SUMMARY PAGES

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):

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.

QUALIFYING EVENTS

Marital Status

A change in marital status includes marriage, death of a spouse, divorce or annulment (legal separation is not recognized in all states).

Change in Number of Tax Dependents

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 Status of Employment Affecting Coverage Eligibility

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 Gain/Loss of Dependents' under an employer's plan may include change in age, student, marital, employment or tax dependent Eligibility Status 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 Judgment/Decree/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. Eligibility for Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change. Government Programs

Drug Deductible Short-Term Supply at a Retail Location

Extended-Day Supply at Mail Order or Retail-Plus Pharmacy Location (60- to

90-day supply)****

Specialty Medications Short-Term Supply of a Maintenance Medication at Retail Location (up to a 31-day supply)

What is a maintenance medication? Maintenance drugs are prescriptions commonly used to treat conditions that are considered chronic or long-term. These conditions usually require regular, daily use of medicines. Examples of maintenance drugs are those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and diabetes.

When does the convenience fee apply? For example, if you are covered under TRS-ActiveCare Select, the first time you fill a 31-day supply of a generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy you will pay $20, then you will pay $35 each month that you fill a 31-day supply of that generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy. A 90-day supply of that same generic maintenance medication would cost $45, and you would save $225 over the year by filling a 90-day supply.

Premium Information for ALEX You will need to enter the applicable amount – YOUR ANNUAL COST – from the table below into ALEX when prompted. To determine this cost, ask your Benefits Administrator for your monthly cost (this is the amount you will owe each month after your employer contributes to your coverage). Then multiply your monthly cost by 12 to get YOUR ANNUAL COST (use this amount for ALEX) Individual

A specialist is any physician other than family practitioner, internist, OB/GYN or pediatrician. *Illustrates benefits when in-network providers are used. For some plans non-network benefits are also available; there is no coverage for non-network benefits under the ActiveCare Select or ActiveCare Select Whole Health Plan; see Enrollment Guide for more information. Non-contracting providers may bill for amounts exceeding the allowable amount for covered services. Participants will be responsible for this balance bill amount, which maybe considerable. **For ActiveCare 1-HD, certain generic preventive drugs are covered at 100%. Participants do not have to meet the deductible ($2,500 - individual, $5,000 - family) and they pay nothing out of pocket for these drugs. The list of drugs is on the TRS-ActiveCare website. ***If a participant obtains a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, they are responsible for the generic copay plus the cost difference between the brand-name drug and the generic drug. 13 ****Participants can fill 32-day to 90-day supply through mail order.

Important Policy Provisions Eligibility

You are eligible to be covered under this Policy/Certificate if you are Actively At Work, qualify for coverage as defined in the Master Application, are covered under your Employer’s Medical Plan and are under age 70 (if you work for an employer employing less than 20 employees). Your Eligible Dependents, as defined in the Policy/Certificate, are eligible for coverage if they are covered under the Employer’s Medical Plan. You must apply for insurance during the Initial Enrollment period or on the date the person first becomes eligible for coverage. If you do not apply during the Initial Enrollment period or on the date you become eligible for coverage, you may be subject to additional underwriting by APL. Evidence of coverage under your Employer’s Medical Plan is required.

When Coverage Begins

Coverage will begin on the requested Certificate Effective Date or the Certificate Effective Date assigned by us, upon approval of your application, if our underwriting rules are met, the premium has been paid and all persons to be insured are covered under your Employer’s Medical Plan and you are Actively At Work on the Certificate Effective Date. If you are not Actively At Work on the Certificate Effective Date due to disability, Injury, Sickness, temporary layoff, leave of absence or Family and Medical Leave of Absence, coverage begins on the date you return to Actively At Work.

Limitations & Exclusions No benefits will be payable for expenses incurred during any period the Covered Person does not have coverage under your Employer’s Medical Plan, except as provided in the Absence of the Insured’s Employer’s Medical Plan provision, described in the Policy. A hospital is not an institution, or part thereof, used as: a place for rehabilitation, a place for rest or for the aged, a nursing or convalescent home, a long term nursing unit or geriatrics ward, or an extended care facility for the care of convalescent, rehabilitative or ambulatory patients.

