Every full time SEIU employee is eligible for
health care benefits 30 days after their date of hire. Health
insurance premiums are paid 100% by SEIU for both employee and
eligible family members.
Coverage includes medical, dental, vision and
prescription drugs. Medical coverage is provided through Cigna PPO,
however, employees living permanently in DC, MD, VA and CA are able
to elect HMO coverage though Kaiser in lieu of the PPO coverage
though Cigna.
Dental coverage is provided by Delta Dental of
PA, prescription coverage is provided by CVS/Caremark and vision
coverage is provided by Cigna Vision.
Every employee will receive four identification
cards: Cigna or Kaiser, Delta Dental, CVS/Caremark, and Cigna
Vision. Dependents receive only a Cigna or Kaiser card and use the
card with the employees name on it for dental, vision and
prescription services.
Health care benefits terminate on the last day
of the month in which the employee terminates employment. Once
coverage is terminated, employees received a COBRA letter which will
permit the extension of benefits for up to 18 months with the
employee paying their own health insurance premium.

care benefits, please contact Barbara Zeiss at (202)730-7548 or at
