Overview
When you enroll in benefits, you typically must stay enrolled for the entire plan year. This means that you cannot make changes to your benefits mid-year unless you have a qualifying life event, as defined by the IRS. Some examples of qualifying life events are employment changes (such as a change to your employment category or appointment percentage), and family changes (such as birth/adoption, marriage/divorce).
When you have a qualifying life event, you generally have 30 days from the date of the event to make your changes. If you miss this 30 day window, your next opportunity to make changes is in the fall for the upcoming calendar year.
To enroll, make changes, or cancel coverage log into Workday (myworkday.wisconsin.edu) within 30 days of your life event. Once in Workday, from the Menu in the upper left go to Personal, then select Benefits and Pay. In the Suggested Links select, My Insurance Benefits to access the benefits enrollment system.
Reach out to your benefits contact within 30 days from the date of your qualifying life event with questions.
