Annual Benefit Enrollment
SUMMARY PAGES
Benefit Updates - What’s New:
Benefit elections will become effective 01/01/2019 (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 the event).
Keller ISD takes their premiums a month in advance, so if you elect benefits during Open Enrollment, you first premium payments will come out of your December paycheck, except for your disability, Health Savings (HSA), healthcare or dependent care Flexible Spending (FSA) premiums.
Medical rates are increasing for the 2019 plan year. There have also been slight changes to the medical plans, please refer to the Medical benefit summary for details.
If you completed all activities of the Premium Incentive Program you will receive a $60.00 monthly discount on your medical premiums for 2019.
If you need further assistance with your enrollment, please contact: Natalie Nolan, Benefit Specialist at 817-744-1080 Sheri Rich, Director of Employee Benefits at 817-744-1087
Don’t Forget! Login and complete your benefit enrollment from 10/09/2018—10/23/2018. Refer to Keller ISD’s Employee Benefit Website “THEbenefitsHUB” for all your benefit plan summaries, rates & options: www.mybenefitshub.com/kellerisd or K-Connect: Functions; Workforce-HR; Benefits.

Update dependent information; social security number & student status for college aged children.

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.

Hospital Indemnity Consider the following:
The average cost per day for an hospital stay in the United States is more than $4,000.1 About 1 in 16 U.S. residents age 18 to 44 required one or more hospital stays in 2012. For ages 45 to 64, it was about 1 in 13.2 1
“As Hospital Prices Soar, a Stitch Tops $500.” New York Times, Dec. 2, 2013. 2 “Health, United States.” National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013. The costs of a hospital stay aren’t confined to hospital bills, either. There’s transportation, parking, food and drink for visitors, rehabilitation expenses, and potentially lost work time.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the 38 Keller ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/kellerisd
Critical Illness What is Critical Illness Insurance? Critical Illness Insurance pays a lump-sum benefit if you are diagnosed after your effective date of coverage with a covered illness or condition listed below. Please review certificates of coverage for any limitations that may apply. Critical Illness Insurance is a limited benefit policy. It is not health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
Consider the following:
In the United States, someone has a heart attack, on average, every 34 seconds.1 For strokes, the average is one every 40 seconds.2
1
“Heart Disease Fact Sheet.” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010. 2 “Impact of Stroke.” American Heart Association, 2011. These and other critical illnesses can derail your life. They can keep you from working. They can make it difficult to do the simple things that you take for granted every day. And while no insurance product could ever erase the impact of a critical illness, Compass Critical Illness Insurance can help reduce your stress during recovery.
About Compass Critical Illness Insurance Compass Critical Illness Insurance is a limited benefit policy. This is not health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Critical illness insurance pays a one-time, lump sum benefit amount upon the diagnosis of a covered disease or illness. You can use this money for any purpose you like, for example: to help pay for expenses not covered by your medical plan, lost wages, child care, travel, home health care costs, or any of your regular household expenses. If you are an employee who works at least 20 hours a week, you qualify for this insurance. There are no medical questions you need to answer or medical tests you need to take to get coverage. This is an optional benefit that you can purchase. Premium payments will be made through automatic deduction from your paycheck. This brochure will describe the coverage and options available to you.
This policy is portable – which means that if you leave your employer, you can maintain your coverage. If you choose to keep your coverage, you will be billed directly.
Your Compass Critical Illness Plan The plan pays the maximum critical illness benefit available for a covered condition or specified disease, unless otherwise indicated by a percentage.
Heart Attack Stroke End Stage Renal (Kidney) Failure Coronary Artery Bypass (25% of the maximum critical illness benefit) Coma Major Organ Failure Permanent Paralysis
Deafness Blindness Benign Brain Tumor Occupational HIV
Cancer Carcinoma In Situ (25% of the maximum critical illness benefit) Skin Cancer (10% of the maximum critical illness benefit)
You will be asked for supporting documentation in order for a benefit to be paid. Please see the complete certificate and any applicable rider(s) for details. Once the maximum benefit has been paid on an illness, coverage will terminate for that covered person for all other conditions or illnesses in the same box above. Any partial benefits paid will not reduce the available maximum benefit amount for the conditions or illnesses in that same colored box. Provided premiums are paid, coverage would continue for other covered family members.
Wellness Benefit Rider The covered employee will receive a single standard annual benefit of $100 for each covered employee and spouse who completes a health screening test. (The standard child benefit is 50% of the employee benefit amount, with a maximum of $100 in child benefits payable per calendar year.)

