INTRODUCTION Whether you are a new employee enrolling into your benefits for the first time or considering your benefits during open enrollment, this guide is designed to help you through the process. Palo Verde Elementary School District 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 supplemental 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 yourself and your family.

If you should have any questions: 1. Contact the carrier directly. Phone number and website information is on page 19. 2. Contact Sandi Wilson at swilson@pvesd.org, Jody Stanberry at jstanberry@pvesd.org, or either of them by phone at 623.327.3690. This booklet highlights important features of Palo Verde Elementary School District’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

PRE-TAX VS POST-TAX DEDUCTIONS

Open Enrollment is from April 25th through May 6th, 2022. This is your one time per year to make changes.

Pre-Tax Dollars: Your insurance premiums are paid with money deducted 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.

All benefit eligible employees are required to elect coverage this year using the online enrollment platform. If you do not want to make changes from the current plan year, you do not need to complete the online enrollment questionnaire indicating your desire to keep your current elections in-force as your current elections will roll over into the 2022/23 plan year. NEW EMPLOYEES

Post-Tax Dollars: Some insurance premiums may be paid after taxes are deducted from your gross pay. Please contact Sandi Wilson or Jody Stanberry for more information related to the specific premiums that are deducted post-tax.

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 date 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.

Palo Verde Elementary School District

Qualifying Life Event The elections that you make during Open Enrollment or at initial benefits eligibility will remain in effect for the plan year (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023). During that time, if your life or family status changes as per 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 which circumstances allow you to make changes to your benefits, which benefits you can change and what kinds of changes are permitted.

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

• All changes must be consistent with the qualifying life event. • In most cases, you cannot change your benefit plan, but may modify the level of your coverage (in other words, you can add or delete dependents, enroll or dis-enroll yourself or dependents, but not switch insurance carriers or plans). 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 stopped working. 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 a Palo Verde Elementary School District benefit plan immediate-

ly 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.

**If you have Family coverage under the HDHP 1500, the Family Deductible must be satisfied before the plan will pay any benefits.

Health Savings Account (H.S.A.) 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 for you and your family. This health plan includes a deductible of $1,500 - $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 - $4,000 for family coverage.

2. An H.S.A. with HealthEquity which can be funded by pre-tax payroll contributions from you, the district, or both.

The district contributes $2,022 annually to an employee’s H.S.A. when enrolled in the HDHP.

HOW AN H.S.A. WORKS: The money contributed to the account is yours to keep and will roll over year after year – no ‘use it or lose it’ rule!

1. Enroll in the HDHP 1500 offered by the district. 2. Contribute to your H.S.A. by payroll deductions: Up to $3,650 for an individual or $7,300 for a family 3. With your H.S.A. debit card, use those funds to pay for qualified expenses such as: • • • •

copays deductibles doctors, hospitals chiropractor

• • • •

dental treatment hearing aids glasses/ contacts prescriptions

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 HDHP 1500) • You have no other health coverage (such as other health plan, Medicare, military health benefits, medical FSA) • You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s taxes

Disability Information Disability coverage can be one of the most important benefits you have. It provides you and your family with financial protection if you are ever unable to work due to an illness or non-work related injury. LONG TERM DISABILITY All employees who work 20 or more hours per week for 20 weeks per year will pay premiums through mandatory contributions to Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) for Long Term Disability (LTD). Elimination period:

180 Days

Benefit Amount:

66 2/3% of monthly base salary as determined by ASRS

Palo Verde Elementary School District pays 100% of the cost of the Term Life.

Life / AD&D Insurance BASIC LIFE INSURANCE AND AD&D

DEPENDENT LIFE / AD&D INSURANCE

Palo Verde Elementary School District pays 100% of the cost of this Lincoln Group Term Life Insurance Plan.

You can also elect to purchase life insurance for your spouse or children.

Coverage for each benefit eligible employee is $30,000. Life insurance provides protection for those who depend on you financially. Your need varies greatly due to age, number of dependents, dependent ages and your financial situation. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) benefits provide a benefit to you or your beneficiary if you are seriously injured or die in an accident.

• Spouse $10,000 • Children Age 14 days to 6 months: $500 Age 6 months to 19 years (to age 23 if full-time student): $5,000

Flexible Spending Accounts The Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) and the Dependent Care Spending Account (DCSA) allow you to reduce your taxable income by paying for out-of-pocket health care and dependent day care expenses with pre-tax dollars. Since these accounts are to be used for predictable expenses, careful planning is required. Please Note: Employees will become eligible to participate effective July 1st following completion of an agreement (classified) or contract year (certified). HEALTH CARE SPENDING ACCOUNT (HCSA) How it Works: • You make before-tax deposits (via payroll deductions) to your HCSA. • You can deposit from $100 to $2,850 per year. • Eligible expenses for both you and eligible family members are covered. You or your family members do NOT have to be enrolled in PVESD’s health insurance to participate in the Health Care Spending Account. • When you or an eligible family member has a medical expense, you pay for the expense via debit card. • All expenses must be incurred between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 while you are employed. • If your employment terminates or you change to non-benefit-eligible status, your “plan year” will end effective the last day of the month in which the change occurred. Eligible expenses must be incurred before that date. • If you do not use the money in this account through the plan year, the maximum that can be rolled over to the next year is $570.

DEPENDENT CARE SPENDING ACCOUNT (DCSA) How it Works: You make before-tax deposits (via payroll deduction) to your Dependent Care Spending Account. You can deposit from $100 to $5,000 per year. In some cases, your maximum allowed annual contribution may be less than $5,000. For example: • If you are married and your spouse contributes to a similar account, your combined contributions may not exceed $5,000 per year. • If you are married but file separate tax returns, your annual contribution is limited to $2,500. • Your contributions cannot exceed the amount of your income or your spouse’s income, whichever is lower. • Expenses for DCSA must be incurred between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023. • If you do not use the money in this account through the plan year, the balance will be forfeited. • For reimbursement of an eligible expense, you pay the bill and then submit a claim form for reimbursement.

You must include an original receipt from your dependent care provider and report the provider’s taxpayer ID. IRS RULES FOR ALL FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS • Your deposit amount cannot be changed, stopped or started during the year for any reason, unless you have a Qualifying Life Event (see page 4). • Only those expenses that are considered tax deductible by the IRS, as listed in Publication 502, are eligible for reimbursement. • IRS guidelines can be found at http://www.irs.gov/publications/p969/ar02.html
