Annual Benefit Enrollment

SUMMARY PAGES

Benefit Updates - What’s New: 

Benefit elections will become effective 9/1/2017  (elections requiring evidence of insurability, such as life insurance, may have a later effective date, if approved). After open enrollment closes, benefit changes can only be made if you experience a qualifying event (and changes must be made within 31 days of event).



For information regarding TRS-ActiveCare medical plans, visit www.trsactivecareaetna.com or call (800) 222-9205. For information regarding Scott & White HMO plans, visit www.trs.swhp.org or call (800) 321-7947.





Eligible employees with each school district receive Basic Life and AD&D as an employer paid benefit.

Voluntary Term Life is available for you, spouses, and dependent children. If you are a new hire you can enroll on a Guarantee Issue basis (no health questions asked) for the new plan year. Employees who enrolled when they were first eligible and are currently under the GI amount can annually increase their coverage up to the GI with no health questions asked.



Tax-sheltered Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow an individual to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for future health care and dependent care expenses.  Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year and contributions are use it or lose it. The medical reimbursement maximum is $2,600 annually or $216.66 per month. The dependent care reimbursement maximum is $5,000 if married or $2,500 if single per plan year. Check with your benefits office to see if your district offers a rollover or grace period. KEEP your FSA debit card!    

If you currently participate in a Healthcare or Dependent Care FSA, you MUST re-elect a new contribution amount every year to continue to participate. IT DOES NOT ROLLOVER! Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year (9/01/17 to 8/31/18) and contributions are “use it or lose it” unless your district has a rollover or grace period. You can view account balance using the CHECK FSA link on the Benefit website.

You have the option to choose from three dental plans through Cigna: PPO High plan, MAC plan, or the DHMO plan. The High plan offers you the flexibility to select your own provider and includes orthodontia for children. The MAC plan will provide more benefits on Basic/Major care than the High plan but only if you use an In-Network provider. This year we will be moving to the Total Cigna DPPO network with even more providers! The DHMO is moving to CIGNA and does not have any out of network benefits so you must select a provider upon enrollment. However, all services are paid per the plan schedule so there are no surprise costs and there are no maximums on the DHMO plan.

With all the changes, you will receive new ID cards this year so keep a lookout!

NEW! Lower Rates! VOYA will be the new Accident Carrier. Accident Insurance pays you benefits for specific injuries and events resulting from a covered accident that occurs while you are not at work. The benefit amount depends on the type of injury and care received. You have the option to elect Accident Insurance to meet your needs with a continual guarantee issue!

Login and complete your supplemental benefit enrollment from 07/31/2017 - 08/22/2017 Enrollment assistance is available by calling Financial Benefit Services at 866-914-5202 to speak to an enrollment representative Monday—Friday, 8 AM—5 PM from 07/31/2017—08/22/2017. Bilingual assistance is available!

Update your profile information: home address, phone numbers, email.

IMPORTANT!! Due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting requirements, please add your dependent’s social security numbers and date of birth in the HUB. If you have questions, please contact your Benefits Administrator.

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 benefit elections can occur only if you experience a qualifying event. You must present proof of a qualifying event to your Benefit office within 31 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.

CHANGES IN STATUS (CIS):

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 Government Programs

Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change.

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.

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

Employees of the following districts may enroll in both the HSA and FSA where FSA becomes a limited expense account*: Castleberry ISD Era ISD Evolution Academy Lindsay ISD Lipan ISD Treetops International *If your district offers this FSA, then you are only eligible to use funds towards dental, vision, and preventative care expenses.

Selected districts have elected to offer a 75-day grace period that you can use funds from the prior plan year up to 75 days after the plan ends. If you have additional questions about the differences between the limited and unlimited FSA plans, please call (800)274-0503.

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.

NBS YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

FSA (Flexible Spending Account)

PLAY VIDEO

About this Benefit A Cafeteria Plan is designed to take advantage of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. It allows you to pay certain qualified expenses on a pre-tax basis, thereby reducing your taxable income. You can set aside a pre-established amount of money per plan year in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Funds allocated to a healthcare FSA must be used during the plan year or are forfeited unless your plan contains a $500 rollover or grace period provision.

Unlimited FSA (Non HSA Compatible) The funds in the unlimited healthcare FSA can be used to pay for eligible medical expenses like deductibles, co-payments, orthodontics, glasses and contacts.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the 20 ESC Region 11 EBC Benefits Website: www.region11bc.com

FSA (Flexible Spending Account) 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 Can I Use My Flexible Spending Account On? For a list of sample expenses, please refer to the ESC Region 11 EBC benefit website: www.region11bc.com

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!

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 and contributions are use-it-or- lose-it. Remember to retain all your receipts.

HSA (Health Savings Account)

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

PLAY VIDEO

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 funds contributed to the account are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), funds roll over and accumulate year to year if not spent.

The interest earned in an HSA is tax free.

Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the 22 ESC Region 11 EBC Benefits Website: www.region11bc.com

HSA (Health Savings Account) HSA Bank has teamed up with your employer to create an affordable health coverage option that helps you save on healthcare expenses. This plan is only available for those who are participating in the ActiveCare 1-HD medical plan. You may not enroll in the MEDlink® plan if you participate in the HSA. Depending on your district, you may or may not be able to participate in the FSA plan if you participate in HSA. Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare participants are not eligible to participate in an HSA. You can use your Health Savings Account (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.

What is an HSA? An HSA, or health savings account, is a unique tax-advantaged account that you can use to pay for current or future IRS qualified medical expenses. With an HSA, you’ll have:  A tax-advantaged savings account that you can use to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses as well as deductibles, co-insurance, prescriptions, vision, and dental care.  Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There’s no “use it or lose it” penalty.  Potential to build more savings through investing. You can choose from a variety of HSA self-directed investment options with no minimum balance required.  Additional retirement savings. After you turn 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty.

