Expanding coverage beyond employees and their families. We also offer coverage to:

Board Members

Districts that provide coverage for active board members can extend coverage as provided for active members as long as the board member has fulfilled a full four-year term.

Retirees

We have heard it before. We want to take care of our employees who have dedicated years of service to our school but, we do not want to increase our rates due to potentially higher costs for senior healthcare. With ASBAIT Retiree coverage we have eliminated your concern as the financial experience is not part of the district’s experience.

    • The employee must meet the qualifications for retirement under their District’s retirement policy and be covered as an active ASBAIT member immediately preceding their retirement status.
    • No GASB-45 reporting requirements.
