This is the time of the year for all benefited employees to review their benefits and make any changes, if needed. Representatives from all the medical plans will be available on September 18, 2015 in De Anza Campus Conference Room A & B to answer any medical plan questions. You may also visit the CalPERS website at www.calpers.ca.gov. Click on www.iElect.com to get complete information about your medical plan options. You will have the option of enter your zip code to find out which plan options are available to you. It is very important to find out beforehand if your doctor accepts the plan you select; if it is a new doctor make sure he/she is accepting new patients.

If you do not wish to make any changes to your medical, dental and vision, there is no need to do anything. If you wish to continue enrollment in the Flexible Spending Account and/or Health Care/Dependent Care Programs, you are required to re-enroll online annually. Additionally, if you wish to participate in New MetLife Voluntary Benefits (Critical Illness, Group Accident, and MetLaw Legal Plan), you may do so this year with no evidence of insurability required.  

Important Reminder: When adding new dependents online, you must also submit ALL required documentation such as Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate (Passport is accepted), and Social Security cards, for all dependents, to the District HR/Benefits Unit no later than 5pm, Friday, October 9, 2015 in order for benefits to be activated effective January 1, 2016.
