SUMMARY PAGES

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 Benefits Office within 30 days of your qualifying event and meet with your Benefit/HR Office to complete and sign the necessary paperwork 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

Judgment/Decree/ Order

Eligibility for Government Programs

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, 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.

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.

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 30 days of benefit eligible 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 Benefits/HR department 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/ socorroisd. 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 Socorro ISD benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/socorroisd. 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.

SUMMARY PAGES

Annual Benefit Enrollment

Employee Eligibility Requirements

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 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 HR/Benefit Administrator to request a continuation of coverage.

Disability Insurance

York

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/socorroisd

A disability doesn’t always mean a serious handicap. It can be any illness or injury that prevents you from earning your salary. Consider what would happen if you couldn’t work or pay your bills. How might this affect your savings and your lifestyle?

Disability insurance from New York Life Group Benefit Solutions (NYL GBS), can help provide the financial protection and assurance you’ll need if you experience a covered illness or injury that keeps you out of work.

Who’s eligible for disability insurance, and what are the plan options?

All active, Full Time Employees of the Employer regularly working a minimum of 30 hours per week in the United States, who are citizens or permanent resident aliens of the United States. Coverage is available for Long term disability (LTD).

Why is disability insurance important?

Disability insurance can pay you benefits if you suffer a covered disability. Think of it as insurance for a portion of your paycheck. Payments may come directly to you or someone you designate and can help pay for things like:

• Groceries

• The Mortgage

• Utilities

• Medical Bills