WISQARS Nonfatal Injury Reports, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based on 2010 data You can’t prepare for an accident – but you can prepare for its aftermath. Compass Accident Insurance, offered to you by Voya Employee Benefits, can help you chart a course to a less stressful recovery.
About Compass Accident Insurance Compass Accident Insurance is a limited benefit policy. This is not health insurance and does not satisfy the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Accident insurance pays you a specified amount for specific injuries resulting from a covered accident. You can use this money in any way you like, for example: deductibles, child care, housecleaning, groceries, utilities – any purpose that can help you meet your personal, financial, or household needs. If you are an employee who works at least 20 hours per week, you qualify for this insurance. There are no medical questions you need to answer or medical tests you need to take to get coverage. This is an optional benefit that you can purchase. Premium payments will be made through automatic deduction from your paycheck. This brochure will describe the coverage and options available to you. This coverage is portable – which means that if you leave your employer, you can maintain your coverage. If you choose to keep your coverage, you will be billed directly.
Your Compass Accident Plan – Off Job Coverage This is a brief outline of available benefits. Each benefit is subject to terms and conditions that may reduce the final amount paid, depending on the circumstances of your accident and the care you receive.

Long Term Disability What is Long-Term Disability Insurance?
When is it effective?
Long-Term Disability Insurance pays you a portion of your earnings if you cannot work because of a disabling illness or injury. You have the opportunity to purchase Long-Term Disability Insurance through your employer. This highlight sheet is an overview of your Long-Term Disability Insurance. Once a group policy is issued to your employer, a certificate of insurance will be available to explain your coverage in detail.
Coverage goes into effect subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. You must satisfy the definition of Actively at Work with your employer on the day your coverage takes effect.
Why do I need Long-Term Disability Coverage? Most accidents and injuries that keep people off the job happen outside the workplace and therefore are not covered by worker’s compensation. When you consider that nearly three in 10 workers entering the workforce today will become disabled before retiring1, it’s protection you won’t want to be without. 1 Social Security Administration, Fact Sheet 2009.
What is disability? Disability is defined in The Hartford’s* contract with your employer. Typically, disability means that you cannot perform one or more of the essential duties of your occupation due to injury, sickness, pregnancy or other medical condition covered by the insurance, and as a result, your current monthly earnings are 80% or less of your pre-disability earnings. Once you have been disabled for 24 months, you must be prevented from performing one or more of the essential duties of any occupation and as a result, your current monthly earnings are 66 2/3% or less of your pre-disability earnings.
Am I eligible? You are eligible if you are an active employee who works at least 20 hours per week on a regularly scheduled basis.
How much coverage would I have? You may purchase coverage that will pay you a monthly flat dollar benefit in $100 increments between $200 and $8,000 that cannot exceed 66 2/3% of your current monthly earnings. Your plan includes a minimum benefit of 25% of your elected benefit. Earnings are defined in The Hartford’s contract with your employer.
When can I enroll? If you choose not to elect coverage during your annual enrollment period, you will not be eligible to elect coverage until the next annual enrollment period without a qualifying change in family status.
What is does “Actively at Work” mean? You must be at work with your Employer on your regularly scheduled workday. On that day, you must be performing for wage or profit all of your regular duties in the usual way and for your usual number of hours. If school is not in session due to normal vacation or school break(s), Actively at Work shall mean you are able to report for work with your Employer, performing all of the regular duties of Your Occupation in the usual way for your usual number of hours as if school was in session.
How long do I have to wait before I can receive my benefit? You must be disabled for at least the number of days indicated by the elimination period that you select before you can receive a Long-Term Disability benefit payment. For those employees electing an elimination period of 30 days or less, if your are confined to a hospital for 24 hours or more due to a disability, the elimination period will be waived, and benefits will be payable from the first day.
What is an elimination period? The elimination period that you select consists of two numbers. The first number shows the number of days you must be disabled by an accident before your benefits can begin. The second number indicates the number of days you must be disabled by a sickness before your benefits can begin.
I already have Disability coverage; do I have to do anything? If you are not changing the amount of your coverage or your elimination period option, you do not have to do anything. If you want to purchase Long-Term Disability insurance for the first time or change your coverage, please be sure to complete the online enrollment, which indicates your election.
What other benefits are included in my disability coverage?
Workplace Modification provides for reasonable modifications made to a workplace to accommodate your disability and allow you to return to active full-time employment. 57

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.

Acupuncture Body scans Breast pumps Chiropractor Co-payments Deductible Diabetes Maintenance Eye Exam & Glasses Fertility treatment First aid

What Happens If I Don’t Use All of My Funds by The End of the Plan Year (December 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/kellerisd 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 after the Plan year ends for you to submit qualified claims for any unused funds.

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

About this Benefit A Health Savings Account is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to employees who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan. The funds contributed to the account are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), funds roll over and accumulate year to year if not spent.
The interest earned in an HSA is tax free.
Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.

How the HSA Plan Works A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individually-owned, tax-advantaged 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 self-directed 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. 72
2019 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual = $3,450 Family = $6,900
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 catch-up 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 tax-free. 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.
