Voluntary Benefits through New York Life
New York Life premiums remain the same for Supplemental Term Life Insurance, Supplemental Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance, and Long Term Disability. During the 2024-25 Spring Enrollment event, employees may elect coverage for themselves and their spouses up to the guaranteed issue without having to submit an Evidence of Insurability form.
Current employees, spouses and/or dependents currently enrolled in supplemental life are able to increase up the guaranteed issue (GI) amount without having to complete an EOI. The employee GI amounts are the lesser of 7x’s the annual compensation to a max of $400k. Spouse GI amount is $20k. Any amounts above that would require that the employee submit an EOI.
Employees and Spouses not currently enrolled in supplemental life may enroll up to the GI amounts without having to submit an EOI. Any amounts above the GI would require an EOI.

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 2023-24 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.
