This is the only time during the year you are eligible to add or change benefit coverage unless you have a life event (marriage, birth, divorce…). All benefit enrollments and changes made during this period will be effective January 1, 2012. Be sure to read the coverage changes for benefits you currently hold. Visit the UW Service Center website for information on insurance changes and enrollment opportunities: http://uwservice.wisc.edu/2012/.
