Alert: New Process to Enroll or Change Benefits
- Employees: Log in to the secure My Benefits portal to access My Insurance Benefits.
- Retirees: Submit form ET-2331 (and/or ET-2339 for supplemental insurance) to ETF. You can also use My Benefits to view insurance information, update contact information, cancel or reduce coverage.
Action Required: Accident Plan Enrollment
For non-Universities of Wisconsin employees: If you currently have a Securian Accident Plan that covers any dependents (spouse and/or dependents), you must reenroll the dependents in the Accident Plan during open enrollment to have coverage that continues past January 1, 2027.
If you do not, your dependents will no longer have Accident Plan coverage, and your plan will change to individual coverage for only you as the subscriber.
When reenrolling dependents, you will need to gather, scan, and upload documents to verify your dependents. For more information, see the member job aid.
2027 Health Plan Name Changes
