Retirement Resource Fair – Day 1, Your Retiree Benefits
Virtual sessions for UW retirees and future retirees
Register today to explore your UW retiree privileges in a virtual fair hosted by Retiree Relations and the UW Retirement Association, in collaboration with partners across the university. Do you have questions about using the Benefits office, accessing parking, Medicare plan options, updating your email address? These topics and more are gathered in an easy-to-access format, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions in each session.
These key resources are open to all, but will be especially useful for recent retirees and those planning to retire in the coming year. Mix and match your own program — drop in on just the sessions that interest you or make a day of it! Webinar links will be sent via email upon registration.
Be sure to also see the October 18 sessions on Your Retiree Privileges.
