Annual Benefit Enrollment
SUMMARY PAGES
Benefit Updates - What’s New:
Benefit elections will become effective 9/01/2016 (elections requiring evidence of insurability, such as life Insurance, may have a later effective date, if approved). After annual enrollment closes, benefit changes can only be made if you experience a qualifying event and changes must be made within 30 days of event.
Online Benefit Access: www.wtxebc.com You have access to benefit information 24/7 on the employee benefit provided. You can review and print the consolidated enrollment form or benefit guide, download claim forms and website plan summaries, links to carrier websites and provider searches.
Good News! Unum Voluntary Life will allow employees/ spouses to increase existing life insurance coverage all the way up to guarantee issue without evidence of insurability.
MDLIVE Telehealth will have a slight rate increase for voluntary coverage to $9 per month. This rate will still cover the entire family, employee, spouse and any unmarried children to age 26.
NEW Medical Transportation Solutions will be offered through MASA. MASA provides medical emergency transportation solutions AND covers your out of pocket medical transport cost when your insurance

falls short. MASA does not use a network which means you are covered anywhere. MASA rates will be $9.00 per month, per employee only/family coverage. Everyone that lives at the same residential address on a fulltime basis is covered on the same membership, as long as they are listed on the membership. Children who are off to an accredited college/university and enrolled fulltime, while working up to a bachelor’s degree, will also be covered as long as their permanent address remains the same as the primary member.
NEW Family Protection –Terminal Illness Plan with Quality of Life Rider from 5 Star provides a specified death benefit to your beneficiary at the time of death. The Terminal Illness Rider pays 30% of the death benefit directly to you in the event you are diagnosed with a terminal condition that will result in a limited life span of less than 12 months. The Quality of Life Rider provides you with financial protection should you be faced with a chronic medical condition that requires continuous care. This rider accelerates a portion of the death benefit on a monthly basis. This plan is affordable, completely portable as it is an individual policy. Like the name says, this is a Family Protection Plan. You can purchase this plan on your spouse, children, and even grandchildren. Persons under the age of 23 will not have the Quality of Life Rider.
Login and complete your benefit enrollment from 08/01/2016 - 08/22/2016 Enrollment assistance is available by calling Financial Benefit Services at (866) 914-5202 between 8am – 5pm CST Update your profile information: home address, phone numbers, email, beneficiaries REQUIRED: Provide correct dependent social security numbers
SUMMARY PAGES
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 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.
CHANGES IN STATUS (CIS):
QUALIFYING EVENTS
Marital Status
A change in marital status includes marriage, death of a spouse, divorce or annulment (legal separation is not recognized in all states).
Change in Number of Tax Dependents
A change in number of dependents includes the following: birth, adoption and placement for adoption. You can add existing dependents not previously enrolled whenever a dependent gains eligibility as a result of a valid change in status event.
Change in Status of Employment Affecting Coverage Eligibility
Change in employment status of the employee, or a spouse or dependent of the employee, that affects the individual's eligibility under an employer's plan includes commencement or termination of employment.
An event that causes an employee's dependent to satisfy or cease to satisfy coverage requirements Gain/Loss of Dependents' under an employer's plan may include change in age, student, marital, employment or tax dependent Eligibility Status status. If a judgment, decree, or order from a divorce, annulment or change in legal custody requires that you provide accident or health coverage for your dependent child (including a foster child who is your dependent), you may change your election to provide coverage for the dependent child. If the order Judgment/Decree/Order requires that another individual (including your spouse and former spouse) covers the dependent child and provides coverage under that individual's plan, you may change your election to revoke coverage only for that dependent child and only if the other individual actually provides the coverage. Eligibility for Government Programs
Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change.

Examples of Qualified Medical Expenses
What is an HSA?
A tax-advantaged savings account that you use to pay for eligible medical expenses as well as deductible, co-insurance, prescriptions, vision and dental care. Allows you to save while reducing your taxable income. Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There’s no “use it or lose it” penalty. A way to accumulate additional retirement savings. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty.

