Victor Elementary School District offers health and welfare benefits to all eligible employees. Our goal is to provide resources to keep you informed so that you may utilize the plan benefits to their fullest potential.
Medical Plans for active and eligible retired VETA Bargaining Unit Members are available through Self-Insured Schools of California (SISC). Plan options include Blue Shield PPO, Blue Shield HMO and Kaiser HMO. Benefit Summaries are available in the tabs below.
Our VESD Benefits Open Enrollment Period is May 8 through May 26, 2023.
This is your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your benefits.
No action is needed on your part unless you are making changes to your coverages.
Examples of changes you can make during open enrollment:
- change from HMO to PPO plan or vice versa
- change insurance carrier, Kaiser to Blue Shield or vice versa
- add or drop spouse and/or dependent(s)
- enroll in, cancel or change optional voluntary insurance plans such as Section 125 Flexible Spending Accounts, 403(b) or 457(b) voluntary retirement plans (scroll to bottom of page for information on optional plans).
If you are changing medical plans, you will need to complete an enrollment form for the plan of your choice and submit your completed form to the Personnel Department no later than May 26, 2023 for an effective date of October 1, 2023. Forms are available below.
If you are adding or dropping a spouse and/or dependent(s) you will need to complete a SISC Enrollment Change Form, a Delta Dental Change Form and a VSP Vision Change Form.
