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 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 Higginbotham Public Sector at (866) 914-5202 for assistance.
Where can I find forms?
For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to your benefit website: www.ctxebc.com. 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 CTXEBC benefit website: www.ctxebc.com. 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 log in 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
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):
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
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.
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.
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.

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 Higginbotham Public Sector, 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 Higginbotham Public Sector, 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 Higginbotham Public Sector 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
HSA Basics
Q What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?
A A Health Savings Account allows you to save money, earn interest and spend money on a tax-free basis as long as the money being spent is on qualified medical expenses1. Unused HSA funds roll over from year to year, no “use it or lose it”. You own your HSA and can take it with you when you change medical plans, change jobs or retire.
To be eligible to set up an HSA and contribute to an HSA, you must be covered by a qualified High Deductible Health Plan, have no other coverage (e.g. Medicare) and cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s taxes.
Q What is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)?
A For 2023, a High Deductible Health Plan is a plan with an annual deductible of at least $1,500 for an Individual or $3,000 for Family coverage; and, the maximum out of pocket expenses must be no more than $7,500 for Individuals and no more than $15,000 for Family coverage. For 2024, a High Deductible Health Plan is a plan with an annual deductible of at least $1,600 for an Individual or $3,200 for Family coverage; and, the maximum out of pocket expenses must be no more than $8,050 for Individuals and no more than $16,100 for Family coverage.
Q Who is eligible to open an HSA?
A To be an eligible and qualify for an HSA, you must meet the following requirements.
• You are covered under a high deductible health plan (HDHP), described above.
• You have no other health coverage.
• You aren’t enrolled in Medicare.
• You can’t be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.
Q How does an HSA work?
A Health Savings Accounts work with high deductible health insurance plans. This enables consumers to save money on health insurance premiums, since HDHP’s typically cost less than traditional health insurance, while allowing account holders to contribute money to the account to pay out-of-pocket medical expenses up to the deductible.
• Contribute: you can make contributions (pre-tax and after-tax) to your HSA. Pre-tax contributions can reduce your taxable income and after-tax contributions are deductible. Contributions can be made by you, your employer or a third party via payroll deduction, online banking transfer or depositing a paper check. Contributions to your HSA as well as any earnings on those contributions grow tax deferred2
• Make Payments: you can pay for qualified medical expenses with your EECU HSA Mastercard® debit card, EECU Online Banking or HSA check (optional3). Payments or withdrawals from your HSA that are used for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. In addition, withdrawals can also be used for your deductible and co-pays.

What is my monthly benefit amount?
How long do I have to wait to receive benefits?
You can elect to purchase a benefit of 45%, 55% or 65% of your monthly earnings.
The elimination period is the length of time you must be continuously disabled before you can receive benefits.

Option 2: 30 days/30 days first day hospital

If, because of your disability, you are hospital confined as an inpatient, benefits begin on the first day of inpatient confinement.

What is my maximum monthly benefit amount?
What else is included with this policy?
Please see your plan administrator for your effective date.
You may receive coverage without answering any medical questions or providing evidence of insurability if you apply for coverage within 31 days after your eligibility date. If you apply more than 31 days after your eligibility date, your coverage will be subject to a 3/12 pre-existing condition exclusion.
Please see your plan administrator for your eligibility date.
Insurance will be delayed if you are not in active employment because of an injury, sickness, temporary layoff, or leave of absence on the date that insurance would otherwise become effective.
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.
Worldwide emergency travel assistance is included with this long term disability plan. Emergency travel assistance is available to you, your spouse* and your dependent children when you travel to any foreign country, including Canada or Mexico. It is also available anywhere in the United States when you travel just 100 or more miles from home.
*A spouse traveling on business for his or her employer is not covered by the program.
Does this plan include help with work-life balance?
What is not covered?
Yes. Our work-life balance employee assistance program (EAP) provides professional advice for a wide range of personal and work-related issues. The service is available to you and your family members 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It provides resources to help you find solutions to everyday issues — such as financing a car or selecting child care — as well as more serious problems, such as alcohol or drug addiction, divorce or relationship problems. There is no additional charge for using the program, and you do not have to have filed a disability claim or be receiving benefits to use the program.
Benefits would not be paid for disabilities caused by, contributed to by, or resulting from:
• Intentionally self-inflicted injuries;
• Active participation in a riot;
• War, declared or undeclared, or any act of war;
• Commission of a crime for which you have been convicted;
• Loss of professional license, occupational license or certification;
• Pre-existing conditions (see pre-existing condition section); or
• Any occupational injury or sickness for Short Term Disability coverage.
The loss of a professional or occupational license does not, in itself, constitute disability.
Unum will not pay a benefit for any period of disability during which you are incarcerated.
What is considered a pre-existing condition?
You have a pre-existing condition if:
•You received medical treatment, consultation, care or services including diagnostic measures, or took prescribed drugs or medicines in the 3 months just prior to your effective date of coverage; and •The disability begins in the first 12 months after your effective date of coverage.
Benefits under this provision are payable for no more than 90 days of benefit from the date of disability. After 90 days, benefits are subject to a 3/12 preexisting condition exclusion. In no event will benefits be paid beyond the applicable benefit duration. This applies to new hires. Late entrants will be subject to a 3/12 pre-ex.
When does my coverage end?
How can I apply for coverage?
Your coverage under the policy ends on the earliest of the following:
• The date the policy or plan is cancelled;
• The date you no longer are in an eligible group;
• The date your eligible group is no longer covered;
• The last day of the period for which you made any required contributions;
• The last day you are in active employment except as provided under the covered layoff or leave of absence provision.
Please see your plan administrator for further information on these provisions.
Unum will provide coverage for a payable claim which occurs while you are covered under the policy or plan.
To apply for coverage, complete your enrollment online by the enrollment deadline.
Check with your plan administrator for your eligibility date, and complete your enrollment online within 31 days of that date.
You are considered in active employment, if on the day you apply for coverage, you are being paid regularly by your employer for the required minimum hours each week and you are performing the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation.
The work-life balance employee assistance program, provided by LifeWorks, is available with select Unum insurance offerings. Terms and availability of service are subject to change.