Debit Card You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept VISA credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front and wait for reimbursements. You can make a withdrawal at any time. Reimbursements for qualified medical expenses are tax free. If you are disabled or reach age 65, you can receive non-medical distributions without penalty, but you must report the distributions as taxable income. You may also use your funds for a spouse or tax dependent not covered by your HDHP.

How the HSA Plan Works A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individually-owned, taxadvantaged account that you can use to pay for current or future IRS-qualified medical expenses. With an HSA, you’ll have the potential to build more savings for healthcare expenses or additional retirement savings through selfdirected investment options1.
How an HSA works:
You can contribute to your HSA via payroll deduction, online banking transfer, or by sending a personal check to HSA Bank. Your employer or third parties, such as a spouse or parent, may contribute to your account as well. You can pay for qualified medical expenses with your HSA Bank Debit Card directly to your medical provider or pay out-of-pocket. You can either choose to reimburse yourself or keep the funds in your HSA to grow your savings. Unused funds will roll over year to year. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty (subject to ordinary income taxes). Check balances and account information via HSA Bank’s Internet Banking 24/7.
Are you eligible for an HSA? If you have a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) either through your employer, through your spouse, or one you’ve purchased on your own - chances are you can open an HSA. Additionally: You cannot be covered by any other non-HSA-compatible health plan, including Medicare Parts A and B. You cannot be covered by TriCare. You cannot have accessed your VA medical benefits in the past 90 days (to contribute to an HSA). You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return (unless it’s your spouse). You must be covered by the qualified HDHP on the first day of the month. When you open an account, HSA Bank will request certain information to verify your identity and to process your application.
What are the annual IRS contribution limits? Contributions made by all parties to an HSA cannot exceed the annual HSA limit set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Anyone can contribute to your HSA, but only the accountholder and employer can receive tax deductions on those contributions. Combined annual contributions for the accountholder, employer, and third parties (i.e., parent, spouse, or anyone else) must not exceed these limits2.
18
2016 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual = $3,350 Family = $6,750
Catch-up Contributions Accountholders who meet these qualifications are eligible to make an HSA catch-up contribution of $1,000: Health Savings accountholder; age 55 or older (regardless of when in the year an accountholder turns 55); not enrolled in Medicare (if an accountholder enrolls in Medicare mid-year, catch-up contributions should be prorated). Authorized signers who are 55 or older must have their own HSA in order to make the catchup contribution. According to IRS guidelines, each year you have until the tax filing deadline to contribute to your HSA (typically April 15 of the following year). Online contributions must be submitted by 2:00 p.m., Central Time, the business day before the tax filing deadline. Wire contributions must be received by noon, Central Time, on the tax filing deadline, and contribution forms with checks must be received by the tax filing deadline.
How can you benefit from tax savings? An HSA provides triple tax savings3. Here’s how: Contributions to your HSA can be made with pre-tax dollars and any after-tax contributions that you make to your HSA are tax deductible. HSA funds earn interest and investment earnings are tax free. When used for IRS-qualified medical expenses, distributions are free from tax.
IRS-Qualified Medical Expenses You can use your HSA to pay for a wide range of IRS-qualified medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, or tax dependents. An IRS-qualified medical expense is defined as an expense that pays for healthcare services, equipment, or medications. Funds used to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses are always taxfree. HSA funds can be used to reimburse yourself for past medical expenses if the expense was incurred after your HSA was established. While you do not need to submit any receipts to HSA Bank, you must save your bills and receipts for tax purposes.

