While most of our sponsored plans begin open enrollment in September, we do have some plans that have year-round enrollment, meaning right now you can add, end, or make changes to a selection of our plans.
Plans with Year-Round Enrollment
The following plans have no sign-up period and can be accessed at any point during the year.
Aura Identity Guard
Due to a dramatic increase in digital content, it’s more important now more than ever to invest in cybersecurity.
Through SDPEBA, members can sign up for Aura’s Identity Guard, a program that is designed to protect you and your family’s digital information 24/7. Identity Guard uses machine learning to analyze and stop threats before they cause irreparable harm. This program protects you from fraud, identity theft, ransomware, malware, and phishing attempts. It can even help limit spam phone calls and emails.

Nationwide Pet Insurance
Nationwide offers two forms of Pet Insurance for SDPEBA members, My Pet Protection and My Pet Protection with Wellness. Each of these plans covers a percentage of most veterinary bills, access to a 24/7 vet helpline, and discounts on pet activities/toys. These plans also offer additional coverage for emergency boarding and kennel fees, missing pet advertising/rewards, and theft/stray compensation. Whereas the My Pet Protection with Wellness plan also covers spay/neutering, flea/tick removal, vaccinations, dental cleanings, and more.
For cats and dogs, all you need to do to enroll is click this link and fill in your pet’s information. From there you’ll be able to read your explanation of benefits and get a quote for whichever plan you’re interested in.
For birds, reptiles, rabbits, or exotic pets, you just need to call Nationwide at 888-899-4874.
If you have additional questions you can head to https://sdpeba.org/active-benefits/pet-insurance/ or contact us directly at 888-315-8027.
Purchasing Power
Purchasing Power is an online catalogue similar to Amazon that helps ease the financial burden of large purchases and gets the products in your hands sooner rather than later. Unlike other credit or law-away services, items bought through Purchasing Power do not accrue interest, there are no changes to your rates once you make the purchase, and you are shipped the item as soon as you start making payments.
Note that while Purchasing Power is a great way to budget appropriately when you’re short on cash, it is not a discount service. Items listed on Purchasing Power will end up costing more than if you buy them outright. That being said, Purchasing Power is a great tool to use in order to afford something you need, like a large appliance or a laptop, without having to worry about debt or dipping into your savings.
Enrollment is year-round and you can sign up on their site! Just head to http://www.sdpeba.purchasingpower.com and click the “sign up” button. Fill in your information (for Employer/Organization put in SDPEBA) and then start shopping, it's that easy!
