Section 125 Cafeteria Plan Guidelines 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 STATUS (CIS):
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.
QUALIFYING EVENTS

Long Term Disability Termination of Disability Benefits
Pre-existing Condition Limitation
Your benefits will terminate when your Disability ceases, when your benefit duration period is exceeded, or on the following events: (1) the date you earn from any occupation more than 80% of your Covered Earnings, or the date you fail to cooperate with us in a rehabilitation plan, or transitional work arrangement, or the administration of the claim.
Benefits are not payable for medical conditions for which you incurred expenses, took prescription drugs, received medical treatment, care or services (including diagnostic measures,) during the 3 months just prior to the most recent effective date of insurance. Benefits are not payable for any disability resulting from a pre-existing condition unless the disability occurs after you have been insured under this plan for at least 12 months after your most recent effective date of insurance.
Effects of Other Income Benefits This plan is structured to prevent your total benefits and postdisability earnings from equaling or exceeding pre-disability earnings. Therefore, we reduce this plan’s benefits by Other Income Benefits payable to you, your dependents, or a qualified third party on behalf of you or your dependents. Disability benefits maybe reduced by amounts received through Social Security disability benefits payable to you, your dependents, or a qualified third party on behalf of you or your dependents. Your disability benefits will not be reduced by any Social Security disability benefits you are not receiving as long as you cooperate fully in efforts to obtain them and agree to repay any overpayment when and if you do receive them. Disability benefits will also be reduced by amounts received through other government programs, sick leave, employer’s sabbatical leave, employer’s assault leave plan, employer funded retirement benefits, workers’ compensation, franchise/group insurance, auto no-fault, and damages for wage loss. For details, see your outline of coverage, policy certificate, or your employer’s summary plan description. Note: Some of the Other Income Benefits, as defined in the group policy, will not be considered until after disability benefits are payable for 6 months.
Additional Plan Details & Features Earnings While Disabled During the first 24 months that benefits are payable, benefits will be reduced if benefits plus income from employment exceeds 100% of pre-disability Covered Earnings. After that, benefits will be reduced by 50% of earnings from employment.
Pre-existing Condition Waiver The Insurance Company will waive the Pre-Existing Condition Limitation for the first month of Disability even if the Employee has a Pre-Existing Condition. The Disability Benefits as shown in the Schedule of Benefits will continue beyond 1 month only if the Pre-Existing Condition Limitation does not apply.
30
Limited Benefit Period Disabilities caused by or contributed to by any one or more of the following conditions are subject to a lifetime limit of 24 months for outpatient treatment: Anxiety-disorders, delusional (paranoid) or depressive disorders, eating disorders, mental illness, somatoform disorders (including psychosomatic illnesses) ,alcoholism, drug addiction or abuse. Benefits are payable during periods of hospital confinement for these conditions for hospitalizations lasting more than 14 consecutive days that occur before the 24-month lifetime outpatient limit is exhausted.
Exclusions This plan does not pay benefits for a Disability which results, directly or indirectly, from any of the following: Suicide, attempted suicide, or intentionally self-inflicted injury while sane or insane; war or any act of war, whether or not declared; active participation in a riot; commission of a felony; the revocation, restriction or non-renewal of an Employee’s license, permit or certification necessary to perform the duties of his or her occupation unless due solely to Injury or Sickness otherwise covered by the Policy; any cosmetic surgery or surgical procedure that is not Medically Necessary; an Injury or Sickness for which the Employee is entitled to benefits from Workers’ Compensation or occupational disease law; an Injury or Sickness that is work related. In addition, the plan does not pay disability benefits any period of Disability during which you are incarcerated in a penal or corrections institution.
Long Term Disability Plan Termination Coverage terminates if the group policy is terminated, if you cease to be in active service, if you are no longer a member of an eligible class of employees, the day after the last date for which premium has been paid by you or the employer, or the date you become eligible for a plan of benefits intended to replace this coverage. If you are disabled and receiving benefits under this plan, your benefits and coverage will continue until the expiration of your benefit period, or until you no longer qualify for benefits under the plan, whichever comes first.
When Coverage Takes Effect Your coverage takes effect on the later of the policy’s effective date, the date you become eligible, the date we receive your completed enrollment form, or the date you authorize any necessary payroll deductions. If you’re not actively at work on the date your coverage would otherwise take effect, your coverage will take effect on the date you return to work. If you have to submit evidence of good health, your coverage takes effect on the date we agree, in writing, to cover you.

FSA Frequently Asked Questions 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- lose-it. Remember to retain all your receipts.
Health Care Expense Account Example Expenses:
Acupuncture Body scans Breast pumps Chiropractor Co-payments Deductible Diabetes Maintenance Eye Exam & Glasses Fertility treatment First aid
Hearing aids & batteries Lab fees Laser Surgery Orthodontia Expenses Physical exams Pregnancy tests Prescription drugs Vaccinations Vaporizers or humidifiers

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- lose-it. 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/ birdvilleisd and complete the “Claim Form” to send to NBS or use the web or phone app to file online.
How To Receive Your Dependent Care Reimbursement Faster. A Direct Deposit form is available on the Benefits Website which will help you get reimbursed quicker!
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. 2. 3. 4.
Complete and sign a claim form (available on our website) or an online claim. Attach documentation; such as an itemized bill or an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement from a health insurance provider. Fax or mail signed form and documentation to NBS. 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.

HSA (Health Savings Account) What is an HSA?
Participant Account Web Access:
www.nbsbenefits.com A Health Savings Account (HSA) works with a high deductible health plan (HDHP) and lets you set aside a portion of your paycheck - before taxes– into an account to help you pay for medical expenses before you reach your deductible or that you aren’t covered by your plan. It can also help you pay for future medical expenses. *If you enroll in HSA you are no eligible for MEDlink®insurance or an FSA account.
A tax-advantaged savings account that you use to pay for eligible medical expenses as well as deductible, coinsurance, prescriptions, vision and dental care. Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There’s no “use it or lose it” penalty. Potential to build more savings through investing. If you maintain a minimum balance of $2,000, your additional funds may be invested in mutual funds yielding tax-free earnings. Additional retirement savings. After you turn 65, or if you become disabled, your HSA account becomes similar to a regular IRA. Withdrawals you use for non-eligible expenses will be taxed at your regular income tax rate but won’t incur additional penalties.
Pre-Paid Debit Card You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept Master Card credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front then wait for reimbursement.
2016 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual: $3,350 Family: $6,750 Catch-Up Contributions: Account holders over the age of 55 who have not yet enrolled in Medicare are eligible to make an additional $1,000 “catch-up” contribution to their HSA.
Will my HSA Funds be Up Fronted to Me?