1 Investment accounts are not FDIC insured, may lose value and are not a deposit or other obligation of, or guarantee by the bank. Investment losses which are replaced are subject to the annual contribution limits of the HSA. 2 HSA funds contributed in excess of these limits are subject to penalty and tax unless the excess and earnings are withdrawn prior to the due date, including any extensions for filing Federal Tax returns. Accountholders should consult with a qualified tax advisor in connection with excess contribution removal. The Internal Revenue Service requires HSA Bank to report withdrawals that are considered refunds of excess contributions. In order for the withdrawal to be accurately reported, accountholders may not withdraw the excess directly. Instead, an excess contribution refund must be requested from HSA Bank and an Excess Contribution Removal Form completed. 3 Federal Tax savings are available no matter where you live and HSAs are taxable in AL, CA, and NJ. HSA Bank does not provide tax advice. Consult your tax professional for tax‐related questions. 4 This list is not comprehensive. It is provided to you with the understanding that HSA Bank is not engaged in rendering tax advice. The information provided is not intended to be used to avoid Federal tax penalties. For more detailed information, please refer to IRS Publication 502 titled, “Medical and Dental Expenses”. Publications can be ordered directly from the IRS by calling 1-800-TAXFORM. If tax advice is required, you should seek the services of a professional. 5 Insurance premiums only qualify as an IRS-qualified medical expense: while continuing coverage under COBRA; for qualified long-term care coverage; coverage while receiving unemployment compensation; for any healthcare coverage for those over age 65 including Medicare (except Medicare supplemental coverage).

Long Term Disability Eligibility
Limitations & Exclusions
All active full time employees working 20 hours per week or more.
Benefits for Mental/Nervous/Substance Abuse/Self-Reported Illnesses are limited to 24 months lifetime combined.
Purpose
Pre-Existing Exclusion
Long Term Disability insurance provides income replacement benefits for you and your family in the event you are unable to work due to an accident or sickness.
There is a 3/12 pre-existing conditions clause. This is a look back period to see if you were treatment-free for a 3-month period prior to the effective date of your coverage. If you weren’t treatment-free, the pre-existing condition is excluded from coverage if you’re disabled within 12-months of first becoming insured. In addition, if during an annual enrollment period you apply for additional benefits or select a shorter elimination period, this plan will not cover the increase in your coverage if you have a pre-existing condition.
Maximizing Income Protection Long Term Disability (LTD) Insurance can offer an affordable way for educators and administrators to protect their lifestyles—and the people who depend upon them. Employees can choose from a selection of LTD features they feel best match their financial needs.
Employees can choose their Monthly Benefit Amount in $100 increments, from $200 to $8,000 (not to exceed 70% of monthly earnings). Employees can choose from among six accident/sickness Benefit Waiting Periods. A benefit waiting period is the period of time in which an employee must be continuously disabled before you are eligible for benefits.
Accident 0 Days 14 Days 30 Days 60 Days 90 Days 180 Days
Sickness 7 Days 14 Days 30 Days 60 Days 90 Days 180 Days
Maximum Benefit Period Plan A: ADEA II for Disability due to Injury and sickness: Disabled less than age 60, benefits continue to end of the month age 65. Age at Disability Age 60 - 64 Age 65 - 69 Age 70+
Maximum Duration of Benefits 60 months To end of month age 70 or 1 year 1 year
Plan B: 2 YR Reducing Benefit Duration for Disability due to Accident or Sickness: If an employee becomes disabled before age 68, benefits may continue for 2 years. If they become disabled at age 68, benefits continue to the end of month age 70 or 1 year. If they become disabled age 69 or over, benefits continue for 1 year.
Plan Features Maximum Benefit Employees can protect as much as $8,000 of their income as long as the benefit is not greater than 70% of their salary.
Definition of Disability 2 Year Own Occ with Residual. Covers Non-Occupational and Occupational disabilities – not in lieu of Workers Compensation. During the Elimination Period and the Own Occupation Period – any day that an individual is unable to perform the material duties of his/her own occupation; or while unable to perform the material duties of his/her own occupation, is performing at least one of the material duties of any occupation on a part-time or full-time basis and has lost at least 20% of their indexed predisability earnings due to a disable condition. After the Own Occupation Period – any day that an individual is unable to perform the material duties of any occupation for which he/she is or may become fitted, based on training, education or experience; or while unable to perform the material duties of any reasonable occupation, is performing at least one of the material duties of any occupation on a part-time or full-time basis and has lost at least 40% of his/her pre-indexed earnings due to a disabling condition.
1st Day Hospital Benefit This feature waives the waiting period if an insured is hospitalized. Hospitalized means that, if because of your disability, you are hospital confined as an inpatient, benefits begin the first day of inpatient confinement. Inpatient means you are confined to a hospital room due to your sickness or injury, for 24 or more consecutive hours. This benefit is included in the 0/7, 14/14, and 30/30 waiting periods.

