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 - Rusk ISD

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 your school

district’s benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/ruskisd.

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 your school

district’s benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/ruskisd.

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.

A Health Savings Account is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to employees who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan. The funds contributed to the account are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), funds roll over and accumulate year to year if not spent.

About this Benefit

HSA (Health Savings Account)

The interest earned in an HSA is tax free.

DID YOU KNOW?

Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.

HSA (Health Savings Account)

HSA Bank has teamed up with your employer to create an affordable health coverage option that helps you save on healthcare expenses. This plan is only available for those who are participating in the Active Care 1-HD medical plan. You may not participate in the FSA plan if you participate in HSA. Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare participants are not eligible to participate in an HSA. You can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for a wide range of IRS-qualified medical expenses for yourself, your spouse or tax dependents. An IRS-qualified medical expense is defined as an expense that pays for healthcare services, equipment, or medications. Funds used to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses are always tax-free.

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. Allows you to save while reducing your taxable income.

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

A way to accumulate additional retirement savings. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty.

Using Funds Debit Card

You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept VISA credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front and wait for reimbursements.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individually-owned, tax-advantaged account that you can use to pay for current or future IRS-qualified medical expenses. With an HSA, you’ll have the potential to build more savings for healthcare expenses or additional retirement savings through self-directed investment options1.

How an HSA works: You can contribute to your HSA via payroll deduction,

online banking transfer, or by sending a personal check to HSA Bank. Your employer or third parties, such as a spouse or parent, may contribute to your account as well.

You can pay for qualified medical expenses with your HSA Bank Debit Card directly to your medical provider or pay out-of-pocket. You can either choose to reimburse yourself or keep the funds in your HSA to grow your savings.

Unused funds will roll over year to year. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty (subject to ordinary income taxes).

Check balances and account information via HSA Bank’s Internet Banking 24/7.

Are you eligible for an HSA? If you have a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) - either through your employer, through your spouse, or one you’ve purchased on your own - chances are you can open an HSA. Additionally:

You cannot be covered by any other non-HSA-compatible health plan, including Medicare Parts A and B.

You cannot be covered by TriCare.

You cannot have accessed your VA medical benefits in the past 90 days (to contribute to an HSA).

You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return (unless it’s your spouse).

You must be covered by the qualified HDHP on the first day of the month.

When you open an account, HSA Bank will request certain information to verify your identity and to process your application.

What are the annual IRS contribution limits? Contributions made by all parties to an HSA cannot exceed the annual HSA limit set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Anyone can contribute to your HSA, but only the accountholder and employer can receive tax deductions on those contributions. Combined annual contributions for the accountholder, employer, and third parties (i.e., parent, spouse, or anyone else) must not exceed these limits2.

2016 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual = $3,350 Family = $6,750

Catch-up Contributions Accountholders who meet these qualifications are eligible to make an HSA catch-up contribution of $1,000: Health Savings accountholder; age 55 or older (regardless of when in the year an accountholder turns 55); not enrolled in Medicare (if an accountholder enrolls in Medicare mid-year, catch-up contributions should be prorated). Authorized signers who are 55 or older must have their own HSA in order to make the catch-up contribution. According to IRS guidelines, each year you have until the tax filing deadline to contribute to your HSA (typically April 15 of the following year). Online contributions must be submitted by 2:00 p.m., Central Time, the business day before the tax filing deadline. Wire contributions must be received by noon, Central Time, on the tax filing deadline, and contribution forms with checks must be received by the tax filing deadline.

How can you benefit from tax savings? An HSA provides triple tax savings3. Here’s how:

Contributions to your HSA can be made with pre-tax dollars and any after-tax contributions that you make to your HSA are tax deductible.

HSA funds earn interest and investment earnings are tax free.

When used for IRS-qualified medical expenses, distributions are free from tax.

IRS-Qualified Medical Expenses You can use your HSA to pay for a wide range of IRS-qualified medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, or tax dependents. An IRS-qualified medical expense is defined as an expense that pays for healthcare services, equipment, or medications. Funds used to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses are always tax-free. HSA funds can be used to reimburse yourself for past medical expenses if the expense was incurred after your HSA was established. While you do not need to submit any receipts to HSA Bank, you must save your bills and receipts for tax purposes.

