In July, ETF will launch My Insurance Benefits for employees of the Universities of Wisconsin (UWs). For the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics (UWHC) and all other state and local employees, the launch date is scheduled in 2026.
My Insurance Benefits is an online application for employees to manage their ETF-administered insurance benefits 24/7. Employees can enroll in, change, or review their current insurance information, including health, dental, vision, accident, income continuation, and life insurance. State employees can also manage their pre-tax savings accounts. Note: Long-term care insurance is not included in the application.
Initially, employees of the UWs may log in to view their insurance information and familiarize themselves with My Insurance Benefits. New hires and employees who wish to change their benefits due to a life event (like having a baby or being newly married or divorced) will complete new enrollments and make those changes online.
During the annual open enrollment period this fall, employees of the UWs will use My Insurance Benefits to make any desired changes to their health and other eligible insurance benefits. UWHC and other state and local employees will keep using the same process as before to make benefit changes.
My Insurance Benefits will be accessed through the My Benefits portal, which is part of ETF’s modernization effort to improve online self-service for members and employers. Currently with My Benefits, you can securely access your WRS Annual Statements of Benefits dating back to 2012 or request a disability retirement estimate. Several projects are in the pipeline for ongoing modernization.
