3 ENTER USERNAME & PASSWORD
Your Username Is: Your Keller ISD employee email address is your username.
Your Generic Password Is: Four (4) digits of your birth year followed by the last four (4) digits of your Social Security Number
During your annual open enrollment, your password is reset to the generic password. Once you change your password, you will log in with that password moving forward.
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/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.
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
Eligibility for Government Programs
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.
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 eligible employment. Failure to complete elections during this timeframe will result in the forfeiture of coverage.
For supplemental benefit questions, you can contact Benefits in the HR department or you can call Financial Benefit Services at 866-914-5202 for assistance.
For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/ kellerisd. 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.
For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to the Keller ISD benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/kellerisd. Click on the benefit plan you need information on (i.e., Dental) and you can find provider search links under the Quick Links section.
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 20 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 January 1, 2023, you must be actively-at-work on January 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 Keller ISD Benefits, 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 Keller ISD Benefits, 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 HR/Benefit Administrator 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.

The QCD of America Dental & Vision Benefit Program is a managed cost program offering a large selection of highly qualified private practice dental and optical professionals.
QCD believes that you should pay the lowest monthly cost possible for comprehensive dental and vision benefit coverage for your family. The member benefits from significant cost savings when and if services are used.
When selecting dental benefits, QCD makes good financial sense. QCD allows you to allocate more of your benefit expenditures to your rising medical costs. A single dental procedure (Root Canal and Crown) could cost you as much as $2000 with no coverage. The QCD program will allow you to save up to 60% on the total cost – that could be as much as $1200 in savings and enough to fund your family’s monthly dental and vision benefit costs for several years.

Davis Vision is pleased to provide you with a no-cost, traditional vision Discount Program that provides significant discounts on eye exams, lenses, frames and additional eyewear options. For more details, see the Accessing Provider Information section on the reverse side.
The Discount Program entitles you to the following discounts off usual and customary fees:
Lens 1-2-3! Membership – Free Membership Up to 50% Laser Vision Correction Discount Up to 25% off Provider’s U & C Up to 25%
Eye Examination – Members will receive a 15% discount on their comprehensive eye examination including dilation (when professionally indicated).
Eyewear (Frames and Spectacle Lenses or Contact Lenses) –Members will be entitled to substantial and verifiable savings on all of their eyewear needs. Discounts are uniform nationally and represent pricing well below Average Retail Prices. These discounts are based on published industry standard costs, not markdowns from artificially inflated prices.
Significant Savings – Client surveys indicate that programs providing discounts off retail prices of eyeglasses are subject to abuse due to the high associated markups of over 300% throughout the optical industry. Consequently, these programs do not result in a true “value-add” for the beneficiary. The proposed fixed-fee discounted pricing schedule provides both verifiable savings and benefit uniformity for all members from coast to coast.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is more than a way to help you and your family cover health care costs – it is also 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 (High Deductible Health Plan)
• 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 2022 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.
Opening an HSA
If you meet the eligibility requirements, you may open an HSA administered by United Healthcare. 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 United HealthCare are eligible for automatic payroll deduction and company contributions.
