2 Weeks Remain in Mandatory Annual Open Enrollment Period

The Mandatory Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Annual Open Enrollment Benefits Period is almost over. Employees have until Aug. 31, 2015 to enroll; however, are encouraged to complete your enrollment soon to avoid final day processing delays due to increase volume.   

There will be no exceptions to the Aug. 31 deadline, and employees will not be able to make changes again without a special enrollment event until next summer.  

All returning full-time and half-time employees are required to log on to the benefitsConnect on-line enrollment system and either enroll, confirm, or WAIVE (DECLINE) their TRS-ActiveCare Health Benefits. This mandatory enrollment is new for the 2015-2016 benefit plan year and is required per TRS-ActiveCare and Affordable Care Act regulations.

New hires have 30 days from their first paid day of employment to enroll. Contact the Insurance department at 281-897-4747 or 281-897-4138 with any questions.

Transfers for Children of District Employees

The deadline for full-time district employees to submit a new transfer request for their child is Monday, June 1, 2015. Full-time district employees who are eligible to receive benefits may transfer their child to most schools in the district. This includes students new to CFISD, and/or any student who will be new to a different campus (ex. Pre-K, kindergarten, sixth- and ninth-grade students). 

After June 1, transfer requests will only be accepted for NEW employees, or employees who were reassigned after the June 1 deadline. Transfer forms must be submitted within 10 business days of hire date, or employee’s notification of reassignment.
