Fort Bragg Unified School District offers its employees the opportunity to purchase supplemental benefits through American Fidelity. Supplemental benefits are specialized insurance policies that employees may purchase voluntarily. These optional insurance policies do not take away from your regular medical, dental, vision, and life coverages through the district. Instead, they are simply other insurances you may purchase at your option that go above and beyond the coverage already provided under your regular district insurance.
If you choose to sign up for any supplemental coverage through American Fidelity, your premiums may be paid through payroll deduction for convenience.
