Attend UW’s Benefits & Resource Fairs

Posted on by Stephanie Pao. This entry was posted in Whole U Program Information and tagged . Bookmark the permalink.

As an employee at the University of Washington, you have access to an array of benefits. So many, in fact, that each year The Whole U hosts multiple Benefits and Resource Fairs to help you navigate your options.

Bringing together a broad spectrum of benefit providers and UW resources, breakout sessions to learn more, and pop-up yoga classes for those who want to invigorate their day while learning about benefits options in advance of November’s open enrollment, this year’s Benefits and Resource fairs take place October 29 through 31—just before the annual open enrollment period. (The 2020 open enrollment period will occur November 1, 2019 through December 15, 2019, for health coverage to start January 1, 2020.)

If you are looking to learn more about your insurance options, there is no better time than up front and in person at the Benefits and Resource Fairs. Come to ask questions about health plans, retirement saving, insurance, affordable housing, childcare, fitness, community and, of course, The Whole U itself. Spouses and partners welcome!
