Annual Benefit Enrollment

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 31 days of your qualifying event and meet with your Benefit 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):

Marital Status

Change in Number of Tax Dependents

Change in Status of Employment Affecting Coverage Eligibility

Gain/Loss of Dependents’ Eligibility Status

QUALIFYING EVENTS

A change in marital status includes marriage, death of a spouse, divorce or annulment (legal separation is not recognized in all states).

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 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 under an employer’s plan may include change in age, student, marital, employment or tax dependent status. Judgment/ Decree/Order

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 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.

SUMMARY PAGES

Annual Benefit Enrollment

Annual Enrollment

During your annual enrollment period, you have the opportunity to review, change or continue benefit elections each year. Changes are not permitted during the plan year (outside of annual enrollment) unless a Section 125 qualifying event occurs.

• Changes, additions or drops may be made only during the annual enrollment period without a qualifying event.

• Employees must review their personal information and verify that dependents they wish to provide coverage for are included in the dependent profile. Additionally, you must notify your employer of any discrepancy in personal and/or benefit information.

• Employees must confirm on each benefit screen (medical, dental, vision, etc.) that each dependent to be covered is selected in order to be included in the coverage for that particular benefit.

New Hire Enrollment

All new hire enrollment elections must be completed in the online enrollment system within the first 31 days of benefit eligibility employment. Failure to complete elections during this timeframe will result in the forfeiture of coverage.

Q&A

Who do I contact with Questions?

For supplemental benefit questions, you can contact your Benefit Office or you can call Financial Benefit Services at (866) 914-5202 for assistance.

Where can I find forms?

For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/ cedarhillisd. Click the benefit plan you need information on (i.e., Dental) and you can find the forms you need under the Benefits and Forms section.

How can I find a Network Provider?

For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to the Cedar Hill ISD benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cedarhillisd. Click on the benefit plan you need information on (i.e., Dental) and you can find provider search links under the Quick Links section.

When will I receive ID cards?

If the insurance carrier provides ID cards, you can expect to receive those 3-4 weeks after your effective date. For most dental and vision plans, you can login to the carrier website and print a temporary ID card or simply give your provider the insurance company’s phone number and they can call and verify your coverage if you do not have an ID card at that time. If you do not receive your ID card, you can call the carrier’s customer service number to request another card.

If the insurance carrier provides ID cards, but there are no changes to the plan, you typically will not receive a new ID card each year.

Annual Benefit Enrollment

Employee Eligibility Requirements

Supplemental Benefits: Eligible full-time employees must have a reasonable assurance of working 20 hours or more per week.

Eligible full-time employees must be actively at work on the plan effective date for new benefits to be effective, meaning you are physically capable of performing the functions of your job on the first day of work concurrent with the plan effective date. For example, if your 2023 benefits become effective on September 1, 2023, you must be actively-at-work on September 1, 2023 to be eligible for your new benefits.

Dependent Eligibility Requirements

Dependent Eligibility: You can cover eligible dependent children under a benefit that offers dependent coverage, provided you participate in the same benefit, through the maximum age listed below. Dependents cannot be double covered by married spouses within the district as both employees and dependents.

Please note, limits and exclusions may apply when obtaining coverage as a married couple or when obtaining coverage for dependents.

Potential Spouse Coverage Limitations: When enrolling in coverage, please keep in mind that some benefits may not allow you to cover your spouse as a dependent if your spouse is enrolled for coverage as an employee under the same employer. Review the applicable plan documents, contact Financial Benefit Services, or contact the insurance carrier for additional information on spouse eligibility.

FSA/HSA Limitations: Please note, in general, per IRS regulations, married couples may not enroll in both a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and a Health Savings Account (HSA). If your spouse is covered under an FSA that reimburses for medical expenses then you and your spouse are not HSA eligible, even if you would not use your spouse’s FSA to reimburse your expenses. However, there are some exceptions to the general limitation regarding specific types of FSAs. To obtain more information on whether you can enroll in a specific type of FSA or HSA as a married couple, please reach out to the FSA and/or HSA provider prior to enrolling or reach out to your tax advisor for further guidance.

