Dental Coverage and Your Dependents
United Concordia, our dental group, sends out yearly Dependent Certification forms in March to employees with dependents covered by our dental insurance who are 19 years of age or older.
Please complete this form when you receive it so that your dependent student can remain on your dental plan for another year.
Please note that dependent dental coverage only lasts until June 30th of the year he/she turns 23. If your dependent turns 23 after July 1, he/she will remain on dental till June 30th of the following year.
Try the Y!
The YMCA and Avon Grove School District have partnered to offer valuable benefits to our employees.
Effective immediately, the Y will waive the joiner fee for any new membership purchased by an Avon Grove employee. In addition, employees will receive a 10% discount on their monthly membership fees.
For those of you who are already Y members, please make sure to let your local branch know that you are an Avon Grove employee. They will then make sure that you receive the 10 % discount off of your monthly fee.
And don't forget . . . get up to $150 back when you join an eligible gym and work out regularly.
