Health Care Authority - School Employee Benefit Board (SEBB)

Open Enrollment for the 2023-24 School Year will be:

SEBB now administers health insurance and other benefits to all employees in school districts, charter schools, and union-represented employees of Educational Service Districts in Washington State. 

Generally, you are eligible for SEBB benefits if you work for a Washington State school district or charter school, or are a represented employee of an educational service district (ESD), and your employer anticipates you will work at least 630 hours during the school year (September 1 through August 31).

The SEBB Program offers a range of health plans and other benefits.   The employer-paid benefits are: 

• Medical insurance

• Health saving account (HSA) for those who enroll in UMP High Deductible (administered by Regence BlueShield)

• Wellness programs like SmartHealth and the diabetes prevention program

• Dental insurance

• Vision insurance

• Basic life insurance

• Basic accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance

• Basic long-term disability (LTD) insurance

Additional benefits available for you to elect (employee-paid benefits):

• Supplemental life insurance

• Supplemental AD&D insurance

• Supplemental LTD insurance

• Medical Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA)

• Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP)

You can waive your enrollment in SEBB medical coverage if you are enrolled in other employer-based group medical insurance, a TRICARE plan, or Medicare.  If you are eligible for the employer contribution toward SEBB benefits and you waive medical coverage, you must still enroll in dental coverage, vision coverage, basic life insurance, basic accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, and basic long-term disability (LTD) insurance for yourself.

There’s a lot to think about when selecting your benefits. You need to consider things like provider networks, premiums, out-of-pocket costs, drug formularies, and if the plan and its providers are available to you.  

All eligible school employees will be offered a selection of plans based on their county of residence.  The plans offered in Clallam County are:

• Premera High PPO

• Premera Standard PPO

• Uniform Medical Plan (UMP) Achieve 1

• Uniform Medical Plan (UMP) Achieve 2

• Uniform Medical Plan (UMP) High Deductible
