NUFlex Annual Enrollment
The University of Nebraska is pleased to present your NUFlex Benefits enrollment information for 2023. Please read all of the enrollment information carefully. Take time to review your current benefits and make decisions that will be best for you and your family in 2023.
Your benefits selection from the prior year will automatically roll over, with the exception of flexible spending accounts. You only need to change what you want to be different, or add new benefits. The health risk assessment and tobacco/nicotine designation need to be completed on a yearly basis.
When you add or change benefits in Firefly, simply save your selection, and the benefit change will be automatically submitted. There is not a "submit" button at the end of the process.
