Benefit elections will become effective 9/1/2016. Elections requiring evidence of insurability, such as Life Insurance, may have a later effective date, if approved. After annual enrollment, benefit changes can only be made if you experience a qualifying event. Changes must be made within 30 days of event.

Your current monthly HSA contribution will rollover to

next plan year unless you make a change to your election during the summer enrollment window.

IMPORTANT: Reminder, the LOW PPO Dental Plan pays

differently when you go to an out-of-network dentist. If you choose to go out-of-network, CIGNA will only reimburse what your dentist charges up to the negotiated in-network level fee. What this could mean to you: high out-of-pocket costs since you will be balance-billed the difference between what your dentist charges and what CIGNA pays. If you use an out-of-network dentist, you may want to consider changing to the High PPO Dental plan (gives you flexibility to use an out-of-network dentist). If you want to stay on the

Low PPO dental plan, go to an in-network dentist. The Low PPO dental plan provides lower premiums and cost-savings due to utilizing in-network dentists since CIGNA negotiates lower fees with in-network providers, making your benefits go further.

Effective 9/1/2016, MDLIVE Telehealth premiums will

change from $10 monthly to a 2 tiered rate: $8 for Employee only & $16 for Employee + Family. DSISD will continue to provide this benefit at no cost for employees/families covered by the TRS AC1HD medical plan or Scott & White.

FSA: If you currently participate in a Healthcare or

Dependent Care FSA, you MUST re-elect a new contribution amount every year to continue to participate. If you contributed last year to the Healthcare FSA and plan to continue, KEEP your FSA Debit card! Remember- Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year and contributions are Use It or Lose It.

Annual Benefit Enrollment

SUMMARY PAGES

Page 7: 2016 Benefit Guide ESC Region 20 - Dripping Springs ISD Version

CHANGES IN STATUS (CIS):

QUALIFYING EVENTS

Marital Status A change in marital status includes marriage, death of a spouse, divorce or annulment (legal separation is not recognized in all states).

Change in Number of Tax Dependents

A change in number of dependents includes the following: birth, adoption and placement for adoption. You can add existing dependents not previously enrolled whenever a dependent gains eligibility as a result of a valid change in status event.

Change in Status of Employment Affecting

Coverage Eligibility

Change in employment status of the employee, or a spouse or dependent of the employee, that affects the individual's eligibility under an employer's plan includes commencement or termination of employment.

Gain/Loss of Dependents' Eligibility Status

An event that causes an employee's dependent to satisfy or cease to satisfy coverage requirements under an employer's plan may include change in age, student, marital, employment or tax dependent status.

Judgment/Decree/Order

If a judgment, decree, or order from a divorce, annulment or change in legal custody requires that you provide accident or health coverage for your dependent child (including a foster child who is your dependent), you may change your election to provide coverage for the dependent child. If the order requires that another individual (including your spouse and former spouse) covers the dependent child and provides coverage under that individual's plan, you may change your election to revoke coverage only for that dependent child and only if the other individual actually provides the coverage.

Eligibility for Government Programs

Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change.

A Cafeteria plan enables you to save money by using pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible group insurance premiums sponsored and offered by your employer. Enrollment is automatic unless you decline this benefit. Elections made during annual enrollment will become effective on the plan effective date and will remain in effect during the entire plan year.

Changes in benefit elections can occur only if you experience a qualifying event. You must present proof of a qualifying event to your Benefit Office within 30 days of your qualifying event and meet with your Benefit/HR Office to complete and sign the necessary paperwork in order to make a benefit election change. Benefit changes must be consistent with the qualifying event.

Section 125 Cafeteria Plan Guidelines

SUMMARY PAGES

7

Page 8: 2016 Benefit Guide ESC Region 20 - Dripping Springs ISD Version

Annual Enrollment

During your annual enrollment period, you have the opportunity

to review, change or continue benefit elections each year.

Changes are not permitted during the plan year (outside of

annual enrollment) unless a Section 125 qualifying event occurs.

Changes, additions or drops may be made only during the

annual enrollment period without a qualifying event.

Employees must review their personal information and verify

that dependents they wish to provide coverage for are

included in the dependent profile. Additionally, you must

notify your employer of any discrepancy in personal and/or

benefit information.

Employees must confirm on each benefit screen (medical,

dental, vision, etc.) that each dependent to be covered is

selected in order to be included in the coverage for that

particular benefit.

