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 31 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

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Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.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 Southside ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/southsideisd
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 Medical Supplement plan if you participate in the HSA. You may not participate in the FSA plan if you participate in HSA. 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 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.
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.

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).

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

About this Benefit Individual life is a policy that provides a specified death benefit to your beneficiary at the time of death. The advantage of having an individual life insurance plan as opposed to a group supplemental term life plan is that this plan is guaranteed renewable, portable and typically premiums remain the same over the life of the policy.
Experts recommend at least
x 10 your gross annual income in coverage when purchasing life insurance.
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 Southside ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/southsideisd
Individual Life Life Insurance Highlights Voluntary permanent life insurance can be an ideal complement to the group term and optional term your employer might provide. Designed to be in force when you die, this voluntary universal life product is yours to keep, even when you change jobs or retire, as long as you pay the necessary premium. Group and voluntary term, on the other hand, typically are not portable if you change jobs and, even if you can keep them after you retire, usually costs more and declines in death benefit. The policy, PureLife-plus, is underwritten by Texas Life Insurance Company, and it has these outstanding features:
High Death Benefit. With one of the highest death benefit available at the worksite,1 PureLife-plus gives your loved ones peace of mind, knowing there will be significant life insurance in force should you die prematurely.
Minimal Cash Value. Designed to provide high death benefit, PureLife-plus does not compete with the cash accumulation in your employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Long Guarantees. Enjoy the assurance of a policy that has a guaranteed death benefit to age 121 and level premium that guarantees coverage for a significant period of time (after the guaranteed period, premiums may go down, stay the same, or go up).
Refund of Premium. Unique in the marketplace, PureLife-plus offers you a refund of 10 years’ premium, should you surrender the policy if the premium you pay when you buy the policy ever increases. (Conditions apply.)
Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Should you be diagnosed as terminally ill with the expectation of death within 12 months (24 months in Illinois), you will have the option to receive 92% (84% in Illinois) of the death benefit, minus a $150 ($100 in Florida) administrative fee. This valuable living benefit gives you peace of mind knowing that, should you need it, you can take the large majority of your death benefit while still alive. (Conditions apply.)
You may apply for this permanent, portable coverage, not only for yourself, but also for your spouse, minor children and grandchildren. Like most life insurance policies, Texas Life policies contain certain exclusions, limitations, exceptions, reductions of benefits, waiting periods and terms for keeping them in force. Please contact a Texas Life representative for costs and complete details. 1

DID YOU KNOW? FSAs use tax-free funds to help pay for your Health Care Expenses?
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/southsideisd
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/southsideisd 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.

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 who accept credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up-front and 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, in order for you to submit qualified claims for any unused funds.

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.
MASA MTS for Employees Ensures...
NO health questions for employee/spouse children covered to age 26 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?
