Certificated Open Enrollment: 5/20/2024 - 5/31/2024

Each year, there is an Open Enrollment period during which Certificated and Management employees can make changes to their health insurance plans, add/remove dependents, or enroll in Voluntary benefits.  An email has been sent to your VUSD account with important information.  Please read this email carefully, as well as the documents attached to it.

It’s very important that you read the Open Enrollment Packet by clicking here.  You can also view a Medical Plan Comparison sheet by clicking here.  

Most premiums (Payroll deductions) will be changing, so please view the new Rate Sheet by clicking here.  These new Payroll deductions will start on your September paycheck (September deduction pays for October benefits).

This year’s Open Enrollment will be “Changes Only.”  That means that you only need to take action if you want to make a change to your benefit plans (change from one plan to another) or change your covered dependents.
