Eligibility:

All full time PFT, CASA, SPAP and 634 employees are eligible to opt-out of medical insurance.

As of 2/1/2012, applications for new enrollments for Non-represented and ROTC employees will not be processed.  Any application that is received by the Benefits office will be held until a decision has been made regarding the continuation of this program. 

Local 1201 members are ineligible for this benefit as their benefits are provided through 32BJ and the union's Health and Welfare, not the School District of Philadelphia. 

General Information

The Opt-Out program is designed to reimburse employees 25% of the School District of Philadelphia's coverage premium, depending on coverage level, if you can provide proof of alternate insurance.

Enrollment in this program lasts one year.  It is the responsibility of the employee to submit renewal materials by the end of the enrollment year to re-enroll in the program and avoid disruptions in payments.

Application Deadline: There is a rolling deadline of the 16th of the month to enroll for the following month's reimbursement benefit.  EX: An application received by February 16 will be processed for March payments.  Applications received by March 16 will be processed for April payments, and so on.
