2023 Benefits Enrollment
-
Watch the 2023 Benefits Presentation video
During the year, if you need to add or remove coverage for yourself or your dependents, you must wait until the next open enrollment period, unless you have a qualifying life event as defined by the IRS.
The IRS requires that you make changes to your coverage within 30 days of your qualifying life event. You'll need to provide proof of the event, such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, birth certificate or loss of coverage letter. It is your responsibility to notify human resources through the benefits email (benefits@olatheschools.org) or call 913.780.8024.

District contributions to the HSA account are $70.00 on the 15th and the 30th of each month.
