Sick Leave Bank Summary
SUMMARY PAGES
PLEASE REFER TO POLICY DEC (LOCAL & REGULATION). BELOW IS ONLY A GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE POLICY.
The purpose of the sick leave bank is to provide additional sick leave days for members of the bank who have exhausted all available paid leave because of the catastrophic injury or illness of the employee or the employee’s immediate family member.
Qualifying Illness/Injury •
In order to become a member of the sick leave bank, an employee must donate 3 days of local leave. This is a onetime donation. Additional days may be needed, please see the policy for more details. •
Catastrophic illness or injury is a severe condition or combination of conditions affecting the mental or physical health of the employee or a member of the employee’s immediate family that requires the services of a licensed practitioner for a prolonged period of time and that forces the employee to exhaust all leave time earned by that employee and to lose compensation from the District. Such conditions typically require prolonged hospitalization or recovery; not a passing disorder or temporary ailment; or are expected to result in disability or death. Complications of pregnancy and childbirth that pose an immediate medical threat Cancer-related intermittent treatment (i.e. chemo, radiation)
All local sick, state personal, old state and vacation days must be exhausted before days from the sick leave bank may be used.
•
Sick leave bank days are available to use for an employee, spouse, or child’s illness or injury or a parent receiving hospice or end-of-life care.
Not Covered: • A procedure that could be scheduled, without detriment to the employee’s health, at a time more compatible with the member’s work responsibilities (i.e. Spring Break, Summer, Christmas Break)
The employee must be absent for no fewer than 20 workdays to be eligible to request days from the sick leave bank.
•
Pre-existing Conditions – Absences caused by conditions existing at the time of application for bank membership will not be covered for one year from the date of enrollment in the bank
•
Examples of conditions that are not covered – Hysterectomy, joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder, etc.), general illness (flu, cold, etc.), non-complicated pregnancy, broken bone, general surgery, etc.
Applications for sick leave bank must be submitted within 15 workdays from the first date of missed work or 15 days prior to the exhaustion of all available leave days. Maximum # of days that can be used: • Employee’s illness – 30 days per school year • Spouse or child’s illness – 30 days per school year; 60 days lifetime maximum • Parent -10 days per school year; 20 days lifetime maximum A committee will determine whether the request for sick leave days is approved or denied.
Members of the bank who, during the previous school year, found it necessary to use the benefits of the bank must donate three days or the actual number of days used, whichever is less, at the beginning of the next school year. 9

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

HSA BANK
HSA (Health Savings Account)
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.
YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE
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.

HSA (Health Savings Account) Health Savings Accounts Start saving more on healthcare. 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 Health Benefits 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 Member Website or mobile device 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 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?
2020 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual = $3,550 Family = $7,100 2021 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual = $3,600 Family = $7,200 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. Online contributions must be submitted by 2:00 p.m., Central Time, the business day before the tax filing deadline.

An HSA provides triple tax savings.3 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.
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 limits.2

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 1-800TAXFORM. 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 longterm care coverage; coverage while receiving unemployment compensation; for any healthcare coverage for those over age 65 including Medicare (except Medicare supplemental coverage).

Why do you need legal coverage? Never have to worry if it’s worth calling an attorney again. You never know when a legal matter may affect you or your family, and there are times in life when it is a good idea to consult an attorney. Legal issues are complicated and disorienting. As many as 7 out of 10 of people you know will have the need for an attorney this year, according to the American Bar Association. This means that each year, only 30% of us will be lucky enough not to deal with the stress of a legal issue. And without the right help, legal matters are tough. Without legal benefits, issues can average anywhere from $500.00 to $7,000.00 per issue. The LegalGUARD Plan helps protect you, your family and your savings from unexpected legal costs for many issues.
We also always follow up to ensure everything is going well and to see how else we can be of assistance.

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.
What is a 457(b)? The 457(b) plan is a type of deferred- compensation 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).
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)
HEB ISD has selected 1 company to provide our employees with the 457(b) plan. TCG Administrators offers several investment options. Visit the website for a list of fees of service plan providers.
