What is Spring Enrollment?
The District offers qualifying health plan premiums (medical, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts) to be deducted from your pay on a pre-tax basis by operating its plan under Section 125 (a.k.a. Cafeteria Plan) of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This limits when and what changes to elections can be made - for this reason, we have a Spring Enrollment period.
What changes can be made?
Flexible Spending plans require enrollment/re-enrollment each year - action is required if you want to participate in either of these plans. If you do not wish to make changes to your medical, dental, and/or vision elections for the 2025-26 plan year, no further action on your part is required for those plans. Changes to your benefits outside of the Spring Enrollment period will be subject to the limitations of the District’s Cafeteria Plan as outlined in the Qualifying Life Event Guide.

How to confirm elections have been accepted
After you submit your changes, you will receive a notice to your District-provided email address from Human Resources outlining your changes. Be sure to review your changes and ensure they are correct. If you have not received the aforementioned notice by the time you go off-duty in May, we highly recommend you check your District-provided email for this notice during your off-duty time. You can also access your Benefit Statement anytime by logging into ARCORO. Your Benefit Statement is located on your homepage.
