Annual Benefit Enrollment
SUMMARY PAGES
Benefit Updates - What’s New: HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA) Employees who are enrolled in a high deductible health care plan the opportunity to contribute to an H.S.A to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses. Individual maximum contribution is $3,600 and Family maximum annual contribution is $7,200 per year. You should log in and complete a walkthrough if you want to increase your contribution amounts for the 2021 plan year. An employee and a spouse may both contribute to their own Health Savings Account, but their combined total can not exceed the family maximum in any given tax year.
Don’t Forget! Social Security Numbers for your dependents are required regardless if they are enrolled in coverage or not. Please make sure you have these items on hand when going through your open enrollment.
FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSA) Tax sheltered flexible spending accounts allow an individual to set aside dollars to pay for future health care and dependent care expenses. Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year (01/01/2021 to 12/31/21) and contributions are “use it or lose it.” The 2021 maximum annual contribution is $2,750. Participating employees will receive a FSA MasterCard with your entire annual FSA contribution to spend throughout the entire school year. You can view account balance using the NBS smart phone app, or you call NBS at (800) 583-6903 and speak to a representative.

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 Administrator 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

Benefits are only payable following a diagnosis of cancer for a loss incurred for the treatment of cancer while covered under the policy. A charge must be incurred for benefits to be payable. When coverage terminates for loss incurred after the coverage termination date, our obligation to pay benefits also terminates for a specified disease that manifested itself while the person was covered under the policy. All benefits are subject to the benefit maximums.
Cancer Treatment Benefits Eligibility
You and your eligible dependents are eligible to be insured under this certificate if you and your eligible dependents meet our underwriting rules and you are actively at work with the policyholder and qualify for coverage as defined in the master application.
Limitations and Exclusions
No benefits will be paid for any of the following: treatment by any program engaged in research that does not meet the definition of experimental treatment; or losses or medical expenses incurred prior to the covered person’s effective date regardless of when specified disease was diagnosed.
Only Loss for Cancer
The policy pays only for loss resulting from definitive cancer treatment including direct extension, metastatic spread or recurrence. Proof must be submitted to support each claim. The policy also covers other conditions or diseases directly caused by cancer or the treatment of cancer. The policy does not cover any other disease, sickness or incapacity which existed prior to the diagnosis of cancer, even though after contracting cancer it may have been complicated, aggravated or affected by cancer or the treatment of cancer.
Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion
No benefits are payable for any loss incurred during the pre-existing condition exclusion period, following the covered person’s effective date as the result of a pre-existing condition. Pre-existing conditions specifically named or described as excluded in any part of the policy are never covered. If any change to coverage after the certificate effective date results in an increase or addition to coverage, incontestability and pre-existing condition exclusion for such increase will be based on the effective date of such increase.
Waiting Period
The policy and any attached riders contain a waiting period during which no benefits will be paid. If any covered person has a specified disease diagnosed before the end of the waiting period immediately following the covered person’s effective date, coverage for that person will apply only to loss that is incurred after one year from the covered person’s effective date. If any covered person is diagnosed as having a specified disease during the waiting period immediately following the covered person’s effective date, you may elect to void the certificate from the beginning and receive a full refund of premium. If the policy replaced group specified disease cancer coverage from any company that terminated within 30 days of the certificate effective date, the waiting period will be waived for those covered persons that were covered under the prior coverage. However, the pre-existing condition exclusion provision will still apply.
