For most employees and their dependents enrollment in the State's Vision Program is automatic.
Permanent-Intermittent (PI) employees must work a minimum of 480 hours in the January-June or July-December control period to be eligible for the vision benefit. Due to this requirement, a STD. 700 Vision Plan Enrollment Authorization must be completed and sent to SCO for processing.
PI employees have 60 days from the end of the control period (June 30th or December 31st) to make an election to enroll in the State's Vision Program.
