Annual Enrollment (AE) 2016 is just around the corner. Watch for July’s special Annual Enrollment edition of the “A Matter of Health” employee newsletter to be distributed via e-mail by Wednesday, July 6, 2016. For all retirees, this year paper copies of the special Annual Enrollment retiree newsletter will be delivered via U.S. Mail by July 15, 2016
During early July, the UT System Office of Employee Benefits (OEB) website will be updated with this year's Annual Enrollment information, including video presentations from OEB and the UT Benefits insurance vendors. As in past years, there will be Benefits Fairs at each institution where you can meet representatives from each of the insurance plan administrators and retirement plan vendors and ask specific questions regarding your coverage or retirement savings options. Dates, times, and locations will be announced by your institution.
