Voluntary Enrollment Guide 2025
Group Premium Rates - The premium is based on low group premium rates. Life insurance coverage is also available for eligible dependents based on the amount of coverage you approved for yourself.
Payroll Deduction - Premiums are paid using the convenience of payroll deduction.
Initial Enrollment: New employees are allowed to participate in the Voluntary Life Insurance Program if they are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week during the school year. The initial enrollment must occur within 30 days of their initial hire date.
Late Enrollment: On an annual basis during the month of November, employees who had previously declined, have the opportunity to request the Voluntary Benefits. Because this is considered to be an annual late enrollment, there is no guarantee of insurance and medical underwriting insurability may be required.
