All new full-time employees will receive MISD benefit information during their new hire orientation.
All new hires are required to elect their initial benefits with Mr. Cody Tarver, the Account Manager of our third party administrator, First Financial Group of America (FFGA). An email from benefits@manorisd.net will be sent to all new hires with instructions on how to set up an appointment with Mr. Tarver. Although employees may see instructions on how to log into FFGA in the supplemental benefit book, initial benefits are required to be elected through Mr. Cody Tarver.
Each new employee is responsible for enrolling or waiving benefits within 30 days of their start date. Failure to do so could leave the employee and their dependent/s without insurance coverage for the current plan year (September 1, 2024 - August 31, 2025). Once benefits are elected, the commitment to those elections is for the full benefit plan year. Changes to benefits can only be made during the next Open Enrollment or when a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) occurs.
Participation in the healthcare benefits will be effective on either:
- The first of the month following the first active day of employment or;
- The employee's first active day of employment, however, only upon request when electing benefits (premiums are not prorated)