Pre-Existing Condition Limitation

No benefits are payable during the Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion Period following the Covered Person’s Effective Date for any loss resulting from a Pre-Existing Condition. The Pre-Existing Condition Limitation will apply only if the Covered Person is subject to a Pre-Existing Condition Limitation under the Employer’s Medical Plan. Therefore, any Pre-Existing Condition Limitation applied to the Major Medical plan would, in effect, limit coverage under this plan. 18 APSB-22354(TX) MGM/FBS Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD

Q. Do employees have to pay to use the services?

A. Help is only a call or a click away. Your employees are

A. Unum is providing the program through your group

given a toll-free number and a website address to access — both are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If your staff call, master’s-level consultants are available immediately to discuss their concerns. The EAP services are designed to help your managers and front line staff be healthier and more productive by helping them with problems at both work and home.

disability or life insurance. Your employees are not charged for calling a consultant, using the website or downloading materials. Also, employees can receive up to three local, face-to-face counseling sessions* for each problem (not just per year). However, if an employee or caller selects a referral to a child or elder care provider, attorney, social worker, etc., the caller is responsible for paying for services not included in this program. In addition, some services may be payable under the employee’s medical or health insurance plan, so the consultant will advise the caller to review his or her policy’s details.

Q. How do employees access the EAP service? A. Employees call one of the central, toll-free numbers (1-800-854-1446 for English, 1-877-858-2147 for Spanish and 1-800-999-3004 for TTY/TDD) or go online at www.lifebalance.net (ID and password are both “lifebalance”). There is also now a LifeWorks mobile app (user ID and password are both “lifebalance”).

Q. Who provides the work-life balance EAP services? A. The work-life balance employee assistance program is provided through Unum, as part of your group disability or life insurance, in partnership with Ceridian. The two companies began working together in 1992, when they offered the nation’s first work-life balance employee assistance program integrated with group insurance. The resulting service provides clients with an affordable and valuable offer that benefits both them and their employees. Established in 1932, Ceridian is the nation’s first provider of fully integrated EAP, work-life and wellness services. It partners with more than 42,000 organizations around the world on health and productivity solutions. Ceridian provides work-life services in 170 languages to over 14 million employees around the world. Ceridian is a leading provider of human resource solutions and support in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Q. How can this service help my company? A. The work-life balance employee assistance program can help you with increasing staff demands, administrative requirements, assisting employees on disability and addressing productivity. In addition to helping your employees become more productive by assisting them with their personal or professional problems, this program can also help your managers. Managers and supervisors can call the toll-free number around the clock to speak with master’s-level management consultants who can coach them on handling disciplinary actions, staff communications, performance problems, and corporate change. They can use these consultants to prepare for a difficult conversation, make a mandatory employee EAP referral, have a confidential sounding board and get an unbiased, third-party view. They also have unlimited website access to online guides, articles, web links, ebooks and podcasts to help them manage their work force and their work load. This program is also part of a beneficial and valuable benefits package that can help recruit and retain high performance employees. From around-the-clock phone consultations with master’s-level consultants to elder-and child-care searches and referrals, the work-life balance EAP can help your staff balance the shifting priorities of work and home. Employees and their families will have unlimited access to resources — online and by phone — to help with work issues, child care, addiction, depression, elder care and other concerns. In addition to phone assistance, three local face-to-face counseling sessions* (per issue, not per year) are also included. 27


Work Life Balance Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Q. How can one toll-free number help employees located all over the country?

Q. Can the service help with special needs? A. Yes. Programs available for special needs children

A. When employees call the toll-free number, a consultant and adults vary considerably depending on the will talk to them about their problems and needs no matter where they reside in the U.S., no matter what time of day they call. Ceridian maintains a national database of local mental health providers contracted to provide face-to-face sessions as well as other referral sources.

family’s location. In many areas, resources are scarce. Nevertheless, a consultant will help the family identify all possible options available to meet their special need — and work with them until a solution is found.

Q. Can employees call more than once? A. Yes. Employees and their immediate family members

can call the service as often as they wish for information and referrals. They can also call to discuss their current A. Yes, within the constraints of the law.** No information arrangements, concerns regarding day-to-day issues and problems balancing the demands of work against those about your employees or what they discuss with the of a personal nature. consultants will be available to anyone without their explicit written consent — not even to their family.

