Annual Enrollment 2009

The Annual Enrollment Period for benefits is July 1–31

The Annual Enrollment period for benefits is right around the corner: July 1 – 31.

If you are a benefits-eligible employee, you can make changes to your benefits and/or renew your enrollment in the UT Flex Plan during this period of time online at www.utsystem.edu/myutbenefits.

On or before July 1, you will receive Your UT Benefits Enrollment Options letter by email with important information about your benefits from The University of Texas System Office of Employee Benefits.  Employees without a valid email address on file will receive a letter in the mail.
