benefits.wisc.edu/2025.