Q. Are all calls confidential?

Q. Can employees talk to the same consultant?

Q. What information do employees need to give consultants? A. The consultant will ask for name, phone number, email address, city and the nature of the call. This helps the consultant address the caller personally, email requested information and make referrals to local resources. It also helps the consultant in subsequent calls. Each caller is screened for risk to ensure they are not in danger. All information provided is confidential from the employer.

Q. Can the service help if the employee’s family lives in another state? A. Absolutely. A consultant will provide information on various options and alternatives available in the caller’s community (or in a community he or she specifies) when direct services related to legal resources, child care, elder care, disability assistance or mental health counseling are necessary.

A. Yes. Actually, they are encouraged to talk with the same consultant. Usually toward the end of the first call, the consultant will ask whether the caller wants to talk again. If the caller does, he or she decides who will call whom, when, where, and whether the consultant can leave his or her name and a message on the caller’s answering machine.

Q. Can employees give the 800-number to just anyone? A. You and your employees decide who gets the number. The service is for all of your staff that is covered by the Unum group insurance plan and anyone close to them — children, parents, domestic partners, and spouses — whose situation causes them stress and concern.

Q. Can young children and teenagers call? A. Many parents give this number to older children. Consultants usually encourage children to talk to their parents, or maybe an aunt or grandparent, etc. When they get calls from children, they may ask who gave them the number and if they can talk to a parent to get permission to speak with the child. If a child needs to see a counselor in person, the consultant will require parental permission to refer a child to an EAP provider. We also require that the parent attend at least the first

Work Life Balance Employee Assistance Program (EAP) session with the child. An exception to this is if a minor is emancipated. By law, minors cannot be referred to resources without their parents’ permission. An exception would be if the consultant felt a child were in danger - then the consultant may call local law enforcement officials on the child’s behalf. * In California and Nevada, employees and their family members may confer with a local consultant up to three times in a six-month time period. ** The consultants must abide by federal regulations regarding duty to warn of harm to self or others. In these instances, the consultant may be mandated to report a situation to the appropriate authority. The work-life balance employee assistance program is provided by Ceridian and is available with selected Unum insurance offerings. Exclusions, limitations and prior notice requirements may apply, and service features, terms and eligibility criteria are subject to change.

About this Benefit A Health Savings Account is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to employees who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan.

The interest earned in an HSA is tax free.

Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.

How the HSA Plan Works A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individually-owned, tax-advantaged account that you can use to pay for current or future IRS-qualified medical expenses. With an HSA, you’ll have the potential to build more savings for healthcare expenses or additional retirement savings through self-directed investment options1.

How an HSA works: 

 

You can contribute to your HSA via payroll deduction, online banking transfer, or by sending a personal check to HSA Bank. Your employer or third parties, such as a spouse or parent, may contribute to your account as well. You can pay for qualified medical expenses with your HSA Bank Debit Card directly to your medical provider or pay out-of-pocket. You can either choose to reimburse yourself or keep the funds in your HSA to grow your savings. Unused funds will roll over year to year. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty (subject to ordinary income taxes). Check balances and account information via HSA Bank’s Internet Banking 24/7.

Are you eligible for an HSA? If you have a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) either through your employer, through your spouse, or one you’ve purchased on your own - chances are you can open an HSA. Additionally:  You cannot be covered by any other non-HSA-compatible health plan, including Medicare Parts A and B.  You cannot be covered by TriCare.  You cannot have accessed your VA medical benefits in the past 90 days (to contribute to an HSA).  You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return (unless it’s your spouse).  You must be covered by the qualified HDHP on the first day of the month. When you open an account, HSA Bank will request certain information to verify your identity and to process your application.

