Classified Employee Benefits
-
Classified full-time employees (working 6 hours or more per day) receive their benefits through the Self-Insured Schools of California (SISC). SISC is an agency which provides different insurance coverage to employer groups at a group rate. Currently, SISC provides Blue Shield of California PPO plans and a Kaiser HMO plan for our employees. In addition to their medical plan options, each employee will be enrolled in dental coverage through Delta Dental and vision coverage through Vision Service Plan (VSP). Lastly, a UNUM Life Insurance benefit is also provided for the full-time employee separate from SISC. Premiums for benefits are composite based, which means the premium rates seen on the Health Plan Election forms are inclusive of the employee's enrollment and any eligible dependents. Please review the plan details below for coverage overview.
Classified staff may not opt-out of benefit enrollments.
If you have any further questions, please send an email to benefits@palmdaled.org.
Reminder: As a Palmdale School District employee, you do not pay for State Disability. Please look at the Voluntary Deductions page for more information on disability options, IRS Section 125 Flexible Spending Accounts, long-term care, and voluntary life insurance.
Annually, each employee group elects plans that will be offered the following benefit year. The benefit year runs between October 1st through September 30th. Open Enrollment occurs annually following the receipt of renewal rates. Open Enrollment is the one time a year you may elect to make changes to your plan selections or dependents without needing a qualifying life event. Enrollment changes may require forms to be filled out and supporting documents to be provided to the Benefits Services Department. They will submit the change to SISC, who will then process the changes with your insurance plan carriers. For further questions or inquiries, feel free to contact our Benefits Helpdesk by emailing benefits@palmdalesd.org or calling (661) 789-6525.
