FAQs for school administrators

The following frequently asked questions (FAQs) help you understand the SEBB Program and how it affects your school district, educational service district, or charter school.

Why do SEBB organizations pay an employer contribution for employees who waive SEBB coverage?

The formula for insuring SEBB organization employees and their dependents includes an estimated rate of employee waivers. If anticipated waivers weren’t factored in, that uncertainty would need to be funded by raising the amount employers pay  per employee for benefits. The state pools funds to pay for everyone enrolled in the program. Also, keep in mind that employees who waive medical will still receive other benefits.

Why is dependent verification required?

The SEBB Program requires employees to provide documentation that verifies the relationship between the employee and their dependent(s) before they can be enrolled in an employee's SEBB medical, vision, and/or dental coverage.

The E-1 and E-2 worksheets, located on the Eligibility tools and worksheets page, provide guidance on the various types of allowed dependents and the type of documentation needed in order to verify the relationship with the employee.
