Annual Benefit Enrollment
SUMMARY PAGES
Benefit Updates - What’s New:
Benefit elections will become affective 9/1/2018. Elections requiring evidence of insurability, such as Life Insurance, may have a later effective date, if approved. After annual enrollment, benefit changes can only be made if you experience a qualifying event. Changes must be made within 30 days of event.
If you currently participate in a Healthcare or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account, you MUST re-elect a new contribution amount in the summer enrollment to continue to participate.
Your current monthly HSA contribution will rollover to next plan year unless you make a change to your election during the summer enrollment window.
Change: Effective 9/1/2018, Cigna Dental premium will have a slight increase for the High and Low PPO plans.
Short Term and Long Term Disability will be changing from Cigna to One America/ AUL. The current plan designs and rates will stay the same. All new or increases in coverage are subject to pre-existing condition exclusions.
New - Hospital Indemnity insurance is designed to supplement your medical coverage, easing the financial impacts by covering some of the additional expenses associated with a hospital stay. It provides cash benefits paid directly to you for hospitalization. Two Plans to choose from High and Low Options.
Changing! The group life carrier will be changing from Cigna to One America/ AUL. They will take over all current group life coverage at current benefit levels and rates. Guaranteed Issue will be offered this year on new (or increased) coverage: up to $200K for employee, $50K on spouse, and $10K on children.
Login and complete your benefit enrollment from 7/09/2018—8/17/2018. Enrollment assistance is available by calling Financial Benefit Services at 866-914-5202 to speak to a representative Monday-Thursday 8am-5:30pm & Friday 8am-3pm .

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.

What is a maintenance medication? Maintenance drugs are prescriptions commonly used to treat conditions that are considered chronic or long-term. These conditions usually require regular, daily use of medicines. Examples of maintenance drugs are those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and diabetes.
When does the convenience fee apply? For example, if you are covered under TRS-ActiveCare Select, the first time you fill a 31-day supply of a generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy you will pay $20, then you will pay $35 each month that you fill a 31-day supply of that generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy. A 90-day supply of that same generic maintenance medication would cost $45, and you would save $225 over the year by filling a 90-day supply. A specialist is any physician other than family practitioner, internist, OB/GYN or pediatrician. 1 Illustrates benefits when in-network providers are used. For some plans non-network benefits are also available; there is no coverage for non-network benefits under the ActiveCare Select or ActiveCare Select Whole Health Plan; see Enrollment Guide for more information. Non-contracting providers may bill for amounts exceeding the allowable amount for covered services. Participants will be responsible for this balance bill amount, which maybe considerable. 2 For ActiveCare 1-HD, certain generic preventive drugs are covered at 100%. Participants do not have to meet the deductible ($2,750 - individual, $5,500 - family) and they pay nothing out of pocket for these drugs. Find the list of drugs at info.caremark.com/trsactivecare. 3 If a participant obtains a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, they are responsible for the generic copay plus the cost difference between the brand-name drug and the generic drug. 4 If the cost of the drug is less than the minimum, you will pay the cost of the drug. 5 Participants can fill 32-day to 90-day supply through mail order.

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

About this Benefit A Cafeteria Plan is designed to take advantage of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. It allows you to pay certain qualified expenses on a pre-tax basis, thereby reducing your taxable income. You can set aside a pre-established amount of money per plan year in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). 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.
Unlimited FSA (Non HSA Compatible) The funds in the unlimited healthcare FSA can be used to pay for eligible medical expenses like deductibles, co-payments, orthodontics, glasses and contacts.

FSA (Flexible Spending Account) A Cafeteria plan enables you to save money on group insurance, health-related expenses, and dependent-care expenses. Your contributions are deducted from your pay before taxes are withheld. Because you are taxed on a lower amount of pay, you pay less in taxes and you have more to spend. 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.

Term Life with Terminal Illness and Quality of Life Rider The Family Protection Plan: Term Life Insurance with Terminal Illness Coverage to Age 100 Nearly 85% of Americans say most people need life insurance; unfortunately only 62% have coverage and a staggering 33% say they don’t have enough life insurance, including one-fourth who already have life insurance coverage.** Nobody wants to be a statistic - especially during a period of grief. That’s why 5Star Life Insurance Company developed its FPP policy - to ensure you and your loved ones are covered during a period of loss.
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.

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. BENEFIT You face the possibility that your medical coverage will deny the claim leaving you responsible for the ENTIRE bill. MASA provides medical emergency transportation solutions AND cover your out of pocket medical transport cost when your insurance falls short.

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

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 58 Burnet CISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/burnetcisd
403(b) Plan To begin contributing to a 403(b) account, you would need to complete the following steps: 1. Determine which company you would like to invest your contributions with. A list of approved vendors can be found by accessing the NBS website at http://nbsbenefits.com/my account/national-benefit-services-403b-plan-information-portal/ 2. Contact the vendor of your choosing directly to obtain and submit all necessary paperwork to open the account. 3. Up to 2% match provided by BCISD for 403(b) contributions (50% match program through Fidelity). Employees are required to set up an account with Fidelity in order to receive the employer match.

Universal Availability Notice You are eligible to participate in the 403(b) retirement plan sponsored by Burnet Consolidated Independent School District. Contributing to a 403(b) plan will help to give you peace of mind through financial security during your retirement. A 403(b) plan will allow you to contribute a portion of your compensation as a pre‐tax or after‐tax (Roth) contribution (if allowed by your Employer) in order to save toward your retirement. Participation in the 403(b) plan is completely voluntary. If you are already contributing to the 403(b) plan, now is a perfect time to increase your contributions.
What is a 403(b) Plan? A 403(b) plan, also known as a Tax‐Sheltered Annuity (TSA) plan, is a tax‐deferred retirement plan for employees of certain tax‐ exempt, governmental organizations or public education institutions. An employer may sponsor a 403(b) plan to provide a benefit to its employees to save for retirement on a tax‐deferred basis.
What are the benefits of contributing to a 403(b) Plan? LOWER TAXES TODAY The 403(b) contributions you make may be on a pretax basis. This means that you are taxed on a lower amount of income. For example, if your federal marginal income tax rate is 25%, and if you contribute $100 a month to a 403(b) plan, you have reduced your federal income taxes by nearly $25. In effect, your $100 contribution costs you only $75.The tax savings can grow with the size of your 403(b) contribution. TAX‐DEFERRED GROWTH In your 403(b) plan, interest and earnings accrue tax‐deferred. This means that your interest will grow tax‐free until the time of your withdrawal. The compounding interest on your 403(b) plan can allow your account to grow more quickly than saving money in a taxable account where interest and earnings are generally taxed each year. TAKING THE INITIATIVE Contributing to a 403(b) retirement plan can help you take control of your future retirement needs. Other sources of retirement income, including state pension plans and, if applicable, Social Security, often do not adequately replace a person’s salary upon retirement. A 403(b) plan can be a great way to provide you with additional income at retirement. POSSIBLE TAX CREDITS If you contribute to the plan, you may be able to receive a tax credit, which could reduce your overall federal income tax paid for the year. ROTH You may also choose to save part of your earnings on an AFTER -TAX (ROTH) basis. Qualified distributions will allow you to withdraw your money tax‐free.
How much can you contribute to a 403 (b) Plan? You may elect to save: Up to 100% of your income Up to $18,000 in 2015 Extra $5,500 if age 50+
