Coverage is effective on the first day of employment through the end of the last day of employment.
No medical underwriting is required. Any Board-approved employee who has been continuously employed for at least 12 months is eligible for an accelerated benefit of either 25 percent or 50 percent of their benefit amount, if the insurance company receives proof that the employee is terminally ill. A detailed booklet describing coverage is provided to all employees by the Human Resources Office. No medical underwriting is required when employees enroll at the time of their employment. Enrollment to the dependent plan at a later date will require proof of good health on dependents.
