Important Reminders

As you make your benefits elections, please keep in mind:

  • If you do not want to make any changes to your current benefits coverage, it is recommended that you take a few minutes to review your elections and dependents to ensure they are correct.
  • You must enroll in the UT FLEX program each year; elections from 2023–2024 will not roll forward.
