Individuals enrolled in Apple Health (Medicaid), Public Employees Benefits Board, and School Employees Benefits Board coverage - and those accessing behavioral health services - will not experience a disruption in care due to the federal government shutdown. In addition, health care providers will continue to be paid for the services they provide. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and share updates if anything changes.

Plan 1 has the highest annual medical deductible and annual out-of-pocket maximum and the lowest monthly premium of our three plans.
In most cases, you must live or work in the medical plan’s service area to join the plan. All school employees are offered a selection of plans based on their county of residence or the county where their employment location is based. Some school employees may have more plan options if they work in a district that crosses county lines.
If you move out of your plan's service area or change jobs to a different employment location, and your plan is no longer available, you must select a new plan. If you do not, the SEBB Program will enroll you in one. You must report your new address and any request to change your medical plan no later than 60 days after your move.
Plan 2 has a lower annual medical deductible and lower annual out-of-pocket maximum than Plan 1, and a lower monthly premium than Plan 3.