EN-1776 (1-17) FOR EMPLOYEES
Term Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance
How does it work?
You choose the amount of coverage that’s right for you, and you keep coverage for a set period of time, or “term.” If you die during that term, the money can help your family pay for basic living expenses, final arrangements, tuition and more.
AD&D Insurance is also available, which pays a benefit if you survive an accident but have certain serious injuries. It pays an additional amount if you die from a covered accident.
Why is this coverage so valuable?
If you previously purchased coverage, you can increase it up to $250,000 to meet your growing needs — with no medical underwriting.
What else is included?
A ‘Living’ Benefit — If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness with less than 12 months to live, you can request 75% of your life insurance benefit (up to $500,000) while you are still living. This amount will be taken out of the death benefit, and may be taxable. These benefit payments may adversely affect the recipient’s eligibility for Medicaid or other government benefits or entitlements, and may be taxable. Recipients should consult their tax attorney or advisor before utilizing living benefit payments.
Waiver of premium — Your cost may be waived if you are totally disabled for a period of time.
Portability — You may be able to keep coverage if you leave the company, retire or change the number of hours you work. Employees or dependents who have a sickness or injury having a material effect on life expectancy at the time their group coverage ends are not eligible for portability.

Family Protection Plan
Group Term Life Insurance to age 121 with Quality of Life
Make a smart choice to help protect your loved ones and your future.
Life doesn’t come with a lesson plan
Help protect your family with the Family Protection Plan Group Level Term Life Insurance to age 121. You can get coverage for your spouse even if you don’t elect coverage on yourself. And you can cover your financially dependent children and grandchildren (14 days to 26 years old). The coverage lasts until age 121 for all insured,* so no matter what the future brings, your family is protected.
Why buy life insurance when you’re young?
Buying life insurance when you’re younger allows you to take advantage of lower premium rates while you’re generally healthy, which allows you to purchase more insurance coverage for the future. This is especially important if you have dependents who rely on your income, or you have debt that would need to be paid off.
Portable
Coverage continues with no loss of benefits or increase in cost if you terminate employment after the first premium is paid. We simply bill you directly.
Why is portability important?
Life moves fast so having a portable life insurance allows you to keep your coverage if you leave your school district. Keeping the coverage helps you ensure your family is protected even into your retirement years.
44% of American households would encounter significant financial difficulties within six months if they lost the primary family wage earner. 28% would reach this point in one month or less.
Family Protection Plan
Group Term
Terminal illness acceleration of benefits
Coverage pays 30% (25% in CT and MI) of the coverage amount in a lump sum upon the occurrence of a terminal condition that will result in a limited life span of less than 12 months (24 months in IL).
Protection you can count on
Within one business day of notification, payment of 50% of coverage or $10,000 whichever is less is mailed to the beneficiary, unless the death is within the two-year contestability period and/or under investigation. This coverage has no war or terrorism exclusions.
Convenient
Easy payment through payroll deduction.
Quality of Life benefit
Optional benefit that accelerates a portion of the death benefit on a monthly basis, up to 75% of your benefit, and is payable directly to you on a tax favored basis* for the following:
•Permanent inability to perform at least two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) without substantial assistance; or
•Permanent severe cognitive impairment, such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of senility, requiring substantial supervision.
How does Quality of Life help?
Many individuals who can’t take care of themselves require special accommodations to perform ADLs and would need to make modifications to continue to live at home with physical limitation. The proceeds from the Quality of Life benefit can be used for any purpose, including costs for infacility care, home healthcare professionals, home modifications, and more.