New Hire Enrollment

All new hire enrollment elections must be completed in the

online enrollment system within the first 31 days of benefit

eligibility employment. Failure to complete elections during this

timeframe will result in the forfeiture of coverage.

Q&A

Who do I contact with Questions?

For supplemental benefit questions, you can contact your

Benefits/HR department or you can call Financial Benefit Services

at 866-914-5202 for assistance.

Where can I find forms?

For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to the ESC Region

20 BC benefit website: www.esc20bc.net. Click on your school

district, then click on the benefit plan you need information

on (i.e., Dental) and you can find the forms you need under

the Benefits and Forms section.

How can I find a Network Provider?

For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to the ESC Region

20 BC benefit website: www.esc20bc.net. Click on your school

district, then click on the benefit plan you need information

on (i.e., Dental) and you can find provider search links under

the Quick Links section.

When will I receive ID cards?

If the insurance carrier provides ID cards, you can expect to

receive those 3-4 weeks after your effective date. For most

dental and vision plans, you can login to the carrier website

and print a temporary ID card or simply give your provider the

insurance company’s phone number and they can call and

verify your coverage if you do not have an ID card at that

time. If you do not receive your ID card, you can call the

carrier’s customer service number to request another card.

If the insurance carrier provides ID cards, but there are no

changes to the plan, you typically will not receive a new ID

card each year.

TEXAS LIFE

Individual Life YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

Individual life is a policy that provides a specified death benefit to your beneficiary at the time of death. The advantage of having an individual life insurance plan as opposed to a group supplemental term life plan is that this plan is guaranteed renewable, portable and typically premiums remain the same over the life of the policy.

About this Benefit

x 10

Experts recommend at least

your gross annual income in coverage when purchasing life insurance.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the

Life Insurance Highlights

Voluntary permanent life insurance can be an ideal complement to the group term and optional term your employer might provide. Designed to be in force when you die, this voluntary universal life product is yours to keep, even when you change jobs or retire, as long as you pay the necessary premium. Group and voluntary term, on the other hand, typically are not portable if you change jobs and, even if you can keep them after you retire, usually costs more and declines in death benefit. The policy, PureLife-plus, is underwritten by Texas Life Insurance Company, and it has these outstanding features:

High Death Benefit. With one of the highest death benefit available at the worksite,1 PureLife-plus gives your loved ones peace of mind, knowing there will be significant life insurance in force should you die prematurely.

Minimal Cash Value. Designed to provide high death benefit, PureLife-plus does not compete with the cash accumulation in your employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Long Guarantees. Enjoy the assurance of a policy that has a guaranteed death benefit to age 121 and level premium that guarantees coverage for a significant period of time (after the guaranteed period, premiums may go down, stay the same, or go up).

Refund of Premium. Unique in the marketplace, PureLife-plus offers you a refund of 10 years’ premium, should you surrender the policy if the premium you pay when you buy the policy ever increases. (Conditions apply.)

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Should you be diagnosed as terminally ill with the expectation of death within 12 months (24 months in Illinois), you will have the option to receive 92% (84% in Illinois) of the death benefit, minus a $150 ($100 in Florida) administrative fee. This valuable living benefit gives you peace of mind knowing that, should you need it, you can take the large majority of your death benefit while still alive. (Conditions apply.)

You may apply for this permanent, portable coverage, not only for yourself, but also for your spouse, minor children and grandchildren. Like most life insurance policies, Texas Life policies contain certain exclusions, limitations, exceptions, reductions of benefits, waiting periods and terms for keeping them in force. Please contact a Texas Life representative for costs and complete details. 1Voluntary and Universal Whole Life Products, Eastbridge Consulting Group, October 2008

What is an HSA? A tax-advantaged savings account that you use to pay for

eligible medical expenses as well as deductible, co-insurance, prescriptions, vision and dental care.

Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There’s no “use it or lose it” penalty.

Potential to build more savings through investing. If you maintain a minimum balance of $2,000, your additional funds may be invested in mutual funds yielding tax-free earnings.

Additional retirement savings. After you turn 65, or if you become disabled, your HSA account becomes similar to a regular IRA. Withdrawals you use for non-eligible expenses will be taxed at your regular income tax rate but won’t incur additional penalties.

Pre-Paid Debit Card You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept Master Card credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front then wait for reimbursement.

