Benefits

The goal of the South Dakota State Employee Benefits Program is to offer quality, affordable health care and flexible benefits plan options to all employees. When combined with the LiveWellSD and Employee Assistance Programs, State employees have all of the resources and options necessary to make informed health care decisions and healthier life choices.

Eligible State employees and their families will have access to four options including a zero deductible health plan, a low deductible health plan, and two high deductible health plans. Information on these and more can be found here.
