Benefits

• You are responsible for completing online enrollment, even if you decline all coverage, within 30 calendar days after your date of hire. Failure to enroll within this time frame will result in forfeiture of benefits until the next open enrollment period.
• Changes are not permitted unless you experience a qualifying event and request a change of election no later than 30 calendar days after the event. Please review the Guidelines for Change of Electionpdf for additional information.
• Full-Time Employees: Premiums are due beginning on the first day of coverage. Therefore, a delay in enrollment may result in an increased deduction on the first paycheck following successful enrollment in order to collect any premium(s) not previously deducted. The first payroll deduction of premium(s) is determined by the Conroe ISD Pay Schedulepdf (260/261/262-day employeespdf (261-day employeespdf)). You may refer to the Benefits Enrollment/Deduction Schedulepdf for more details on these timelines.
• Part-Time, Substitute, and Temporary Employees: Premiums are due by the 20th day of each preceding month (i.e., November premium due by October 20). If you are enrolling on or after the 20th day of the month, you must submit payment for one calendar month immediately upon completion of your enrollment. All premiums must be mailed to the District’s third party administrator. If you fail to pay the monthly premiums in a timely manner, the District will proceed with the coverage cancellation process. You must work a minimum of 12 hours each week to maintain eligibility for the medical plan. To meet this requirement, substitutes must work a minimum of six full workdays each month. Note: Extended breaks in the school calendar, such as Thanksgiving, winter break, and spring break, that significantly impact the available workdays in a particular month may reduce the minimum six-day requirement for a month.

You do not have to be on the District network to enroll.

Annual enrollment for the 2024-2025 plan year ended July 31, 2024. New enrollment and changes made during the annual enrollment period take effect September 1, 2024.

You may only make changes to your benefits plans outside of annual enrollment if you experience a change in status. For example, marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, death of a covered dependent, a change in your spouse’s employment, or your entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid. You have until 30 calendar days after the event date to make changes that are consistent with the change in status (60 days for Medicaid and CHIP eligibility). Internal Revenue Code and insurance policies do not permit changes outside these time frames. There are no exceptions, so it is important to contact the CISD Benefits Office by email at benefitsoffice@conroeisd.net or by phone at 936-709-7808 as soon as possible once an event occurs. Benefits staff will send you the appropriate change form and i form you of the required documentation to finalize your request within the designated time frame.
