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 30 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.
Marital Status
Change in Number of Tax Dependents
Change in Status of Employment Affecting Coverage Eligibility
Gain/Loss of Dependents’ Eligibility Status
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.
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.
All new hire enrollment elections must be completed in the online enrollment system within the first 30 days of benefit eligibility employment. Failure to complete elections during this timeframe will result in the forfeiture of coverage.
For supplemental benefit questions, you can contact your Benefits Office or you can call Financial Benefit Services at (866) 914-5202 for assistance.

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.
Supplemental Benefits: Eligible employees must work 32 or more regularly scheduled hours each work week.
Eligible 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: 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.
You are performing your regular occupation for the employer on a full-time basis, either at one of the employer’s usual places of business or at some location to which the employer’s business requires you to travel.

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/lifeschoolofdallas
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.
You are eligible to open and contribute to an HSA if you are:
• Enrolled in an HSA-eligible HDHP (Offered only under the TSHBP HD or AETNA HD plans)
• 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.
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 during the plan year, you are eligible to make the catch-up contribution for the entire plan year.
If you meet the eligibility requirements, you may open an HSA administered by EECU. You will receive a debit card to manage your HSA account reimbursements. Keep in mind, available funds are limited to the balance in your HSA.
• Always ask your health care provider to file claims with your medical provider so network discounts can be applied. You can pay the provider with your HSA debit card based on the balance due after discount.
• You, not your employer, are responsible for maintaining ALL records and receipts for HSA reimbursements in the event of an IRS audit.
• You may open an HSA at the financial institution of your choice, but only accounts opened through EECU are eligible for automatic payroll deduction and company contributions.
• Online/Mobile: Sign-in for 24/7 account access to check your balance, pay bills and more.
• Call/Text: (817) 882-0800. EECU’s dedicated member service representatives are available to assist you with any questions. Their hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CT, Saturday 9:00 a.m. –1:00 p.m. CT and closed on Sunday.
• Lost/Stolen Debit Card: Call the 24/7 debit card hotline at (800) 333-9934
• Stop by a local EECU financial center for in-person assistance; find EECU locations & service hours a www.eecu.org/ locations.
A Flexible Spending Account allows you to pay for eligible healthcare expenses with a pre-loaded debit card. You choose the amount to set aside from your paycheck every plan year, based on your employer’s annual plan limit. This money is use it or lose it within the plan year (unless your plan contains a $500 rollover or grace period provision).
For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/lifeschoolofdallas

This account helps pay for expenses associated with caring for elder or child dependents so you or your spouse can work or attend school full time. You can use the account to pay for day care or baby sitter expenses for your children under age 13 and qualifying older dependents, such as dependent parents.
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 Limited Purpose 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 $570 in your Health Care FSA into the next plan year. The carry-over rule does not apply to your Dependent Care FSA.
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.
Dependent Care FSA
Most medical, dental and vision care expenses that are not covered by your health plan (such as copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, eyeglasses and doctor-prescribed over-thecounter medications)
Dependent care expenses (such as day care, after-school programs or elder care programs) so you and your spouse can work or attend school full-time
$5,000 single $2,500 if married and filing separate tax returns

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/lifeschoolofdallas
Who is eligible?
You are eligible for Long Term Disability (LTD) coverage if you are an active employee in the United States working a minimum of 32 hours per week. This benefit is employer paid.
What is my monthly benefit amount?
Your employer is providing a benefit of 60% of your monthly earnings to a maximum of $9,500.
How long do I have to wait to receive benefits?
The elimination period is the length of time you must be continuously disabled before you can receive benefits.
You could begin receiving LTD benefits if, after 90 days of disability, you are still disabled (as described in the definition of disability).
If you return to work while satisfying the elimination period and are no longer disabled, you may satisfy the elimination period within the accumulation period – you don’t have to be continuously disabled through the elimination period, if you are satisfying the elimination period under this provision. If you don’t satisfy the elimination period within the accumulation period, a new period of disability will begin.
Accumulation Period is the period of time from the date the disability begins during which you must satisfy the elimination period. The accumulation period is two times your elimination period.
During your elimination period, you will be considered disabled if you are limited from performing the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation due to your sickness or injury, and you are under the regular care of a physician. You are not required to have a 20% or
more earnings loss to be considered disabled during the elimination period due to the same sickness or injury.
How long will my benefits last?
The duration of your benefit payments is based on your age when your disability occurs. Your LTD benefits are payable for the period during which you continue to meet the definition of disability. If your disability occurs before age 62, benefits could be payable up to the Social Security Normal Retirement Age. If your disability occurs at or after age 62, your benefits would be paid according to the benefit duration schedule.
What is my maximum monthly benefit amount?
Your total monthly benefit (including all benefits provided under this plan) will not exceed 100% of your monthly earnings, unless the excess amount is payable as a Cost of Living Adjustment.
Your disability benefit may be reduced by deductible sources of income and any earnings you have while disabled. Deductible sources of income may include such items as disability income or other amounts you receive or are entitled to receive under: workers’ compensation or similar occupational benefit laws; state compulsory benefit laws; automobile liability and no fault insurance; legal judgments and settlements; certain retirement plans; other group or association disability programs or insurance; and amounts you or your family receive or are entitled to receive from Social Security or similar governmental programs.
During the first 24 months, you are disabled when Unum determines that:
• You are unable to perform the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation* due to sickness or injury and are not working; or
• You have a 20% or more loss of indexed monthly earnings while working.
• After 24 months of payments, you are disabled when Unum determines that due to the same sickness or injury:
• You are unable to perform the duties of any gainful occupation for which you are reasonably fitted by education, training or experience.
Can I receive rehabilitation and return-to-work services?
If you are deemed eligible and are participating in the program, Unum will pay an additional benefit of 10% of your gross disability payment to a maximum of $1,000 per month.
What other services are available?
If you are disabled, participating in the rehabilitation and return-to-work assistance program, and have dependent care expenses, you may also receive the dependent care expense benefit — $350 per dependent per month, to a monthly maximum of $1,000 for all eligible dependents combined.
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.

Who is eligible?
You are eligible for Short Term Disability coverage if you are an active employee in the United States working a minimum of 32 hours per week.
What is my weekly benefit amount?
You can elect to purchase a benefit of 60% of your weekly earnings to a maximum of $500 per week.
How long do I have to wait to receive benefits?
The elimination period is the length of time you must be continuously disabled before you can receive benefits. If your disability is the result of a covered injury or sickness, you could begin receiving benefits after 7 days.
When would I be considered disabled?
• You are disabled when Unum determines that, due to sickness or injury:
• You are limited from performing the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation
• You have a 20% or more loss in weekly earnings due to the same sickness or injury.
• You must be under the regular care of a physician to be considered disabled.
*Unless the policy specifies otherwise, as part of the disability claims evaluation process, Unum will evaluate your occupation based on how it is normally performed in the national economy, not how work is performed for a specific employer, at a specific location, or in a specific region.
How long will my benefits last?
If you continue to meet the definition of disability, you may receive benefits for 12 weeks.
Do you have kids playing sports, are you a weekend warrior, or maybe accident prone? Accident plans are designed to help pay for medical costs associated with accidents and benefits are paid directly to you.
