New Hire Enrollment

Important Information for New Employees

You are responsible for online enrollment, even if you decline all coverage, within 31 calendar days of your date of hire. Failure to enroll within this timeframe will result in forfeiture of benefits until the next open enrollment period.
Benefits are effective the month following your hire date. For example, If your hire date is 5/3/2023 benefits will be effective 6/1/2023.
Benefit deductions will occur on the month benefits are effective. If your benefit elections are submitted after the 15th of the month, the first deduction may be delayed. If this occurs the following month you will receive double deductions.

Please see the Special Enrollment FAQs that explain the process and the documents you will need to provide to add or drop coverage through the district due to a Qualifying Life Event. Please provide this information immediately as this information is extremely time sensitive per IRS and TRS guidelines. Please note: You only have 31 days from the date of the event to make this change.

The TRS BCBS Medical Enrollment form must be completed for medical insurance changes outside of open enrollment. This form should be sent along with the proof for the qualifying event to be processed.

Please ensure that you send all information, including your proof of the Qualifying Event directly to the HPS Benefits Department at benefits@harmonytx.org so that your request is processed timely.

Benefits plan information can be found at the Employee Benefits Center.
