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.
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.

Educator Disability - Definitions
What is disability insurance? 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. This type of disability plan is called an educator disability plan and includes both long and short term coverage into one convenient plan.
Pre-Existing Condition Limitations - Please note that all plans will include pre-existing condition limitations that could impact you if you are a first-time enrollee in your employer’s disability plan. This includes during your initial new hire enrollment. Please review your plan details to find more information about preexisting condition limitations.
How do I choose which plan to enroll in during my open enrollment?
1. First choose your elimination period. The elimination period, sometimes referred to as the waiting period, is how long you are disabled and unable to work before your benefit will begin. This will be displayed as 2 numbers such as 0/7, 14/14, 30/30, 60/60, 90/90, etc.
The first number indicates the number of days you must be disabled due to Injury and the second number indicates the number of days you must be disabled due to Sickness
When choosing your elimination period, ask yourself, “How long can I go without a paycheck?” Based on the answer to this question, choose your elimination period accordingly.
Important Note- some plans will waive the elimination period if you choose 30/30 or less and you are confined as an inpatient to the hospital for a specific time period. Please review your plan details to see if this feature is available to you.
2. Next choose your benefit amount. This is the maximum amount of money you would receive from the carrier on a monthly basis once your disability claim is approved by the carrier.
When choosing your monthly benefit, ask yourself, “How much money do I need to be able to pay my monthly expenses?” Based on the answer to this question, choose your monthly benefit accordingly.

Health Savings Account (HSA) EECU
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.mybeneitshub.com/sampleisd
www.mybenefitshub.com/friscoisd
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.
HSA Eligibility
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.
Maximum Contributions
Your HSA contributions may not exceed the annual maximum amount established by the Internal Revenue Service. The annual contribution maximum for 2024 is based on the coverage option you elect:
• Individual – $4,150
• Family (filing jointly) – $8,300
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 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.
Important HSA Information
• 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.
How To Use Your HSA
• 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. to 1:00 p.m. CT and closed on Sunday.

Legal experts on your side, whenever you need them
Quality legal assistance can be pricey. And it can be hard to know where to turn to find an attorney you trust. For a monthly fee, you can have a team of top attorneys ready to help you take care of life’s planned and unplanned legal events.
MetLife Legal Plans, formerly known as Hyatt Legal Plans, gives you access to experts who can assist you with a broad range of personal legal needs you might face throughout your life. This could be when you’re buying or selling a home, starting a family, dealing with identity theft, or caring for aging parents.
You may be thinking — why would top attorneys need or want to join a legal plan network? But even experienced attorneys need to grow their practice. By providing exceptional service to you and other plan members, they can gain more clients through your referrals. That’s how we’ve established a large network of highly experienced attorneys, averaging 25 years of experience.
Reduce the out of pocket cost of legal services with MetLife Legal Plans.
How it works
Our service is tailored to your needs. With network attorneys available in person, by phone, or by email and online tools to do-it-yourself or plan your next move — we make it easy to get legal help. And, you will always have a choice in which attorney to use. You can choose one from our network of prequalified attorneys, or use an attorney outside of our network and be reimbursed some of the cost.1
Best of all, you have unlimited access to our attorneys for all legal matters covered under the plan. For a monthly premium conveniently paid through payroll deduction, an expert is on your side as long as you need them.
When you need help with a personal legal matter, MetLife Legal Plans is there for you to help make it a little easier.

Family Protection Plan
Group Term Life Insurance to age 121 with Quality of Life underwritten by 5Star Life Insurance Company
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.

Group Term Life Insurance to age 121 with Quality of Life underwritten by 5Star Life Insurance Company
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.
