They only way to enroll in the Voluntary Benefits is through the Benefit Counselors. Employees will not have another opportunity to enroll in these benefits until the fall open enrollment period.
All new employees to the City of Milwaukee have a thirty-day waiting period for health, dental, vision and voluntary benefits and benefit enrollments must be completed within this time frame. Employees will receive a Self-Service identification number to make benefit elections, sign up for direct deposit and view their paychecks. If employees do not receive a self-service ID within 7-10 days of their start date, contact der_neo@milwaukee.gov or 414-286-2944. New employees have three options for enrolling in benefits including using Self-Service, meeting with a Benefit Counselor or completing an enrollment form and returning it to DER Benefits. The only way to enroll in voluntary benefits is through the Benefit Counselors.
