Health Benefits Enrollment
The NPS's Fringe Benefits Unit is responsible for enrolling all eligible employees and dependents in the district's Health and Welfare Program. Employees must complete applications at
Benefit Service Office-Room 811
2 Cedar St.
Newark, NJ 07102
Remember the district does not enroll people for vision, dental, and prescription. You must enroll at the Supplemental Fringe Benefits office (see next page).
Ten-month employees who begin employment at the beginning of the school year will receive coverage effective September 1st each school year. Twelve-month employees have a 60-day waiting period from day of hire.
Changes, such as getting married or newly eligible children, must be added within 60 days of the event.
Changing the plan you are enrolled in can only occur during the annual open enrollment period of October 1 through October 31. Coverage changes made during the open enrollment period will become effective January 1 of the following year. You can call either Gail Hardy at 733-7336 or Linda R Daniel at 733-6905 for further information