Investment losses which are replaced are subject to the annual contribution limits of the HSA. 2 HSA funds contributed in excess of these limits are subject to penalty and tax unless the excess and earnings are withdrawn prior to the due date, including any extensions for filing Federal Tax returns. Accountholders should consult with a qualified tax advisor in connection with excess contribution removal. The Internal Revenue Service requires HSA Bank to report withdrawals that are considered refunds of excess contributions. In order for the withdrawal to be accurately reported, accountholders may not withdraw the excess directly. Instead, an excess contribution refund must be requested from HSA Bank and an Excess Contribution Removal Form completed. 3 Federal Tax savings are available no matter where you live and HSAs are taxable in AL, CA, and NJ. HSA Bank does not provide tax advice. Consult your tax professional for tax‐related questions. 4 This list is not comprehensive. It is provided to you with the understanding that HSA Bank is not engaged in rendering tax advice. The information provided is not intended to be used to avoid Federal tax penalties. For more detailed information, please refer to IRS Publication 502 titled, “Medical and Dental Expenses”. Publications can be ordered directly from the IRS by calling 1-800-TAXFORM. If tax advice is required, you should seek the services of a professional. 5 Insurance premiums only qualify as an IRS-qualified medical expense: while continuing coverage under COBRA; for qualified long-term care coverage; coverage while receiving unemployment compensation; for any healthcare coverage for those over age 65 including Medicare (except Medicare supplemental coverage).

This includes eyeglass frames which exceed the selected benefit coverage, specialty lenses (i.e. progressives) and lens “extras” such as tints and coatings. Eyewear purchased from a Walmart Vision Center does not qualify for this additional discount because of Walmart’s “Always Low Prices” policy.

The Plan discount features are not insurance. All allowances are retail; the member is responsible for paying the provider directly for all non-covered items and/or any amount over the allowances, minus available discounts. These are not covered by the plan. Discounts are subject to change without notice. Disclaimer: All final determinations of benefits, administrative duties, and definitions are governed by the Certificate of Insurance for your vision plan.

Benefit Highlights Rusk ISD

What is Voluntary Life Insurance?

Voluntary Life Insurance is coverage that you pay for. Voluntary Life Insurance pays your beneficiary (please see below) a benefit if you die while you are covered. This highlight sheet is an overview of your Voluntary Life Insurance. Once a group policy is issued to your employer, a certificate of insurance will be available to explain your coverage in detail.

Am I eligible? You are eligible if you are an active full time employee who works at least 20 hours per week on a regularly scheduled basis.

When is it effective? Coverage goes into effect subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. You must be actively at work with your employer on the day your coverage takes effect.

How much Voluntary Life Insurance can I purchase?

You can purchase Voluntary Life Insurance in increments of $10,000. The maximum amount you can purchase cannot be more than the lesser of 7 times your annual Earnings or $500,000. Annual Earnings are as defined in The Hartford’s contract with your employer.

Am I guaranteed coverage?

If you are newly eligible and elect an amount that exceeds the guaranteed issue amount of $150,000, you will need to provide evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to The Hartford before the excess can become effective. If you were previously eligible and are electing coverage for the first time or electing to increase your current coverage, you will need to provide evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to The Hartford before coverage can become effective.

What is a beneficiary?

Your beneficiary is the person (or persons) or legal entity (entities) who receives a benefit payment if you die while you are covered by the policy. You must select your beneficiary when you complete your enrollment application; your selection is legally binding.

Are there other limitations to enrollment?

If you do not enroll within 31 days of your first day of eligibility, you will be considered a late entrant. Typically, late entrants may need to show evidence of insurability and may be responsible for the cost of physical exams or other associated costs if they are required. This coverage, like most group benefit insurance, requires that a certain percentage of eligible employees participate. If that group participation minimum is not met, the insurance coverage that you have elected may not be in effect.

Spouse Voluntary Life Insurance

If you elect Voluntary Life Insurance for yourself, you may choose to purchase Spouse Voluntary Life Insurance in increments of $5,000, to a maximum of $100,000. Coverage cannot exceed 50% of the amount of your Employee voluntary/supplemental life insurance coverage. You may not elect coverage for your spouse if they are in active full-time military service or is already covered as an employee under this policy. If your spouse is confined in a hospital or elsewhere because of disability on the date his or her insurance would normally have become effective, coverage (or an increase in coverage) will be deferred until that dependent is no longer confined and has performed all the normal activities of a healthy person of the same age for at least 15 consecutive days. If you are newly eligible and elect an amount that exceeds the guaranteed issue amount of $50,000, your spouse will need to provide evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to The Hartford before the excess can become effective. If you were previously eligible and are electing coverage for the first time or electing to increase your spouse's current coverage, your spouse will need to provide evidence of insurability that is satisfactory to The Hartford before coverage can become effective .

