Participation in the ICSVEBA is beneficial to both the school districts and their employees. Here are a few of the advantages:

  Combining of the school districts creates a large risk pool and minimizes the effects of a district's unexpected poor claims experience.

  A large single entity has greater purchasing power and more alternatives than available to individual school districts.

  Both Labor and Management have equal representation, and the structure promotes cooperation between all involved.

  By managing our own trust, we are able to be more responsive to the unique health care needs of the Imperial County employees.

  Benefit plans may be portable between school districts.
