Benefits

Benefits start on day one for new hires.

The SSD Insurance and Benefits department strives to provide excellent customer service to the District's 6,100+ employees. Our benefits start on day one for new hires and include medical, vision, dental, and life insurance, parental leave, retirement planning, staff health clinics, virtual visits, pet insurance, and wellness through our broad offering of resources and options. Future employees can learn more in our Join SSD section.

SSD staff can access the SSD Gateway for additional resources and information, including the complete Benefits Guide, outlines of all benefit programs, and links to bSwift and other benefit services. We want our staff to understand their benefits fully and take advantage of the variety of services available. Please reach out to our team with your questions. We are here to help.


In response to the federal Transparency in Coverage rule, released on October 29, 2020, please visit Aetna: Machine-Readable Files (effective July 1, 2022) to view machine-readable files regarding healthcare plan pricing and billing information.
