Benefit Summary Plan Descriptions

A Benefit Summary Plan Description (SPD s) is a comprehensive document, which advises plan participants and their beneficiaries of their rights and obligations under the plan. The document provides a basic written source of data to employees and their beneficiaries on plan benefits, requirements for obtaining benefits and limitations on benefits.

To view the summary plan descriptions click on the appropriate coverage link for health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, flexible spending accounts or 403b retirement account.

The Summary Plan Descriptions are in a PDF format (Acrobat Reader) and bookmarks have been established to assist in navigating through the documents. Once the document is opened, click the Bookmark icon on the toolbar and the bookmarks will appear in a window on the left side of the document. Select the appropriate link for information.
