Voluntary benefits are additional insurance products available for purchase at affordable rates. You also have the advantage of paying for these benefits through convenient, after-tax, payroll deductions. As a new employee, you may purchase many of these coverages without a medical exam. Proof of good health will be required if an existing employee or dependent enrolls at a later time. Furthermore, since you purchase these plans individually, many can be continued should you terminate employment with the school system (with the exception of the disability).
