Benefits
Midlothian ISD offers a variety of benefit plans for our employees. Medical healthcare plans (BlueCross BlueShield) are provided in conjunction with TRS through the Activecare 1, 1HD, 2, and 3 Program; while the supplemental benefits are orchestrated through our Third Party Administrator, First Financial Group of America.
Employees actively contributing as members of the Teacher Retirement System are eligible to participate in benefits offered by Midlothian ISD.
New Dental & Vision Carriers
The benefits offered for MISD employees have been reviewed and there have been some changes made for the 2011-12 school year. MetLife Dental and Block Vision have been selected as the dental and vision carriers in an effort to provide the best coverage for the same or better rates to our employees. Employees who sign up for 2011-12 dental or vision coverage will pay these premiums in September and may begin using the coverage as soon as October 1, 2011.

New Employees
New employees will receive a benefits packet the same day they finalize their new hire paperwork. Each new employee has 30 days, from the date of employment, to complete their benefit packet, and submit the completed information to the Benefits Office at Midlothian ISD. Participation in the healthcare benefits will be effective on either (1) an employee’s active day of employment or (2) the first of the month following the active day of employment. Most supplemental insurance benefits will be effective on the first of the month following 30 days of employment.
Should a new employee choose not to enroll within the initial 30 day signup, the next opportunity for enrollment will be during the next Annual Enrollment. (Certain special events such as a change in marital status, dependent status or employment status of an employee or spouse, may qualify for an exception to this rule. Contact the Benefits Office for further clarification.)
