Benefits orientation is offered via Zoom on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to inform eligible faculty and staff about university health, welfare and retirement plans.

• New employees can register for Benefits Orientation via the UC Learning Center
• Registrants will be emailed a confirmation with a Benefits Orientation packet link and Zoom invitation link. 

New employees or those newly eligible for benefits should attend within their Period of Initial Eligibility (PIE). You will learn about the university's health plans, disability, life, accident insurance, and other UC benefits programs, retirement benefits, and receive answers to questions you may have about UC benefits. Be sure to attend within your PIE, or 31 days from the date of hire or transfer to a benefits-eligible position, to enroll in benefits.

If you have questions about Benefits Orientation, contact the Campus Benefits Office at benefits@ucsd.edu or (858) 534-2816.
