Introduction Whether you are a new employee enrolling in benefits for the first time or considering changes during open enrollment, this guide is designed to help you through the process. Arizona REALTORS® is proud to offer you a broad range of benefit options. You can choose from a number of plans including medical, dental, vision, life insurance and voluntary supplement programs. In addition, we provide health care and dependent care reimbursement accounts to assist employees in managing their out-of-pocket expenses with before-tax dollars. Please take the time to read this information and ask questions so you can make the best benefits decisions for both you and your family.

If you should have any questions: 1. Contact the carrier directly. Phone number and website information is on page 14. 2. Contact Deborah Matzen, 602.248.7787 ext. 1462 or deborahmatzen@aaronline.com This booklet highlights important features of Arizona REALTORS®’s benefits for its benefit eligible employees. While efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented, in the event of any discrepancies, your actual coverage and benefits will be determined by the legal plan documents and the contracts that govern these plans.

Enrollment Information OPEN ENROLLMENT Open Enrollment is from November 21 through December 4, 2023. This is your one time per year to make changes. If you are currently participating in the medical/ dependent FSA, you will need to re-elect an amount for the new plan year. Only PPO 2500 plan participants are eligible to enroll in the Medical FSA. HSA 3200 plan participants are eligible to contribute to the Health Savings Account (HSA) with Health Equity and are not eligible to enroll in the Medical FSA.

NEW EMPLOYEES New Employees have 31 days from your hire date to complete enrollment in the group insurance program. If you have moved from a non-benefits eligible status to a benefits eligible status, you will have 31 days from the new benefits eligible status to complete your enrollment. All insurance coverage starts at the first of the month. Remember, if elections are not made within the 31-day initial period of eligibility, you will be required

to wait until Annual Open Enrollment or until a Qualifying Life Event takes place. Late Enrollees will be required to complete an evidence of insurability form for voluntary life insurance. You may be turned down for these benefits if you do not enroll within your first 31 days as a new hire.

PRE-TAX VS POST-TAX DEDUCTIONS Pre-Tax Dollars: Your insurance premiums are paid with money removed from your gross wages prior to any tax calculations. This reduces your tax liability and is a more efficient way to pay for premiums. Remember, you must choose pre-tax deductions for all your benefits to participate in a flexible spending account. You may elect to opt-out of this method of paying. Post-Tax Dollars: Some insurance premiums may be paid after taxes. Please contact Deborah Matzen for more information related to the specific premiums that are deducted post-tax.

Qualifying Life Event The elections you make during Open Enrollment or at your initial benefits eligibility will remain in effect for the plan year (January 1 through December 31, 2024). During that time, if your life or family status changes according to the recognized events listed below, you are permitted to revise your benefits coverage to accommodate your new status. You may make benefits changes by contacting the Benefits Department and providing the proper documentation. IRS regulations govern under what circumstances you may make changes to your benefits, which benefits you can change and what kinds of changes are permitted. ■

■

All changes must be consistent with the qualifying life event. In some cases, you may change your benefit plan and modify the level of coverage (such as add or delete a dependent).

Any changes in benefit levels must be completed within 31 days of the qualifying life event.

COBRA In most cases, if your employment ends, benefits will terminate on the last day of the month in which you worked. Benefits will end on the day of termination in cases of employee fraud. Through federal legislation known as the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), you may choose to continue coverage by paying the full monthly premium cost plus an administrative charge of 2% (if applicable). Each individual who is covered by an Arizona REALTORS® benefit plan immediately preceding the employee’s COBRA event has the right to continue his or her medical, dental, vision, or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) plan. The right to continuation of coverage ends at the earliest of the date: ■

you, your spouse or dependents become covered under another group health plan; or,

■

you become entitled to Medicare; or,

■

you fail to pay the cost of coverage; or

■

your COBRA Continuation Period expires

QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTS LIST Marital Status Changes Marriage ■ Death of spouse ■ Divorce ■ Spouse gains or loses coverage from another source ■ Spouse employer’s Open Enrollment ■

Covered Dependent Changes Birth or adoption of a child ■ Death of dependent child ■ Dependent becomes ineligible for coverage ■

VOLUNTARY AFLAC PLANS

Arizona REALTORS® offers a health care Flexible Spending Account. A Health FSA is an employer sponsored account that employees use to pay or reimburse their qualified medical expenses, their spouse’s qualified medical expenses or their tax dependents’ qualified medical expenses on a tax free basis. Employees may contribute up to $3,200 in 2024.

American Family Life Assurance Company (AFLAC) is pleased to offer Arizona REALTORS® employees and qualified dependents the opportunity to elect coverage into different Aflac policies. A few things to remember about these policies: ■

■

An AFLAC policy is separate from the other policies listed in this book. Aflac does not replace your medical insurance coverage. AFLAC pays you directly, no matter what other insurance you may have. You can enroll in one or all of the policies and are eligible to participate in these policies the first of the month following date of hire.

To enroll in these policies, you must contact Karen (Jones) Stocking at 602.229.1970.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS

Arizona REALTORS® also offers a dependent care Flexible Spending Account. This is a separate account from the Health FSA. The funds in this account can be used to pay for the care of dependent children under the age of 13, a day care provider, or before or after school programs. It may also be used to care for a disabled spouse, parent or child over the age of 12. The annual contribution limit for a dependent care FSA is $5,000. Money in this FSA is not available until deposited by the employee. Under health or dependent care FSAs, there is a “Use it or Lose it” rule. Employees must use their FSA funds by the end of the plan year or the funds will be forfeited. Unused FSA funds cannot be carried over to the next year. The health and dependent care FSA is administered by WageWorks.