2016 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual: $3,350 Family: $6,750 Catch-Up Contributions: Account holders over the age of 55 who have not yet enrolled in Medicare are eligible to make an additional $1,000 “catch-up” contribution to their HSA.

Will my HSA Funds be Up Fronted to Me? Like a savings account, you can only withdrawal what you’ve contributed to the account. Funds are not up fronted.

Are There Any Monthly Fees?

There is a $2.00 administrative fee that will be deducted from your HSA account on a monthly basis.

Participant Account Web Access: www.nbsbenefits.com A Health Savings Account (HSA) works with a high deductible health plan (HDHP) and lets you set aside a portion of your paycheck - before taxes– into an account to help you pay for medical expenses before you reach your deductible or that you aren’t covered by your plan. It can also help you pay for future medical expenses. *If you enroll in HSA you are no eligible for MEDlink® Gap insurance or an FSA account. A Health Savings Account (HSA):

Grows with you. If you maintain a balance of $2,000, your additional funds may be invested in mutual funds yielding tax-free earnings.

What is a Flexible Spending Account? A Flexible Spending Account allows you to save money by paying out-of-pocket health and/or dependent care related expenses with pre-tax dollars. Your contributions are deducted from your pay before taxes are withheld and your account is up fronted with an annual amount. Because you are taxed on a lower amount of pay, you pay less in taxes and you have more to spend.

How does a Flexible Spending Account Benefit Me? A Cafeteria plan enables you to save money on group insurance, health-related expenses, and dependent-care expenses. You may save as much as 35 percent on the cost of each benefit option! Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year and contributions are use-it-or- lose-it. Remember to retain all your receipts.

What Can I Use My Flexible Spending Account On? For a list of sample expenses, please refer to the ESC Region 20 BC benefit website: www.esc20bc.net A few examples are listed below:

If you received a reimbursement for an expense under the Plan, you cannot claim a Federal income tax credit or deduction on your return. District funded at $516.00 per year- For Employees on AC Select EPO, AC 2, and Scott and White.

General Plan Information Plan Name: Dripping Springs Independent School District HRA Plan Address: 510 West Mercer Street Dripping Springs, TX 78620 Telephone: (521) 858-3007 Tax I.D. Number: 75-6003099 Plan Number: 502 Plan Effective Date: 9/1/2014 Coverage Period End: August 31st Plan Administrator: Dripping Springs Independent School District Company Contact: Tiffany Duncan

Qualified Expenses The plan allows you to be reimbursed for certain out of pocket medical, dental and vision expenses which are incurred by you and your dependents. These would include drugs obtained through a prescription. The expenses, which qualify, are those permitted by Section 213 of the Internal Revenue Code. A list of some of the expenses that qualify is available from the Administrator. If you contribute to a Health Savings Account, the plan allows you to be reimbursed by the Employer for out of pocket preventative care, dental and/or vision deductible expenses incurred by you and your dependents.

Eligibility If you work 10 hours or more each week for the company, you will be eligible to join the Plan as of your date of employment and upon enrollment in our group medical plan. You will enter the Plan on the first day of the month following your date of employment.

Benefit The maximum Employer contribution allowed each year is $516 per Participant.

Benefits Payment During the course of the Coverage Period, you may submit requests for reimbursement of expenses you have incurred. However, you must make your requests for reimbursements no later than 45 days after the end of the Coverage Period. The Administrator will provide you with acceptable forms for submitting these requests for reimbursement. In addition, you must submit to the Administrator proof of the expenses you have incurred and that they have not been paid by any other health plan coverage. If the request qualifies as a benefit or expense that the Plan has agreed to pay, you will receive a reimbursement payment soon thereafter. Remember, reimbursements made from the Plan are generally not subject to federal income tax or withholding. Nor are they subject to Social Security taxes.

Identity Theft

Identity theft can strike anyone, at any time. More than 11 million Americans were victimized by identity theft in 2011, including more than 500,000 children.

Identity theft devastates its victims financially. The average victim will lose $4,841, and spend an additional $1,400 in out-of-pocket expenses resolving their case.

Repairing the damage caused by identity theft is frustrating and time consuming. The average victim spends 330 hours repairing the damage from identity theft—the equivalent of working a full-time job for more than 2 months.

The impact of identity theft follows victims for years. 50% of identity theft victims experience trouble getting loans or credit cards as a result of identity theft. 12% of identity theft victims end up having warrants issued by law enforcement in their name for crimes committed by the identity thief.
