*Full Time Hired After 7/31/2016
CARS BENFIT SNAPSHOT *For Full-Time Employees
Paid Time Off (PTO)
CARS’ provides Paid Time Off (PTO) benefits to full time staff. Accrual of PTO is based on years of service and job classifications as follows: Non-Exempt Staff:
• 0-3 years = 8.75 hours per month
• 3-6 years = 11.75 hours per month
• 6+ years = 15.00 hours per month Exempt Staff:
• 0-2 years = 11.75 hours per month
• 2+ years = 15.00 hours per month
Holiday Time
CARS’ offers ten (10) paid Holidays per year in accordance with the schedule established by the CARS Management Team. Holiday pay is limited to 7 hours per holiday. Staff working the designated agency holidays will be compensated at “time and one-half”. In addition, they will still be able to take another paid day off for the holiday.
Health Insurance
CARS’ sponsors a “platinum” group health insurance plan through Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield of Central New York. CARS’ pays for a portion of the premium based on the employee’s length of service and employment. Employees are eligible to enroll the 1st day of the month after their hire date. If you choose not to enroll, you will only be allowed to enroll during our open enrollment period in late November for coverage beginning the 1st of the new year unless you experience a qualifying life event. Premiums can be deducted on a per-tax bais if the employee chooses to particiate in the Premium Only Plan outlined below. A detailed plan summary and premium rate sheet is available upon request.
Dental Insurance
CARS’ sponsors a “platinum” group health insurance plan through Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield of Central New York. CARS’ pays for a portion of the premium based on the employee’s length of service and employment. Employees are eligible to enroll the 1st day of the month after their hire date. If you choose not to enroll, you will only be allowed to enroll during our open enrollment period in late November for coverage beginning the 1st of the new year unless the employee experiences a qualifying life event. Premiums can be deducted on a per-tax basis if the employee chooses to participate in the Premium Only Plan outlined below. A detailed plan summary and premium rate sheet is available upon request.
*Full Time Hired After 7/31/2016
Premium Only Plan
Employees can choose to have health and dental insurance premiums withheld from pay on a pre-tax basis. Estimated savings from utilizing this plan are approximately 28% of the total premium.
Life Insurance
CARS’ sponsors a group life insurance plan that offers $100,000.00 of term life insurance coverage. Employees are eligible to enroll the 1st day of the month after their hire date. If the employee declines enrollment at the time of hire, and wants to enroll at a later date, the employee’s application for enrollment will undergo medical underwriting by the insurance carrier. This means the employee will be asked to provide specific medical information to the carrier and the employee may be refused participation in the plan. Premiums are $2.50 per payroll period, deducted from pay on an after-tax basis. In accordance with IRS guidelines, the cost of life insurance provided by an employer in excess of $50,000.00 is taxable to the employee. However, the taxable portion is reduced by total premiums paid by the employee. This additional tax withholding is included on a payroll check during the month of December each year the employee is enrolled in the plan.
Enhance NYS Disability
NYS requires employers to carry disability insurance on its employees to provide a cash benefit in the event an employee becomes disabled as a result of a non-work-related accident, injury or illness. The minimum requirement for employers is to provide benefits of 50% of average weekly wages with a maximum benefit of $170 per week for up to 26 weeks. CARS’ provides an Enhanced NYS Disability policy for its employees that provides a benefit of 60% of average weekly wages with a maximum benefit of $250 per week for up to 26 weeks. CARS’ provides Enhanced NYS Disability coverage for its employees at no charge. Coverage begins with the first day of employment.
Long-Term Disability
CARS’ sponsors a long-Term Disability plan that provides cash benefits after an employee has been disabled for at least 6 months (when coverage under the Enhanced NYS Disability policy has reached the maximum allowed). Employees are eligible to enroll the 1st day of the month after their hire date. Premiums are $2.50 per payroll period, deducted from pay on an after-tax basis. If the employee declines enrollment at the time of hire, and wants to enroll at a later date, the employee’s application for enrollment will undergo medical underwriting by the insurance carrier. This means the employee will be asked to provide specific medical information to the carrier and the employee may be refused participation in the plan.
*Full Time Hired After 7/31/2016
401K Retirement Plan
CARS’ sponsors a 401 (k) retirement plan administered by Benefit Plans Administrative Services (BPAS). Employees may contribute to the plan on a pre-tax basis beginning with the first day of employment. *CARS’ provides a match of all employee funds invested in the plan after completion of one year of service that consists of at least 1000 hours. Employees must be at least 21 years of age to receive the matching contribution. Matching contributions by CARS are made according to a schedule that is based on years of service and employment classification.
Non-Exempt *1-2 years 30%
3-5 years 40%
5+ years 50%
Exempt *1-2 years 50%
3-5 years 60%
5+ years 70%

