Finance Department Updates - Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment: Dental, Health, and Vision Insurance
Open enrollment for our health, dental and vision insurance is during October. To make changes, you must submit the appropriate forms to Pauline Geiselman before October 31. All changes will be effective January 1, 2019, which means that we will withhold premium adjustments from your December paycheck. Additional information is available in the video link below. Note that we do not recommend e-mailing completed forms as they do contain social security numbers. You may give the completed form to your school bookkeeper to forward to the Finance Department or fax completed forms to 228-865-4618.
No action is necessary if you do not wish to make any changes, for your dental, health, or vision coverage at this time.
Health Insurance Premium Rate Increase
The State and School Employees' Health Insurance Plan will implement a rate increase effective January 1, 2019. Since we withhold premiums in advance, you will see the increase in your December paycheck. The employer portion will increase from $356 to $367 per employee per month.
Premiums for the employee portion of the health insurance are on the following link:
