Annual Benefit Enrollment
SUMMARY PAGES
Benefit Updates - What’s New: Important! No new enrollments in the ActiveCare 2 plan will be allowed but if you are currently enrolled in ActiveCare2 you can continue with this coverage.
Medical Rate Increase - Aetna remains the carrier for Medical Plans: ActiveCare 1 HD, ActiveCare 2 and Select. The Scott & White HMO Plan is available for all employees working or residing in Dallas, Ellis, Denton, Collin, Rockwall and Tarrant counties. All eligible employees, including active, contributing TRS members and employees regularly working 10 hours per week MUST either enroll for coverage or decline coverage in THEbenefitsHUB. For TRS medical information, please visit: www.trsactivecareaetna.com
Increase in Health Savings Account annual maximum to $3,450 for an individual and $6,900 for a family.
Benefit elections will become effective 9/1/2018. (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 31 days of event).
Allstate- Effective 9/1/2018 Hurst Euless Bedford ISD will no longer be offering the Allstate Cancer plan as a benefits option for payroll deduction. We have worked with our Benefits Consultant to find an alternative that offers coverage for more illnesses, with premium rates lower than the current Allstate plan. Beginning in September, 2018, HEB ISD will be offering a Critical Illness Plan, provided by Unum, in place of the current cancer plan. The Critical Illness plan includes coverage for cancer diagnosis, heart attack, stroke, ALS, Alzheimer’s, and a number of other conditions. The plan pays claims in a lump sum upon diagnosis of any covered illness. Increments of $10,000 in coverage can be elected from $10,000 to $30,000 for employees and their spouses. Coverage for children is automatically included in the employee’s coverage. If you would prefer to retain your current Allstate Cancer plan, you will be able to do so through
bank draft. Bank draft forms will be available during annual enrollment on the HEB ISD benefits site, http:// www.mybenefitshub.com/hebisd. If you do not log into the benefits enrollment platform during annual enrollment, you will automatically be moved from the Allstate Cancer Plan to the new Unum Critical Illness Plan.
NEW! Critical Illness plan by Unum available for you and your dependents. Critical Illness insurance helps offset the financial effects of a catastrophic illness by paying a lump sum benefit when employees or their family members are diagnosed with a covered illness and includes cancer coverage.
SIS- Effective 9/1/2018 Hurst Euless Bedford ISD will no longer be offering the GAP plan offer through SIS as a benefits option for payroll deduction. We have worked with our Benefits Consultant to find an alternative that offers increased coverage for any in-patient hospital confinement, with premium rates lower than the current GAP plan. Beginning in September, 2018, HEB ISD will be offering a Hospital Indemnity Plan, through Voya, in place of the current GAP plan. The Hospital Indemnity plan offers either $100 or $200 per day payable for each day a participant is hospitalized. Additionally, there is a hospital admission benefit included that is either $1,000 or $2,000 dependent on which option is chosen. There is no pre-existing condition limitation on the new Voya plan. So for example, if you are currently pregnant or expecting a procedure that will result in a hospital stay, you can enroll in this plan and receive benefits immediately. More information on the new Hospital indemnity plan is located on our benefits website, www.mybenefitshub.com/hebisd. If you do not log into the benefits enrollment platform during annual enrollment, you will automatically be moved from the SIS GAP plan to the new Voya Hospital Indemnity plan.
NEW! Hospital Indemnity plan by Voya. Hospital Indemnity insurance pays lump sum benefit amounts based on the number of days spent in a hospital, critical care unit or rehabilitation facility.
Login and complete your supplemental benefit enrollment from 07/16/2018 - 08/17/2018 Enrollment assistance is available by calling Financial Benefit Services at 866-914-5202 to speak to an enrollment representative Monday—Thursday, 8 AM—5 PM, Friday 8 AM—3 PM.

If you have questions, please contact your Benefits Administrator. 8
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 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
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

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 Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change. Government Programs

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.

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. Compass Hospital Confinement Indemnity Insurance can help reduce your financial stress during recovery.
About Compass Hospital Confinement Indemnity Insurance Compass Hospital Confinement Indemnity 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. Hospital confinement indemnity insurance pays lump sum benefit amounts based on the number of days spent in a hospital*, critical care unit, or rehabilitation facility. You can use this benefit 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. *A hospital does not include an institution or part of an institution used as: a hospice unit; a convalescent home; a rest or nursing facility; a free-standing surgical center; a rehabilitative facility; an extended-care facility; a skilled nursing facility; or a facility primarily affording custodial, educational care, or care or treatment for persons suffering from mental diseases or disorders, or care for the aged, or drug or alcohol addiction.
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 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.
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 28 HEB ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/hebisd
HSA (Health Savings Account) HSA Bank has teamed up with your employer to create an affordable health coverage option that helps you save on healthcare expenses. This plan is only available for those who are participating in the Active Care 1-HD medical plan. You may not enroll in the HSA if you participate in the FSA. Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare participants are not eligible to participate in an HSA. You can use your Health Savings Account (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.
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.

Using Funds 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, 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 participate in TRS ActiveCare 1HD you are eligible to open an HSA. 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. You cannot be enrolled in the GAP plan. You cannot be enrolled in the Healthcare Reimbursement (Flexible Spending Plan) You can be enrolled in the Dependent Care Reimbursement Plan 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
30
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.
2018 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.
How the HSA Plan Works Examples of IRS-Qualified Medical Expenses4: Acupuncture Alcoholism treatment Ambulance services Annual physical examination Artificial limb or prosthesis Birth control pills (by prescription) Chiropractor Childbirth/delivery Convalescent home (for medical treatment only) Crutches Doctor’s fees Dental treatments (including x-rays, braces, dentures, fillings, oral surgery) Dermatologist Diagnostic services Disabled dependent care Drug addiction therapy Fertility enhancement (including in-vitro fertilization) Guide dog (or other service animal)
Gynecologist Hearing aids and batteries Hospital bills Insurance premiums5 Laboratory fees Lactation expenses Lodging (away from home for outpatient care) Nursing home Nursing services Obstetrician Osteopath Oxygen Pregnancy test kit Podiatrist Prescription drugs and medicines (over-the-counter drugs are not IRSqualified medical expenses unless prescribed by a doctor) Prenatal care & postnatal treatments Psychiatrist Psychologist Smoking cessation programs
Special education tutoring Surgery Telephone or TV equipment to assist the hearing or vision impaired Therapy or counseling Medical transportation expenses Transplants Vaccines Vasectomy Vision care (including eyeglasses, contact lenses, lasik surgery) Weight loss programs (for a specific disease diagnosed by a physician – such as obesity, hypertension, or heart disease) Wheelchairs X-rays

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). 31

Benefit Plan Provisions:
In-Network Reimbursement
For services provided by a Cigna Dental PPO network dentist, Cigna Dental will reimburse the dentist according to a Fee Schedule or Discount Schedule.
Non-Network Reimbursement
For services provided by a non-network dentist, Cigna Dental will reimburse according to the Maximum Allowable Charge. The MRC is calculated at the 90th percentile of all provider charges in the geographic area. The dentist may balance bill up to their usual fees. All deductibles, plan maximums, and service specific maximums cross accumulate between in-network and out-of-network. Benefit frequency limitations are based on the date of service and cross accumulate between in and out of network. The plan will only pay for covered charges up to the yearly Benefits Maximum, when applicable. Benefit-specific Maximums may also apply. This is the amount you must pay before the plan begins to pay for covered charges, when applicable. Benefit-specific deductibles may also apply. Payment will be reduced by 50% for Class III and IV services for 12 months for eligible members that are allowed to enroll in this plan outside of the designated open enrollment period. This provision does not apply to new hires. Pretreatment review is available on a voluntary basis when dental work in excess of $200 is proposed.

Guarantee Issue If you and your eligible dependents enroll during this enrollment period, you may apply for any amount of coverage up to $300,000 for yourself and any amount of coverage up to $50,000 for your spouse, without answering any medical questions.
If you want coverage over the amount you are guaranteed, you will need to provide answers to health questions. In addition, if you and your eligible dependents do not enroll during this enrollment period, you will have to wait for a future annual enrollment period to apply — and then you will need to answer health questions for the entire amount of coverage you apply for. New employees: To apply for coverage, complete your enrollment within 31 days of your eligibility period. If you apply for coverage after 31 days, or if you choose coverage over the amount you are guaranteed, you will need to complete a medical questionnaire which you can get from your plan administrator. You may also be required to take certain medical tests at Unum’s expense.
Why Buy Now? As long as you buy $10,000 of life coverage now, you an buy more coverage later - up to $300,000 - without answering any medical questions.
Portability/Conversion If you retire, reduce your hours or leave your employer, you can take this coverage with you according to the terms outlined in the contract. However, if you have a medical condition which has a material effect on life expectancy, you will be ineligible to port your coverage. You may also have the option to convert your Term life coverage to an individual life insurance policy.
Waiver of Premium If you become disabled (as defined by your plan) and are no longer able to work, your premium payments will be waived during the period of disability.

Changes to Coverage Each year you and your spouse will be given the opportunity to change your Life coverage and AD&D coverage. You and your spouse may purchase additional Life coverage up to one benefit unit increase without evidence of insurability if you are already enrolled in the plan. Elected Life coverage over the one benefit unit increase will be medically underwritten and will require evidence of insurability and approval by Unum’s Medical Underwriters. The suicide exclusion will apply to any increase in coverage. AD&D coverage does not require evidence of insurability for increase amounts.

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.mybenefitshub.com/hebisd
54
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. 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/hebisd 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).

TCG Administrators 800-943-9179
What is a 403(b)? A 403(b) plan is a retirement plan for certain employees of public schools, tax-exempt organizations and ministers. Contributions are made under a Salary Reduction Agreement (SRA) with your employer. This agreement allows your employer to withhold money from your paycheck to be contributed directly into a 403(b) account for your benefit. Usually, you do not pay income tax on these contributions until you withdraw them from the account. You have 35 + companies to choose from with a variety of investment types available (fixed annuity, fixed index annuity, variable annuity, investment advisory services, or mutual funds) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Please visit www.trs.state.tx.us and select 403b Certification and click on View 403(b) Products List to see the list of fees charged by each company/product. How to Enroll: Step 1: Set up your 403b account with an approved vendor (see the link above) Step 2: Complete the Salary Reduction Agreement with The Omni Group (see the following pages for login instructions)
http://tcgservices.com/documents/#/255/457b
What is a 457(b)? The 457(b) plan is a type of deferredcompensation retirement plan that is available for governmental employers. The employer provides the plan and the employee defers compensation into it on a pre-tax basis. For the most part the plan operates similarly to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan. The key difference is that there is no penalty for withdrawal before the age of 59½ (but subject to income tax).
HEB ISD has selected 1 company to provide our employees with the 457(b) plan. TCG Administrators offers several investment options

457(b) - TCG The 457(b) Retirement Savings Plan is a voluntary savings program designed to allow employees to defer a portion of their compensation through payroll deductions. These deferrals are made on a pre-tax basis and allow employees the opportunity to save for retirement. The 457(b) Retirement Savings Plan is an attractive alternative to traditional 403(b) “tax sheltered annuity” programs. The Retirement Savings Plan is set up under Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan is offered through the ESC Region 10 457 Cooperative and Master Plan by means of an interlocal agreement with each participating District. The Plan works for the most part like a 401(k) plan. Employees can enroll in the plan online or with forms without the need to meet with a sales person. Educational meetings are offered to the District by salaried representatives of the companies providing the plan services. No commissions are paid to any individuals or companies from the plan. A 457(b) plan has the same basic features and advantages of 403(b) and 401(k) plans. However, funds paid out of a 457(b) plan are not subject to an early withdrawal excise tax (unlike 403(b), IRAs or 401(k) plans).