Potential Dependent Coverage Limitations: When enrolling for dependent coverage, please keep in mind that some benefits may not allow you to cover your eligible dependents if they are enrolled for coverage as an employee under the same employer. Review the applicable plan documents, contact Financial Benefit Services, or contact the insurance carrier for additional information on dependent eligibility.

Disclaimer: You acknowledge that you have read the limitations and exclusions that may apply to obtaining spouse and dependent coverage, including limitations and exclusions that may apply to enrollment in Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts as a married couple. You, the enrollee, shall hold harmless, defend, and indemnify Financial Benefit Services, LLC from any and all claims, actions, suits, charges, and judgments whatsoever that arise out of the enrollee’s enrollment in spouse and/or dependent coverage, including enrollment in Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts.

If your dependent is disabled, coverage may be able to continue past the maximum age under certain plans. If you have a disabled dependent who is reaching an ineligible age, you must provide a physician’s statement confirming your dependent’s disability. Contact your Benefit Office to request a continuation of coverage.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

ABOUT HSA

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a personal savings account where the money can only be used for eligible medical expenses. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), the money rolls over year to year however only those funds that have been deposited in your account can be used. Contributions to a Health Savings Account can only be used if you are also enrolled in a High Deductible Health Care Plan (HDHP).

For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cedarhillisd

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is more than a way to help you and your family cover health care costs; it is a tax-exempt tool to supplement your retirement savings and cover health expenses during retirement. An HSA can provide the funds to help pay current health care expenses as well as future health care costs.

A type of personal savings account, an HSA is always yours even if you change health plans or jobs. The money in your HSA (including interest and investment earnings) grows tax-free and spends tax-free if used to pay for qualified medical expenses. There is no “use it or lose it” rule — you do not lose your money if you do not spend it in the calendar year — and there are no vesting requirements or forfeiture provisions. The account automatically rolls over year after year.

HSA Eligibility

You are eligible to open and contribute to an HSA if you are:

• Enrolled in an HSA-eligible HDHP (TSHBP HD).

• Not covered by another plan that is not a qualified HDHP, such as your spouse’s health plan

• Not enrolled in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account, nor should your spouse be contributing towards a Health Care Flexible Spending Account

• Not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return

• Not enrolled in Medicare or TRICARE

• Not receiving Veterans Administration benefits

You can use the money in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses now or in the future. You can also use HSA funds to pay health care expenses for your dependents, even if they are not covered under your HDHP.

Maximum Contributions

Your HSA contributions may not exceed the annual maximum amount established by the Internal Revenue Service. The annual contribution maximum for 2023 is based on the coverage option you elect:

• Individual – $3,850

• Family (filing jointly) – $7,750

You decide whether to use the money in your account to pay for qualified expenses or let it grow for future use. If you are 55 or older, you may make a yearly catch-up contribution of up to $1,000 to your HSA. If you turn 55 at any time dur-ing the plan year, you are eligible to make the catch-up contribution for the entire plan year.

• You, not your employer, are responsible for maintaining ALL records and receipts for HSA reimbursements in the event of an IRS audit.

Disability Insurance The Hartford EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

ABOUT DISABILITY

Disability insurance protects one of your most valuable assets, your paycheck. This insurance will replace a portion of your income in the event that you become physically unable to work due to sickness or injury for an extended period of time.

For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cedarhillisd

What is Educator Disability Insurance?

Educator Disability insurance is a hybrid that combines features of short-term and long-term disability into one plan. Disability insurance provides partial income protection if you are unable to work due to a covered accident or illness. The plan gives you flexibility to be able to choose an amount of coverage and waiting period that suits your needs. We offer Educator Disability insurance for you to purchase through The Hartford.

