Does RCSD offer life insurance?

What will be my monthly premium costs?
Depending on which scenario you choose, check the applicable rate sheet to find out what your premium cost will be each month.
Can I waive my benefits if I’m covered under my spouse’s insurance?
It is possible to waive benefits if your spouse does not work for the District and has a plan that works better for you. Remember, waiving your benefits means that you will have no dental, vision or life insurance.
How do I update my benefits if I’ve had a qualifying life event?
If you want to make changes to your benefits due to a qualifying life event please email your payroll technician.
Who is eligible for coverage under the VSP vision plan?
The VSP vision plan is only for employees. This plan does NOT cover any dependents.