What are the annual IRS contribution limits? Contributions made by all parties to an HSA cannot exceed the annual HSA limit set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Anyone can contribute to your HSA, but only the accountholder and employer can receive tax deductions on those contributions. Combined annual contributions for the accountholder, employer, and third parties (i.e., parent, spouse, or anyone else) must not exceed these limits2. 48

2017 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual = $3,400 Family = $6,750

Catch-up Contributions Accountholders who meet these qualifications are eligible to make an HSA catch-up contribution of $1,000: Health Savings accountholder; age 55 or older (regardless of when in the year an accountholder turns 55); not enrolled in Medicare (if an accountholder enrolls in Medicare mid-year, catch-up contributions should be prorated). Authorized signers who are 55 or older must have their own HSA in order to make the catch-up contribution. According to IRS guidelines, each year you have until the tax filing deadline to contribute to your HSA (typically April 15 of the following year). Online contributions must be submitted by 2:00 p.m., Central Time, the business day before the tax filing deadline. Wire contributions must be received by noon, Central Time, on the tax filing deadline, and contribution forms with checks must be received by the tax filing deadline.

How can you benefit from tax savings? An HSA provides triple tax savings3. Here’s how:  Contributions to your HSA can be made with pre-tax dollars and any after-tax contributions that you make to your HSA are tax deductible.  HSA funds earn interest and investment earnings are tax free.  When used for IRS-qualified medical expenses, distributions are free from tax.

IRS-Qualified Medical Expenses You can use your HSA to pay for a wide range of IRS-qualified medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, or tax dependents. An IRS-qualified medical expense is defined as an expense that pays for healthcare services, equipment, or medications. Funds used to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses are always tax-free. HSA funds can be used to reimburse yourself for past medical expenses if the expense was incurred after your HSA was established. While you do not need to submit any receipts to HSA Bank, you must save your bills and receipts for tax purposes.

1 Investment accounts are not FDIC insured, may lose value and are not a deposit or other obligation of, or guarantee by the bank. Investment losses which are replaced are subject to the annual contribution limits of the HSA. 2 HSA funds contributed in excess of these limits are subject to penalty and tax unless the excess and earnings are withdrawn prior to the due date, including any extensions for filing Federal Tax returns. Accountholders should consult with a qualified tax advisor in connection with excess contribution removal. The Internal Revenue Service requires HSA Bank to report withdrawals that are considered refunds of excess contributions.

Instead, an excess contribution refund must be requested from HSA Bank and an Excess Contribution Removal Form completed. 3 Federal Tax savings are available no matter where you live and HSAs are taxable in AL, CA, and NJ.

FSA Frequently Asked Questions What is a Flexible Spending Account? A Flexible Spending Account allows you to save money by paying out-of-pocket health and/or dependent care related expenses with pre-tax dollars. Your contributions are deducted from your pay before taxes are withheld and your account is up fronted with an annual amount. Because you are taxed on a lower amount of pay, you pay less in taxes and you have more to spend.

How does a Flexible Spending Account Benefit Me? A Cafeteria plan enables you to save money on group insurance, health-related expenses, and dependent-care expenses. You may save as much as 35 percent on the cost of each benefit option! Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year and contributions are use-it-or- lose-it. Remember to retain all your receipts.

What Happens If I Don’t Use All of My Funds by The End of the Plan Year (August 31st)? Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year +75 day grace period. Contributions are use-it-or- lose-it. Remember to retain all your receipts (including receipts for card swipes).

How Do I File A Claim? In most situations, you will be able to swipe your card however, in the event you lose your card or are waiting to receive one, you can visit www.mybenefitshub.com/cfbisd and complete the “Claim Form” to send to NBS or use the web or phone app to file online.

How To Receive Your Dependent Care Reimbursement Faster. A Direct Deposit form is available on the Benefits Website which will help you get reimbursed quicker!


How the FSA Plan Works You designate an annual election of pre-tax dollars to be deposited into your health and dependent-care spending accounts. Your total election is divided by the number of pay periods in the Plan year and deducted equally from each paycheck before taxes are calculated. By the end of the Plan year, your total election will be fully deposited. However, you may make a claim for eligible health FSA expenses as soon as they are incurred during the Plan year. Eligible claims will be paid up to your total annual election even if you have not yet contributed that amount to your account.

Get Your Money 1. 2. 3. 4.

Complete and sign a claim form (available on our website) or an online claim. Attach documentation; such as an itemized bill or an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement from a health insurance provider. Fax or mail signed form and documentation to NBS. Receive your non-taxable reimbursement after your claim is processed either by check or direct deposit.

NBS Flexcard—FSA Pre-paid Benefit Card Your employer may sponsor the use of the NBS Flexcard, making access to your flex dollars easier than ever.
