The Tamalpais Union High School District provides a health benefits package to certificated staff who work at least 60% of full time and to classified staff who work at least 30 hours per week. Benefits begin on the first day of the month following a 30-day waiting period. The benefits package includes Health/Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance, Vision / Eye Care, Life Insurance and the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

Per District policy, and in accordance with TFT and CSEA collective bargaining agreements, District coverage is required for all eligible staff. TUSHD does not offer cash in lieu as an alternative to taking district coverage.

Double Coverage: If newly employed by TUHSD, but are currently enrolled under a spouse/partner’s plan, you are still required to take the TUHSD benefit package.  As the employee, your TUHSD coverage becomes your primary coverage. Double coverage is allowable, but you will need to work with either Kaiser or Blue Shield to coordinate those benefits. Kaiser does not automatically coordinate double coverage and you will need to contact customer support directly. It is strongly recommended to reach out to Kaiser before seeking care with another other provider.

Please see this link for information on Double Coverage with Delta Dental.