If you need to file a claim, please contact the vendor at (866) 278-2655 and provide Group #395321

Actively at Work: You must be at work with your Employer on your regularly scheduled workday. On that day, you must be performing for wage or profit all of your regular duties in the usual way and for your usual number of hours. If school is not in session due to normal vacation or school break(s), Actively at Work shall mean you are able to report for work with your Employer, performing all of the regular duties of Your Occupation in the usual way for your usual number of hours as if school was in session.

Benefit Amount: You may purchase coverage that will pay you a monthly flat dollar benefit in $100 increments between $200 and $7,500 that cannot exceed 66 2/3% of your current monthly earnings. Earnings are defined in The Hartford’s contract with your employer.

Elimination Period: You must be disabled for at least the number of days indicated by the elimination period that you select before you can receive a Disability benefit payment. The elimination period that you select consists of two numbers. The first number shows the number of days you must be disabled by an accident before your benefits can begin. The second number indicates the number of days you must be disabled by a sickness before

your benefits can begin. For those employees electing an elimination period of 30 days or less, if you are confined to a hospital for 24 hours or more due to a disability, the elimination period will be waived, and benefits will be payable from the first day of hospitalization.

Definition of Disability: Disability is defined as The Hartford’s contract with your employer. Typically, disability means that you cannot perform one or more of the essential duties of your occupation due to injury, sickness, pregnancy, or other medical conditions covered by the insurance, and as a result, your current monthly earnings are 80% or less of your pre-disability earnings. One you have been disabled for 24 months, you must be prevented from performing one or more essential duties of any occupation, and as a result, your monthly earnings are 66 2/3% or less of your pre-disability earnings.

Pre-Existing Condition Limitation: Your policy limits the benefits you can receive for a disability caused by a preexisting condition. In general, if you were diagnosed or received care for a disabling condition within the 3 consecutive months just prior to the effective date of this policy, your benefit payment will be limited, unless: You have been insured under this policy for 12 months before your disability begins.

If your disability is a result of a pre-existing condition, we will pay benefits for a maximum of 4 weeks

Continuity of Coverage: If you were insured under your district’s prior plan and not receiving benefits the day before this policy is effective, there will not be a loss in coverage and you will get credit for your prior carrier’s coverage.

ABOUT CANCER

Cancer insurance offers you and your family supplemental insurance protection in the event you or a covered family member is diagnosed with cancer. It pays a benefit directly to you to help with expenses associated with cancer treatment.

For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cedarhillisd

Treatment for cancer is often lengthy and expensive. While your health insurance helps pay the medical expenses for cancer treatment, it does not cover the cost of non-medical expenses, such as out-of-town treatments, special diets, daily living and household upkeep. In addition to these non medical expenses, you are responsible for paying your health plan deductibles and/or coinsurance. Cancer insurance through American Public Life helps pay for these direct and indirect treatment costs so you can focus on your health.

Important FSA Rules

The maximum per plan year you can contribute to a Health Care FSA is $3,050. The maximum per plan year you can contribute to a Dependent Care FSA is $5,000 when filing jointly or head of household and $2,500 when married filing separately.

• You cannot change your election during the year unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event.

• You can continue to file claims incurred during the plan year for another 30 days (up until date).

• Your Health Care or FSA debit card can be used for health care expenses only. It cannot be used to pay for dependent care expenses.

• The IRS has amended the “use it or lose it rule” to allow you to carry-over up to $610 in your Health Care FSA into the next plan year. The carry-over rule does not apply to your Dependent Care FSA.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Item Rule

Health care reform legislation requires that certain over-the-counter (OTC) items require a prescription to qualify as an eligible Health Care FSA expense. You will only need to obtain a one-time prescription for the current plan year. You can continue to purchase your regular prescription medications with your FSA debit card. However, the FSA debit card may not be used as payment for an OTC item, even when accompanied by a prescription.
