CUSD Employees
Regular, full-time employees working at least 30 hours per week qualify for health benefits. The District contributes a maximum amount, in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreements towards employee health benefits for full-time employees working at least 30 hours per week; pro-rated for part-time employees.
If you choose to enroll your family members, you may select one of the following:
Two-Party Rate: Self and one eligible dependent (Dependents Age out at age 26)
Family Rate: Self and two or more eligible dependents (Dependents Age out at age)
Once you’ve added two or more dependents, additional dependents will not change your premium amount. You can add dependents at the time of your enrollment, during our annual Open Enrollment, or with a qualifying event within 60 days following the life event. Dependents are covered until age 26 and it is your responsibility to notify the Benefits Department.