About the coverage
The Family Protection Plan offers a lump-sum cash benefit if you die before age 121. The initial death benefit is guaranteed to be level for at least the first ten policy years. Afterward, the company intends to provide a nonguaranteed death benefit enhancement which will maintain the initial death benefit level until age 121. The company has the right to discontinue this enhancement. The death benefit enhancement cannot be discontinued on a particular insured due to a change in age, health, or employment status.
Cash benefits when you need them most — Cancer Insurance from Chubb
A cancer diagnosis and treatment can be an emotionally and physically difficult time. Chubb is there to help support you by providing cash benefits paid directly to you. Benefits are paid if you are diagnosed with cancer, but also help cover many other cancer-related services such as doctor’s visits, treatments, specialty care, and recovery. However, there are no restrictions on how to use these cash benefits—so you can use them as you see fit.
Choose the right level of coverage during the enrollment period to better protect your family.

Definitions and provisions
Continuity of coverage
Definition of cancer
If the certificate replaced another cancer indemnity certificate or individual policy, your coverage under the certificate shall not limit or exclude coverage for a preexisting condition or waiting period that would have been covered under the policy being replaced.
Benefits payable for a pre-existing condition or during the waiting period will be the lesser of the benefits that would have been payable under the terms of the prior coverage if it had remained in force; or the benefits payable under the certificate. Time periods applicable to pre-existing conditions and waiting periods will be waived to the extent that similar limitations or exclusions were satisfied under the coverage being replaced.
Continuity of coverage is only extended to the benefits provided under the certificate. The certificate may not include all the benefits provided under the prior coverage.
Cancer means carcinoma in situ, leukemia, or a malignant tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and invasion or spread of malignant cells to distant tissue. Cancer is also defined as cancer which meets the diagnosis criteria of malignancy established by the American Board of Pathology after a study of the histocytologic architecture or pattern of the suspect tumor, tissue, or specimen.
Carcinoma in situ means a malignant tumor which is typically classified as Stage 0 cancer, where the tumor cells still lie within the tissue of the site of origin without having invaded neighboring tissue.
Definitions and provisions (cont.)

The following are not considered cancer: Pre-malignant conditions or conditions with malignant potential; non-invasive basal cell carcinoma of the skin; non-invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; or melanoma diagnosed as Clark’s Level I or II or Breslow less than .75mm.

What You Need to Know
The credit scores provided are based on the VantageScore 3.0 model. For three-bureau VantageScore credit scores, data from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion are used respectively. Any one-bureau VantageScore uses Equifax data. Third parties use many different types of credit scores and are likely to use a different type of credit score to assess your creditworthiness.
(1)Dark Web Monitoring scans thousands of internet sites where consumers’ personal information is suspected of being bought and sold, and is constantly adding new sites to those it searches. However, the internet addresses of these suspected internet trading sites are not published and frequently change, so there is no guarantee that ID Watchdog is able to locate and search every possible internet site where consumers’ personal information is at risk of being traded. (2)The monitored network does not cover all businesses or transactions. (3)Applicable for enrolled family members only. (4)Monitoring from TransUnion and Experian will take several days to begin. (5)Under certain circumstances, access to your Equifax Credit Report may not be available as certain consumer credit files maintained by Equifax contain credit histories, multiple trade accounts, and/or an extraordinary number of inquiries of a nature that prevents or delays the delivery of your Equifax Credit Report. If a remedy for the failure is not available, the product subscription will be cancelled and a full refund will be made. (6)Locking your Equifax or TransUnion credit report will prevent access to it by certain third parties. Locking your Equifax or TransUnion credit report will not prevent access to your credit report at any other credit reporting agency. Entities that may still have access to your Equifax or TransUnion credit report include: companies like ID Watchdog and TransUnion Interactive, Inc. which provide you with access to your credit report or credit score, or monitor your credit report as part of a subscription or similar service; companies that provide you with a copy of your credit report or credit score, upon your request; federal, state, and local government agencies and courts in certain circumstances; companies using the information in connection with the underwriting of insurance, or for employment, tenant or background screening purposes; companies that have a current account or relationship with you, and collection agencies acting on behalf of those whom you owe; companies that authenticate a consumer’s identity for purposes other than granting credit, or for investigating or preventing actual or potential fraud; and companies that wish to make pre-approved offers of credit or insurance to you. To opt out of preapproved offers, visit www.optoutprescreen.com. (7)The Identity Theft Insurance is underwritten and administered by American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida, an Assurant company. Please refer to the actual policies for terms, conditions, and exclusions of coverage. Coverage may not be available in all jurisdictions. Review the Summary of Benefits (www.idwatchdog.com/terms/insurance). (8)The Integrated Fraud Alert feature is made available to consumers by Equifax Information Services LLC and fulfilled on its behalf by Identity Rehab Corporation. (9)May be subject to delay or change.
