Your coverage starts the first day of the month after you have worked half the working days in a month and submitted a completed Benefits Enrollment Form to District HR/Benefits, provided you submit the form by the mid-month payroll cutoff date during the month you enroll. If you submit the Benefits Enrollment Form after the payroll cutoff date, your coverage will start the first day of the second month following the month in which you submit the form.

For example: Let's say you are hired on February 1 and the monthly payroll cutoff date is February 15. If you submit a completed Benefits Enrollment Form by February 15, your coverage will start March 1. If you submit the form later than February 15, your coverage will start April 1.

To find out the exact cutoff date (which varies from month to month), contact District HR/Benefits at (503) 916-3544.
