    Open Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to review your benefits and make selections that will work best for you and your family. Elections made during Open Enrollment are effective for the school year - July 1st - June 30th.

     

    **New for 2023**

    We will be utilizing PowerSchool Employee Records to complete our Open Enrollment Process. 

    This year, everyone will complete the Benefit Election form even if you do not wish to make a change.  This will create an electronic document in your Employee Records portal that you can access/view at any time. 

    Later this year, we will begin using the Employee Records portal for many other personnel items, making it easier to access all of your personnel forms!

    What are my options for Medical, RX, and Dental?

    There are several plan options. Click here to read a summary of all of the coverage options offered here at the Pennsbury School District.

     

    What is the Cafeteria Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?

    Pennsbury offers a way to save for out-of-pocket medical, prescription, dental, vision and daycare expenses on a pre-tax basis through a Section 125 Flexible Spending account.
     
    Enrollment for an FSA is done once a year during the Open Enrollment Period. This program runs from July 1st through June 30th each year, with an extension allowing employees to continue to submit any claim with a date of service within that school year until September 15th.   Flexible Spending Deductions will only be taken out of 21 pay periods even if you receive your pay on a 26 pay basis.
     
    The Internal Revenue Code requires you to complete the Flexible Spending Election each year during Open Enrollment even if you are not changing your elections from the previous year.
     
    You will receive an Optimed card that can be used for eligible expenses.  You also have the option to complete a claim form for reimbursement.  The claim form can be found here on the Human Resources/Benefits webpage.     
     
    You can create an account on  Optimed Health.
