Benefits open enrollment closes Friday afternoon


You have three more days to complete your benefits open enrollment if you wish to continue or change your benefits for the 2015-16 school year. The window to enroll closes this Friday, May 15 at 5 p.m.

During that period, all employees who qualify for benefits must log-on to iVisions to re-enroll. The option you select will take effect on July 1. All employees eligible for benefits must complete the online open enrollment process by May 15. If you do not complete the process, your insurance benefits will end on June 30.

Although GESD’s insurance trust recommended an increase in employees pay for insurance of 8.7 percent, the District declined to do so. Instead the District will cover the cost for you. On average, this represents an increase of $581.22 in insurance benefits costs for all GESD employees who qualify for benefits. The District was able to absorb this cost by managing claims more efficiently during the past year.


You can find a listing of all insurance premiums here, and instructions on how to access the health benefits website here.

Changes
In addition to the District covering insurance costs increases, GESD was also able to negotiate a more robust dental plan with Delta Dental. The plan now covers all costs for preventative dental care, even with premiere dentists.

Other changes include:
  • Because of federal insurance mandates the HSA2500 medical plan will change to the HSA2600 medical plan.
  • Same sex spouse coverage was added.