You have peace of mind that you are covered up to age 100.* No matter what the future brings, you and your family will be protected.
If faced with a chronic medical condition that required continuous care, would you be able to protect yourself?

This rider accelerates a portion of the death benefit on a monthly basis—4% each month as scheduled by your employer at the group level, and payable directly to you on a tax favored basis. You can receive up to 75% of the current face amount of the life benefit, following a diagnosis of either a chronic illness or cognitive impairment that requires substantial assistance.

Affordability—With several options to choose from, select the coverage that best meets the needs of your family. Terminal Illness—This plan pays the insured 30% (25% in Connecticut and Michigan) of the policy coverage amount in a lump sum upon the occurrence of a terminal condition that will result in a limited life span of less than 12 months. Portability—You and your family continue coverage with no loss of benefits or increase in cost should you terminate employment after the first premium is paid. If this happens, we can simply bill you directly. Coverage can never be cancelled by the insurance company or your employer unless you stop paying premiums. Family Protection—Individual policies can be purchased on the employee, their spouse, children and grandchildren. Children & Grandchildren Plan—Policies can be purchased for children and grandchildren ages 15 days to age 24. Convenience—Premiums are taken care of simply and easily through payroll deductions. Protection You Can Count On—Within 24 hours after receiving notice of an insured’s death, an emergency death benefit of the lesser of 50% of the coverage amount, or $10,000, will be mailed to the insured’s beneficiary, unless the death is within the two-year contestability period and/or under investigation. This product also contains no war or terrorism exclusions.
For example, in case of chronic illness, you would receive $3,586 each month up to $67,241.25. The remainder death benefit of $22,413.75 would be made payable to your beneficiary.

Medical Transport MASA provides medical emergency transportation solutions and covers your out of pocket medical transport cost when your insurance falls short. MASA does not use a network, which means you are covered anywhere.
THE TRUTH... Americans today suffer from a false sense of security that their medical coverage will pay for all costs associated with emergency or critical care transport. The reality is that a majority of Americans are only partially covered for these high costs.
Most healthcare policies will only pay based off of the “Usual and Customary Charges” while Medicare pays based off a set fee schedule, both leaving you with the remainder of the bill. You face the possibility that your medical coverage will deny the claim leaving you responsible for the ENTIRE bill. We provide medical emergency transportation solutions AND cover your out of pocket medical transport cost when your insurance falls short.
MASA MTS for Employees Ensures...
NO health questions NO age limits NO claim forms NO deductibles NO provider network limitations NO dollar limits on emergency transport costs
What is Covered?
Emergency Helicopter Transport Emergency Ground Ambulance Transport
How Much Does It Cost? MASA Emergent rates are $9 a month, per employee only/ family coverage.
Emergent Card Example:
“All I had to do was send the bill which was never paid by Medicare and TriCare for Life --- and the rest is history. When MASA received that bill, it was paid and all amounts owed satisfied.” --- MASA Member, 2015

Funds allocated to a healthcare FSA must be used during the plan year or are forfeited unless your plan contains a $500 rollover or grace period provision.

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
Dependent Care Expense Account Example Expenses:
Before and After School and/or Extended Day Programs The actual care of the dependent in your home. Preschool tuition. The base costs for day camps or similar programs used as care for a qualifying individual.
What Can I Use My Flexible Spending Account On? For a full list of eligible expenses, please refer to www.wtxebc.com
62
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.wtxebc.com 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.
Account Information Participants may call NBS and talk to a representative during our regular business hours, Monday–Friday, 7am to 6pm Mountain Time.

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 after the Plan year ends for you to submit qualified claims for any unused funds.
