New Hires
-
The School District of Osceola County would like to welcome you to the District and offer you the opportunity to make your benefit elections. As a new employee, you are eligible for benefits the first of the month after your hire date. The Benefits Guide presents highlights of each of the benefit plans available to you as a newly hired District employee. Please see the following as an example of the email you will receive from Explain My Benefits. ACTION IS NEEDED!
"You are receiving this email as you have recently started employment with the School District of Osceola County. You are now eligible to make your insurance elections! We ask that you access our benefit portal system or schedule a telephonic enrollment meeting with a benefits' counselor from Explain My Benefits to enroll or waive benefits. Failure to enroll will automatically enroll you. Your benefit enrollment period will last 14 days from the date of hire. Visit the Benefits Portal and click the Schedule Enrollment Meeting Button to select the available date and time for a benefits' counselor to call you and enroll you in your benefits, or you can access the Benefit portal to move through the enrollment system at your own pace".

- Failure to take action to enroll or waive coverage will automatically default employees to the Healthy Essentials plan employee-only coverage and the Board-paid Life Insurance for the remainder of the plan year.
- Adding dependents to the plan will result in a pending status of their coverage and therefore dependents are not enrolled with active coverage until dependent verification is received. Dependent verification must be received within 30 days of enrollment, otherwise dependents will be dropped from the pending status and will have to wait until the next open enrollment window or experience a qualifying life event.
In addition, please be sure to sign the form titled “WORKERS’ COMPENSATION EMPLOYEE INFORMATION” Please sign and submit.
Please visit https://embbenefits.com/sdoc/#enroll to make your appointment with Explain My Benefits or to self-enroll.
Again, Welcome to the Osceola School District!
