Open Enrollment 2011-2012

Open Enrollment for benefits for next year is Monday, April 18 through Friday, May 20.  All changes made during this time will not be effective until Sept. 1, 2011. Below is a link to an important video pertaining to this year's open enrollment process. 

 

Revised TRS-ActiveCare Enrollment Guides for 2011-2012 are currently being distributed to campuses.

 

Important Notes:

�         TRS made a critical change that is directed to employees  that decline coverage for themselves or their dependents.

�         There were major changes to ActiveCare plan 2 and plan 3. (No major changes to plan 1.)

 

Visit BISD's revised benefits website at birdvilleschools.net/benefits. A link to the website can also be found on the staff webpage under "Staff Resources." The benefits website is not the same as the Employee Benefits HUB.  The Employee Benefits HUB is for electing benefits, and the benefits website is for information.
