• Why Does Open Enrollment Matter? 

    Open Enrollment is a key time that occurs once a year, which allows you to review your health insurance and make any necessary changes to your plan for the following calendar year. Things to consider prior to Open Enrollment:

    1. Plan Selection: During open enrollment, you can choose between our two health insurance plans. This is your opportunity to select a plan that best fits your health needs and budget. Please take a look at our page that describes the differences between the PPO and the HDHP. 
    2. Dependent Changes: Open Enrollment is the time to make changes to the dependents on your current plan. During Open Enrollment you can add or drop dependents. Please note, if you make changes to the dependents on your plan, the changes will become effective on 01/01/2025. 
    3. Employer Contribution and Employee Deduction Changes: WCSD contributes 100% of the premium for employees. If you have dependents on your plan, there will be a deduction on your paycheck to cover the premium for your dependents. The Group Insurance Committee and the Board of Trustees reviews premium rates every year to ensure our self-funded plan is healthy and we are doing what is best for our employees. 
    4. Benefit Review: Beyond your medical health insurance, we offer additional benefits like prescription, dental, vision, life insurance, and wellness programs. Open enrollment is a great time to review your benefits! We encourage you to continue to review our website for details on all the offerings our health insurance has.
