Life Insurance – What’s New Starting July 1, 2022
With our change in life insurance carriers to UHC, the District is now able offer the following basic life insurance to employees:
- $75,000 for Administrators and Associate Professionals
- $30,000 for SCEA, SCESPA, Transportation, Food Service, O & M, ESSP, and ESC Admin. Assistants
In addition, starting this July 1st, all employees can elect supplemental life insurance in the following amounts:
$20,000
$30,000
$50,000
$75,000
$100,000
$125,000
Now is a great time to add or increase supplemental life insurance coverage, because no underwriting is required during this open enrollment period only (unless previously declined supplemental life coverage).
Flex Plan Information
You are required to fill out a new Flex Enrollment Form for the plan year that starts July 1, 2022, and ends June 30, 2023. If you do not fill out a flex form for the new plan year, you will not be enrolled with the Flexible Spending Account for the 2022 – 2023 plan year.
Filling out Benefit Enrollment Forms
Please follow these steps to ensure that you are completing your forms correctly.
- Review information in Section 1 of the Benefits Information Enrollment Form.

- If you do want to make changes (including adding or increasing supplemental life), you will need to turn the form over and complete the other side.
- In Section 2, you will need to checkmark all benefits you are electing for 2022-23, and enter information about the dependents you wish to cover.
- You will only sign Section 3 if you are electing to waive any of your current coverage.
