If navigating your health insurance benefits feels like finding your way through a maze, you're not alone. Many of us are not trained to navigate the complexities of our health care system. As university and state employes in Wisconsin, we have a valuable benefit: using accumulated unused sick leave credits to cover health insurance costs in retirement. But, when sick leave credits run out, what happens?
Join us for a discussion of navigating the complexities of our health care system with a panel of experts on the topic of what to do when sick leave credits run out.
Adam VanSpankeren, Outreach Program Manager at UW-Madison Division of Extension, will discuss accessing health insurance plans and explain the services of Covering Wisconsin, coveringwisconsin.org, a non-profit organization that provides free navigator services to connect people with health insurance.
Joining the panel will be several ETF staff members. Arlene Larson, Federal Health Programs and Policy Manager and Tricia Sieg, Pharmacy Benefit Program Manager will be Joining the discussion on sick leave policy questions. 
Tom Rasmussen, the Life and Dental Insurance Program Manager will be available to address Life Conversion, and a staff person from ETF’s Member Services Bureau, who can explain the nuts and bolts of sick leave administration.
If you have preliminary questions for the speakers, please email them in advance to program coordinators Rick Daluge at rhdaluge@wisc.edu and Don Miner dlminer655@gmail.com by Thursday, February 6.
