The CSEA Employee Benefit Fund provides vision and dental benefits at no cost to employees who meet the eligibility requirements for participation in the New York State Health Insurance Program. These benefits are available to you and your eligible dependents whether you enroll for individual or family coverage in the health insurance program or decline to participate. Coverage under the CSEA Employee Benefit Fund is not automatic; you must first enroll yourself and your dependents.
Detailed information about eligibility requirements for you and your dependents, covered benefits, and instructions on how to use your plans may be found at the CSEA Employee Benefit Fund.