EAP services are available by calling an intake coordinator at 1-607-273-7494. Please let the intake coordinator know you are a staff member at CARS.
Medical Flexible Spending Plan
CARS’ sponsors a Medial Flexible Spending Plan (FSA) to allow employees to set aside funds on a pre-tax basis to cover expenses not cover by medical insurances. The maximum amount allowed under IRS regulations is $2,700.00 per year. CARS’ makes a $250.00 contribution to the FSA on behalf of the employee. The full contribution occurs on January 1st of each year. For employees hired after January 1st, they will receive a pro-rated contribution on the 1st of the month after their hire and if they sign up for the FSA plan.
Family and Medical Leave
CARS’ provides Family and Medical Leave (FML) for employees who have worked for CARS for at least 12-months and have worked at least 1,250 hours in the 12-month period. A maximum of 12 weeks FML is available when there is a qualifying event, such as:

Important Notice from Ithaca Alpha House Center, Inc. About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Ithaca Alpha House Center, Inc. and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.
There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:
1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get thiscoverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO orPPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level ofcoverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.
2. Ithaca Alpha House Center, Inc. has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by Excellus BlueCross Blue Shield is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicareprescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existingcoverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if youlater decide to join a Medicare drug plan.
When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th to December 7th.
However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.
What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Ithaca Alpha House Center, Inc. coverage will be affected. See pages 7- 9 of the CMS Disclosure of Creditable Coverage To Medicare Part D Eligible Individuals Guidance (available at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/CreditableCoverage), which outlines the prescription drug plan provisions and options that Medicare eligible individuals may have available to them when they become eligible for Medicare Part D.
If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Ithaca Alpha House Center, Inc. coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to get this coverage back. To confirm, check with your Human Resources department.

When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with Ithaca Alpha House Center, Inc. and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.
If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.
For More Information About This Notice Or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage…
Contact the person listed below for further information. NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through Ithaca Alpha House Center, Inc. changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time.
For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage…
More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans.
For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage: Visit www.medicare.gov Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the
“Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty).

New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options and Your Health Coverage
Form Approved OMB No.
PART A: General Information When key parts of the health care law take effect in 2014, there will be a new way to buy health insurance: the HealthInsurance Marketplace. To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the new Marketplace and employmentbased health coverage offered by your employer.
What is the Health Insurance Marketplace? The Marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. The
Marketplace offers "one-stop shopping" to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible
for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premium right away. Open enrollment for health insurance
coverage through the Marketplace begins in October 2013 for coverage starting as early as January 1, 2014.
Can I Save Money on my Health Insurance Premiums in the Marketplace? You may qualify to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if your employer does not offer coverage, or
offers coverage that doesn't meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you're eligible for depends on
your household income.
Does Employer Health Coverage Affect Eligibility for Premium Savings through the Marketplace? Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible
for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer's health plan. However, you may be
eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, or a reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does
not offer coverage to you at all or does not offer coverage that meets certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your
employer that would cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5% of your household
income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the "minimum value" standard set by the
Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.1
Note: If you purchase a health plan through the Marketplace instead of accepting health coverage offered by your
employer, then you may lose the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer
contribution -as well as your employee contribution to employer-offered coverage- is often excluded from income for
Federal and State income tax purposes. Your payments for coverage through the Marketplace are made on an after-
tax basis.
How Can I Get More Information? For more information about your coverage offered by your employer, please check your summary plan description or
contact Susan Oaks, CARS’ Chief Financial Officer @ (607) 387-5535 X14 or [email protected].
The Marketplace can help you evaluate your coverage options, including your eligibility for coverage through the
Marketplace and its cost. Please visit HealthCare.gov for more information, including an online application for health
insurance coverage and contact information for a Health Insurance Marketplace in your area.
1 An employer-sponsored health plan meets the "minimum value standard" if the plan's share of the total allowed benefit costs covered
by the plan is no less than 60 percent of such costs.
Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options
PART B: Information About Health Coverage Offered by Your Employer This section contains information about any health coverage offered by your employer. If you decide to complete an
application for coverage in the Marketplace, you will be asked to provide this information. This information is numbered to correspond to the Marketplace application.
1. Employer nameIthaca Alpha House Center, Inc. DBA Cayuga Addiction Recovery Services
2. Employer Identification Number (EIN)16-0991369
3. Employer addressPO Box 724
4. Employer phone number(607)391-1022
5. CityTrumansburg
6. StateNY
7. ZIP code14886
8. Who can we contact about employee health coverage at this job?Lydia Wickham, Director of Human Resources
9. Phone number (if different from above) 10. Email [email protected]
Here is some basic information about health coverage offered by this employer:
• As your employer, we offer a health plan to:
All employees
Some employees
Eligible employees are: Employees who have completed 90 days of full time employment
• With respect to dependents:
We do offer coverage
Eligible dependents are: Spouse and/or domestic partner and eligible dependents to age 26
We do not offer coverage.
If checked, this coverage meets the minimum value standard, and the cost of this coverage to you is intended
to be affordable, based on employee wages.
** Even if your employer intends your coverage to be affordable, you may still be eligible for a premium discount through the Marketplace. The Marketplace will use your household income, along with other factors, to determine whether you may be eligible for a premium discount. If, for example, your wages vary from week to week (perhaps you are an hourly employee or you work on a commission basis), if you are newly employed mid-year, or if you have other income losses, you may still qualify for a premium discount.
