  • SEBB offers three dental plans:

    DeltaCare and Willamette, which are managed care plans, which require you to choose a primary care dentist within their network.  The third plan offered is Uniform Dental Plan, which is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), which lets you choose any dental provider, however if you see an in-network (participating) dentist, your out-of-pocket expenses are generally less.

  • Newly eligible employees will be automatically enrolled in employee-paid LTD insurance that covers 60 percent of predisability earnings, with a 90-day benefit waiting period.  At any time, you can reduce to a lower-cost 50-percent coverage level or decline the coverage via your Benefits 24/7. If you later decide to enroll in or increase coverage, you will have to provide evidence of insurability and be approved by the insurer.

    Employees are automatically enrolled in employee-paid LTD insurance coverage at 60% of base pay. Please review supplemental tab in Benefits 24/7 for other available options. Note: Your SEBB long-term disability benefit is different from the state’s new long-term care benefit, which is called The WA Cares Fund

Long Term Care - WA Cares Fund

  • Resource
    Long Term Services and Support Trust Act

    The WA Cares Fund is a public long-term care insurance program. All working Washingtonians contribute a small percentage of their income into the fund.  The current employee contribution rate is 0.58% or .0058 times your gross earnings.  For example, a district employee earning $50,000 per year will see a payroll deduction of $24.17 per month or $290 per year.  

    Benefits of the LTCA:  Qualifying individuals can access services and supports costing up to $36,500 in a lifetime.  Visit this page for more information.

    Learn more about the new benefit

    During the 2022 legislative session, Governor Inslee and the legislature created several exemption pathways for Washington workers who aren’t likely to use their WA Cares benefits in the future. This page details what we know about those exemptions so far, when you can apply and what it means for your WA Cares benefit going forward.

    If you have applied for and received an exemption from the Employment Security Department, please forward a copy of your exemption letter to the Payroll Office ASAP.
