Benefits 2022: What You Need to Know
Annual Benefits Enrollment (ABE) is an annual opportunity for eligible team members to enroll in or make changes to most benefit plans for the upcoming calendar year, effective January 1, 2022. ABE takes place from September 27 through October 22, 2021. This 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. All enrollments and changes can be made via MyUW portal.
