The District School Board of Pasco County automatically provides all eligible employees the following benefits:

HMO Medical (includes pharmacy, behavioral health and substance abuse coverage)
$35,000 Basic Core Term Life
Employee Assistance Program
$150 Annual Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

You may elect to continue the automatically enrolled benefits or select another PPO medical coverage, add dependent coverage, add voluntary benefits or Opt-out of the Board’s health plan. Refer to your benefits enrollment reference guide for more information about your benefits options. It is your responsibility to make changes if you would prefer different or additional benefits. You have two ways to enroll/change your benefits:

Self-enrollment by logging onto the website: www.MyPascoDSBBenefits.com or
Call the Sunbelt Call Center at (800) 822-8045

After the Human Resources Department enrolls you as an active employee of the School Board, eligible for benefits, you will receive a welcome letter from the Employee Benefits Department. The welcome letter will explain how to log-on to the www.MyPascoDSBBenefits.com website and your enrollment deadline.

Note: Certain benefit elections, i.e., Universal Life Insurance or AFLAC voluntary policies and participation in a flexible spending account require that you speak with a licensed insurance agent. You must call the Sunbelt Call Center at (800) 822-8045 to be enrolled in these benefits.

You must accept your benefit elections by clicking on the “accept elections” button at the bottom of your enrollment page to complete your benefits enrollment. Upon completion of your benefits enrollment, print a copy of your enrollment summary, review it for accuracy, and retain it with your benefits materials. If you encounter a problem with your benefits, you will be asked to produce a copy of your enrollment summary before any changes are considered.

A Message from Mary Tillman

The staff in EBARM wants all employees to be healthy, in mind and body, so they can be ready everyday to do their best for our children. Remember as you access health services that the District is self-insured for all medical, pharmacy and mental health services. Therefore, spend wisely, whenever you can use generics, see a primary care doctor instead of a specialist.

Also, take care of yourself, lose weight if you need to, stop smoking, take your medications as prescribed, and get some exercise. This is all good for your mind, body and wallet.
