September 28–October 23, 2020 
Annual Benefits Enrollment is the only time you can make changes to certain benefits without having an eligible life event (for example, marriage, birth, or divorce) or qualifying employment change during the year. This year the enrollment period is September 28-October 23, 2020.
- Changes made during this period will be effective January 1, 2021.
- Certain benefits offered to UW–Madison employees require re-enrollment each year.
