The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires the District to collect social security numbers for all dependents enrolled in the employee’s medical plan. The social security numbers are used as identifiers in reporting health insurance coverage to the IRS. Dependents for which social security numbers are not provided may not be enrolled.

IRS rules state that benefit selections may only be changed when an employee experiences a qualifying event or during the Annual Open Enrollment period. The employee must complete an online enrollment via PeopleSoft Employee Self-Service (ESS) and upload the appropriate required documentation. The change must be consistent with the event.

Qualifying Events

Employees who experience a qualifying event must complete their benefits changes within 31-calendar days* from the date of the qualifying event.

* Unless otherwise indicated

For more information and instructions on making changes to your benefits due to a qualifying event visit:

Annual Open Enrollment Period

This is the time to add or remove dependents or change health insurance plans.

Insurance identification (ID) cards are issued directly from the insurance carriers. Processing time usually takes 3-5 weeks after submitting your online benefits enrollment.

If you or a covered dependent need medical attention prior to receipt of your insurance ID cards, please call your medical insurance carrier directly. If the carrier is not showing coverage, contact OEBB (plan administrator) for assistance at 888-469-6322.

The 403(b) Plan is a voluntary (optional) supplemental retirement savings program offered under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and is called the Tax-Sheltered Annuity Plan ("TSA Plan").  

The PPS 403(b) Plan is administered by Carruth Compliance Consulting (CCC).  PPS offers the following types of 403(b) Plans for eligible employees to contribute to:

• Traditional (pre-tax) 403(b) Plan; and
  
• Roth (after-tax) 403(b) Plan, subject to vendor acceptance of such contributions.

All contributions to the PPS 403(b) Plan are made by the employee.  The District does not contribute toward the 403(b) Plan and there is no Employer Match.
