Employees of the Universities of Wisconsin (UWs) can now manage their insurance benefits 24/7 with My Insurance Benefits.
My Insurance Benefits is a secure online application that provides employees access to their insurance information, such as health, dental, vision, accident, income continuation, and life insurance, as well as pre-tax savings accounts.
Note: Long-term care insurance is not included in My Insurance Benefits.
The launch of My Insurance Benefits for the UWs, which is one of the largest employers under the Group Health Insurance Program, does not include employees of the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics (UWHC). All other state and local retirees and employees, including UWHC, will have access to My Insurance Benefits next year.
At launch, 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 (October 6-31, 2025), employees of the UWs will use My Insurance Benefits to make any desired changes to their health and other eligible insurance benefits. Other state and local employees and retirees 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. Several projects are in the pipeline for ongoing modernization.
Employees can watch for updates on My Insurance Benefits directly from your employer’s human resources office or benefits specialist, while retirees may get the latest news from ETF.
