2025 Benefits
2025 Benefit Guide
Medical Coverage Opt-Out
Green Dot Public Schools provides an opt-out payment for employees who choose to decline the medical coverage. If you would like to waive medical coverage for the 2025 plan year and qualify for the waiver incentive, please complete the Attestation Form located in Workday. Please be sure to sign the form after you submit your elections to receive a monthly opt-out payment of $250.00.
Important Information for Current Waive Incentive Recipients:
- You must actively waive coverage and elect to receive the credit.
- This coverage does not automatically rollover.
- If you do not actively waive coverage, it will be dropped, and you will not be able to enroll again until the next open enrollment period.
Anthem offers access to one of the largest national networks of dental providers, making it easy to keep your current dentist or find one conveniently located near your home or workplace. With Anthem Dental, you can save money by visiting one of Anthem’s network dentists, benefiting from an average national network discount of 40%.
Similarly, Anthem Vision provides you with access to a broader network of over 40,000 eye doctors and other eye care providers at more than 30,000 locations nationwide.
