Enrollment Information OPEN ENROLLMENT
PRE-TAX VS POST-TAX DEDUCTIONS
Open Enrollment is from November 29 through December 6, 2021. This is your one time per year to make changes. Even if you are not making changes to your current enrollment, you will still need to complete a Blue Cross enrollment form.
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.
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.
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.
HSA 3000 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.
4
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 though December 31, 2022). 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.
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).
• All changes must be consistent with the qualifying life event.
Each individual who is covered by an Arizona Association of 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.
• In some cases, you may change your benefit plan and modify the level of coverage (such as add or delete a dependent).
The right to continuation of coverage ends at the earliest of the date:
Any changes in benefit levels must be completed within 31 days of the qualifying life event.
• 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
QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTS LIST Marital Status Changes
Covered Dependent Changes
• Marriage • Death of spouse • Divorce • Spouse gains or loses coverage from another source • Spouse employer’s Open Enrollment
• Birth or adoption of a child • Death of dependent child • Dependent becomes ineligible for coverage
• your COBRA Continuation Period expires

Health Savings Account (HSA) If you choose to enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), you will have the option of opening an H.S.A. provided by HealthEquity. An H.S.A. is a tax advantaged savings and spending account that can be used to pay for qualified health care expenses.
THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS TO AN H.S.A.-BASED COVERAGE PLAN: 1. A qualified health plan is the insurance component that provides medical coverage to you and your family. This health plan includes a deductible of $3,000 if you enroll under single coverage with no more than 2 deductibles per family.
Questions? Visit www.healthequity.com or contact HealthEquity at 866.346.5800.
2. An HSA with HealthEquity which can be funded by pre-tax payroll contributions.
HOW AN H.S.A. WORKS: 1. Enroll in the HSA 3000 2. Contribute to your H.S.A. by payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis: • Up to $3,650 for single coverage • Up to $7,300 if you enroll a dependent • An additional $1,000 if you are age 55 or older
The money contributed to the account is yours to keep and will roll over year after year – no ‘use it or lose it’ rule!
3. With your HSA debit card, use your HSA funds to pay for qualified expenses such as: • doctor and hospital visits • chiropractor • dental treatment • hearing aids
• glasses/ contacts • prescriptions • over the counter medicines • menstrual care products
H.S.A. ELIGIBILITY To make tax-free contributions to an H.S.A., the IRS requires that: • You are covered by an H.S.A qualified plan (such as the HSA 3000) • You are not enrolled in any other plan that is not considered a High Deductible Health Plan. • You are not enrolled in Medicare, medical FSA or have other military health benefits.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS Arizona Association of 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 $2,850 in 2022. Arizona Association of 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.
