2021 annual enrollment for faculty and staff is this month
UC’s annual benefit enrollment begins on Nov. 1 and ends on Nov. 30
As University of Cincinnati faculty and staff, you are encouraged to Choose Well for your benefits next year for 2021. Benefit elections will be made via the Employee Self Service or ESS. As you prepare to make your 2021 benefit choices, we encourage you to review the resources available to you on the Annual Enrollment Bearcats Landing site (UC login required). Detailed information on what’s changing, what’s new, what’s staying the same, and more can be found there as well.
Virtual, live town hall sessions and one-on-one calls with a Benefits representative are available to help you choose well throughout November. Take a few minutes to review the Annual Enrollment Quickstart Guide and try the Annual Enrollment Challenge!
