Retirement Resource Fair – Your Retiree Benefits
Virtual sessions for UW retirees and future retirees
Do you have questions about using the Benefits office, accessing parking, Social Security, health insurance 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 those who have already retired or are 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 9 sessions on Your Retiree Privileges and the Oct. 9 and Nov. 5 sessions on Financial Matters.
Accessibility Notes: Live Zoom sessions have captions available in a variety of languages. Recorded sessions are captioned in English.
