Annual Benefits Enrollment

September 25–October 20, 2023

Annual Benefits Enrollment is the only time you can make changes to certain benefits without having an eligible life event (for example, marriage, birth, or divorce) or qualifying employment change during the year. Changes made during this period will be effective January 1, 2024. Certain benefits offered to UW–Madison employees require re-enrollment each year.

What will I pay for insurance in 2023?

Visit the 2023 Annual Benefits Enrollment website for information about monthly costs and changes to your benefits options for 2023.
