This booklet highlights important features of Eloy Elementary School District’s benefits for its benefit eligible employees. While efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented, in the event of any discrepancies your actual coverage and benefits will be determined by the legal plan documents and the contracts that govern these plans.

Enrollment Information OPEN ENROLLMENT

PRE-TAX VS POST-TAX DEDUCTIONS

Open Enrollment is from May 2nd through May 13th, 2022. This is your one time per year to make changes.

Pre-Tax Dollars: Your insurance premiums are paid with money deducted from your gross wages prior to any tax calculations. This reduces your tax liability and is a more efficient way to pay for premiums.

This year, open enrollment will be an active enrollment that will be done via an online enrollment form link that will be sent to you along with your current elections. This means that you will need to complete the enrollment form even if you are not making changes to your benefit elections.

Post-Tax Dollars: Some insurance premiums may be paid after taxes are deducted from your gross pay. Please contact Ed Sauceda for more information related to the specific premiums that are deducted post-tax. 

NEW EMPLOYEES New Employees have 31 days from your hire date to complete enrollment in the group insurance program. If you have moved from a non-benefits-eligible status to a benefits eligible status, you will have 31 days from the new benefits eligible status date to complete your enrollment. All insurance coverage starts at the first of the month.

Remember, if elections are not made within the 31day initial period of eligibility, you will be required to wait until Annual Open Enrollment or until a Qualifying Life Event takes place. Late Enrollees will be required to complete an evidence of insurability form for voluntary life insurance. You may be turned down for these benefits if you do not enroll within your first 31 days as a new hire.

ELOY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Qualifying Life Event

COBRA

The elections that you make during Open Enrollment or at initial benefits eligibility will remain in effect for the plan year (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023).

During that time, if your life or family status changes as per the recognized events listed below, you are permitted to revise your benefits coverage to accommodate your new status. You may make benefits changes by contacting the Benefits Department and providing the proper documentation.

In most cases, if your employment ends, benefits will terminate on the last day of the month in which you stopped working. Benefits will end on the day of termination in cases of employee fraud.

IRS regulations govern which circumstances allow you to make changes to your benefits, which benefits you can change and what kinds of changes are permitted.

• All changes must be consistent with the qualifying life event.

• In most cases, you cannot change your benefit plan, but may modify the level of your coverage (in other words, you can add or delete dependents, enroll or dis-enroll yourself or dependents, but not switch insurance carriers or plans).

Any changes in benefit levels must be completed within 31 days of the qualifying life event.

QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTS LIST Marital Status Changes

Covered Dependent Changes

• Marriage • Death of spouse • Divorce • Spouse gains or loses coverage from another source • Spouse employer’s Open Enrollment

• Birth or adoption of a child • Death of dependent child • Dependent becomes ineligible for coverage

4

Through federal legislation known as the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), you may choose to continue coverage by paying the full monthly premium cost plus an administrative charge of 2% (if applicable).

Each individual who is covered by an Eloy Elementary School District benefit plan immediately preceding the employee’s COBRA event has the right to continue his or her medical, dental or vision plan.

The right to continuation of coverage ends at the earliest of the date: • you, your spouse or dependents become covered under another group health plan; or, • you become entitled to Medicare; or, • you fail to pay the cost of coverage; or • your COBRA Continuation Period expires.

ELOY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Disability Information Disability coverage can be one of the most important benefits you have. It provides you and your family with financial protection if you are ever unable to work due to an illness or non-work related injury.

LONG TERM DISABILITY All employees who work 20 or more hours per week for 20 weeks per year will pay premiums through mandatory contributions to Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) for Long Term Disability (LTD).

Elimination period: Benefit Amount:

180 Days 66 2/3% of monthly base salary as determined by ASRS

Life/AD&D Insurance BASIC LIFE INSURANCE AND AD&D Life insurance provides protection for those who depend on you financially. Your need varies greatly due to age, number of dependents, dependent ages and your financial situation. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) benefits provide a benefit to you or your beneficiary if you are seriously injured or die in an accident. You also have an opportunity to purchase Basic Dependent Life for Dependents in the amount of $2,000 for Spouse and $1,000 for child(ren).

Eloy Elementary School District pays 100% of the cost of this MetLife Group Term Life Insurance Plan.

Coverage for each benefit eligible employee is $50,000.

VOLUNTARY LIFE / AD&DSchool INSURANCE Eloy Elementary District pays 100% of the cost of the Term Life and AD&D.

10

You can also elect to purchase additional life insurance for yourself, your spouse or children.

• Employee $10,000 increments to a maximum of $500,000 or 5x annual earnings.

• Spouse $5,000 benefit increments to a maximum of $100,000 not to exceed 50% of the employee amount.

• Children Flat Amount: $1,000, $2,000, $4,000, $5,000, or $10,000 Note that if you were previously eligible for the voluntary life insurance but declined or if you select an amount above the Guarantee Issue, you may be required to fill out a statement of health in order to enroll in the voluntary life benefit.

Employee Assistance Program Alliance Work Partners - An EAP provides valuable services at no cost to employees and their families in the form of short-term counseling, legal and financial consultations through LawAccess, and worklife resources and referral through Work/Life Standard.