Voluntary Group Term Life and AD&D

Child(ren) Voluntary Life Insurance

If you elect Voluntary Life Insurance for yourself, you may choose to purchase Child(ren) Voluntary Life Insurance coverage in the amount(s) of $10,000 for each child – no medical information is required.

If your dependent child(ren) is confined in a hospital or elsewhere because of disability on the date his or her insurance would normally have become effective, coverage (or an increase in coverage) will be deferred until that dependent is no longer confined and has performed all the normal activities of a healthy person of the same age for at least 15 consecutive days.

Does my coverage reduce as I get older? By 35% @ 70, 55% of Original @ 75, 70% of Original @ 80, 80% of Original @ 85, 85% of Original @ 90. All coverage cancels at retirement.

Can I keep my life coverage if I leave my employer?

Yes, subject to the contract, you have the option of:

Converting your group life coverage to your own individual policy (policies).

If you leave your employer, portability is an option that allows you to continue your life insurance coverage. To be eligible, you must terminate your employment prior to Social Security Normal Retirement Age. This option allows you to continue all or a portion of your life insurance coverage under a separate portability term policy. Portability is subject to a minimum of $5,000 and a maximum of $250,000 and does include coverage for your spouse and child(ren).

A Cafeteria Plan is designed to take advantage of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. It allows you to pay certain qualified expenses on a pre-tax basis, thereby reducing your taxable income. You can set aside a pre-established amount of money per plan year in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Funds allocated to a healthcare FSA must be used during the plan year or are forfeited unless your plan contains a $500 rollover or grace period provision.

Unlimited FSA (Non HSA Compatible) The funds in the unlimited healthcare FSA can be used to pay for eligible medical expenses like deductibles, co-payments, orthodontics, glasses and contacts.

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-roll $500. Remember to retain all your receipts.

Health Care Expense Account Example Expenses:

Dependent Care Expense Account Example Expenses: Before and After School and/or Extended Day Programs

The actual care of the dependent in your home.

Preschool tuition.

The base costs for day camps or similar programs used as care for a qualifying individual.

What Can I Use My Flexible Spending Account On? For a full list of eligible expenses, please refer to www.mybenefitshub.com/ruskisd

What Happens If I Don’t Use All of My Funds by The End of the Plan Year (August 31st)? Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year +75 day grace period. Contributions are use-it-or-roll $500. Remember to retain all your receipts (including receipts for card swipes).

How Do I File A Claim? In most situations, you will be able to swipe your card however, in the event you lose your card or are waiting to receive one, you can visit www.mybenefitshub.com/ruskisd and complete the “Claim Form” to send to NBS or use the web or phone app to file online.

How the FSA Plan Works

You designate an annual election of pre-tax dollars to be deposited into your health and dependent-care spending accounts. Your total election is divided by the number of pay periods in the Plan year and deducted equally from each paycheck before taxes are calculated. By the end of the Plan year, your total election will be fully deposited. However, you may make a claim for eligible health FSA expenses as soon as they are incurred during the Plan year. Eligible claims will be paid up to your total annual election even if you have not yet contributed that amount to your account.

Get Your Money 1. Complete and sign a claim form (available on our website) or an online claim. 2. Attach documentation; such as an itemized bill or an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement from a health insurance provider. 3. Fax or mail signed form and documentation to NBS. 4. Receive your non-taxable reimbursement after your claim is processed either by check or direct deposit.

NBS Flexcard—FSA Pre-paid Benefit Card Your employer may sponsor the use of the NBS Flexcard, making access to your flex dollars easier than ever. You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front then wait for reimbursement.

Enrollment Considerations After the enrollment period ends, you may increase, decrease, or stop your contribution only when you experience a qualifying “change of status” (marriage status, employment change, dependent change). Be conservative in the total amount you elect to avoid forfeiting money that may be left in your account at the end of the year. Your employer may allow a short grace period or rollover after the Plan year ends for you to submit qualified claims for any unused funds. If you choose to enroll in the HSA you are not eligible to enroll in the FSA.
