How to Enroll

You can make your Open Enrollment elections from Monday, April 15, through Friday, April 26.

Just visit the online enrollment system at www.pennbenefits.upenn.edu and use your PennKey and password to log on. If you don’t have online access, you can contact the Penn Benefits Center at 1-888-PENN-BEN (1-888-736-6236), Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST and complete your enrollment over the phone, or you can visit a number of convenient campus locations to manage your health care benefits online.

You can also use Penn’s online enrollment system to review your life insurance beneficiary information. Although you can change your beneficiaries whenever you like (not just during Open Enrollment), now is a great time to review all your benefits information to be sure it’s up to date and accurate.
