Dental Insurance
Jackson County offers full-time, and part-time employees who are scheduled to work 20 hours a week or more, a dental insurance plan administered by SISCO.
Enrolling/Making Changes
Employees have 30 days from their date of hire or 30 days from the date of a qualifying life event to make changes to their dental insurance policies.
Qualifying Life Events
If you experience a qualifying life event, you must notify Human Resources at 563-652-1710 to make changes to your dental policy within 30 days of the event. Qualifying events include, but are not limited to:
- Change in your marital status (marriage, divorce, or legal separation)

- Loss or gain of eligibility for insurance coverage for you or a covered dependent
If you miss the 30-day deadline, no changes can be made unless you have another qualifying life event or during open enrollment.
Open Enrollment
Jackson County offers an Open Enrollment period in May every year to review employee benefits. Any changes or updates made during Open Enrollment will be effective July 1st that year.
