Retirement Resource Fair, Day 1 – Your Retiree Benefits
Virtual sessions for UW retirees and future retirees
Do you have questions about the UW Benefits Office, Medicare, and health plan options for non-Medicare-Eligible retirees? These topics and more are gathered in an easy-to-access format with an opportunity to ask questions in each session.
Our informative webinars are open to all, but they 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.