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.

2017 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual: $3,350 Family: $6,750 Catch-Up Contributions: Account holders over the age of 55 who have not yet enrolled in Medicare are eligible to make an additional $1,000 “catch-up” contribution to their HSA.

What is a HDHP? A HDHP, or high-deductible health plan, is a major-medical health insurance plan that has a lower premium than traditional health plans. Your HDHP:  Is a major-medical health plan that is HSA-compatible. That means it can be used with a health savings account from HSA Bank.  Has a higher annual deductible with lower monthly premiums, which means you’ll have less taken out of your paycheck and more to add to you HSA.  Covers 100% of preventative care, including annual physicals, immunizations, well-women and well-child exams, and more–all without having to meet your deductible.  Providers coverage for health screenings, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, vision, and more.

HSA Bank Contact Information 605 N. 8th Street, Ste 320 Sheboygan, WI 53081 Phone: 800-357-6246 Mon.-Fri. 7am to 9pm, and Saturday 9am to 1pm www.hsabank.com

For a list of sample expenses, please refer to the ESC Region 11 EBC website at: www.region11bc.com

Using Funds Debit Card  You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept VISA credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front and wait for reimbursements.  You can make a withdrawal at any time. Reimbursements for qualified medical expenses are tax free. If you are disabled or reach age 65, you can receive non-medical distributions without penalty, but you must report the distributions as taxable income. You may also use your funds for a spouse or tax dependent not covered by your HDHP.

Definition of Disability

Covered Earnings

“Disability” or “Disabled” means that, solely because of a covered injury or sickness, you are unable to perform the material duties of your regular occupation and you are unable to earn 80% or more of your indexed earnings from working in your regular occupation. After benefits have been payable for 24 months, you are considered disabled if solely due to your injury or sickness, you are unable to perform the material duties of any occupation for which you are (or may reasonably become) qualified by education, training or experience, and you are unable to earn 80% or more of your indexed earnings. We will require proof of earnings and continued disability.

“Covered Earnings” means your wages or salary, not including bonuses, commissions, and other extra compensation.

When Coverage Takes Effect Your coverage takes effect on the later of the policy’s effective date, the date you become eligible, the date we receive your completed enrollment form, or the date you authorize any necessary payroll deductions. If you’re not actively at work on the date your coverage would otherwise take effect, your coverage will take effect on the date you return to work. If you have to submit evidence of good health, your coverage takes effect on the date we agree, in writing, to cover you.

Educator Disability Effects of Other Income Benefits

Termination of Disability Benefits

This plan is structured to prevent your total benefits and postdisability earnings from equaling or exceeding pre-disability earnings. Therefore, we reduce this plan’s benefits by Other Income Benefits payable to you, your dependents, or a qualified third party on behalf of you or your dependents. Disability benefits maybe reduced by amounts received through Social Security disability benefits payable to you, your dependents, or a qualified third party on behalf of you or your dependents. Your disability benefits will not be reduced by any Social Security disability benefits you are not receiving as long as you cooperate fully in efforts to obtain them and agree to repay any overpayment when and if you do receive them. Disability benefits will also be reduced by amounts received through other government programs, sick leave, employer’s sabbatical leave, employer’s assault leave plan, employer funded retirement benefits, workers’ compensation, franchise/group insurance, auto no-fault, and damages for wage loss. For details, see your outline of coverage, policy certificate, or your employer’s summary plan description. Note: Some of the Other Income Benefits, as defined in the group policy, will not be considered until after disability benefits are payable for 12 months.

Your benefits will terminate when your Disability ceases, when your benefit duration period is exceeded, or on the following events: (1) the date you earn from any occupation more than 80% of your Covered Earnings, or the date you fail to cooperate with us in a rehabilitation plan, or transitional work arrangement, or the administration of the claim.

Earnings While Disabled During the first 24 months that benefits are payable, benefits will be reduced if benefits plus income from employment exceeds 100% of pre-disability Covered Earnings. After that, benefits will be reduced by 50% of earnings from employment.

Limited Benefit Period Disabilities caused by or contributed to by any one or more of the following conditions are subject to a lifetime limit of 24 months for outpatient treatment: Anxiety-disorders, delusional (paranoid) or depressive disorders, eating disorders, mental illness, somatoform disorders (including psychosomatic illnesses) ,alcoholism, drug addiction or abuse. Benefits are payable during periods of hospital confinement for these conditions for hospitalizations lasting more than 14 consecutive days that occur before the 24-month lifetime outpatient limit is exhausted.

Pre-existing Condition Limitation Benefits are not payable for medical conditions for which you incurred expenses, took prescription drugs, received medical treatment, care or services (including diagnostic measures,) during the 3 months just prior to the most recent effective date of insurance. Benefits are not payable for any disability resulting from a pre-existing condition unless the disability occurs after you have been insured under this plan for at least 12 months after your most recent effective date of insurance.

40

Rehabilitation Requirement To be eligible for Disability benefits under this plan, you may be required to participate in a rehabilitation plan at the sole discretion and expense of the insurance company or company administering benefits under this plan. If you fail to fully cooperate with the rehabilitation plan, no Disability benefits will be paid, and coverage will end. For details, see your Certificate of Insurance.

Exclusions This plan does not pay benefits for a Disability which results, directly or indirectly, from any of the following:  Suicide, attempted suicide, or intentionally self-inflicted injury while sane or insane.  war or any act of war, whether or not declared.  active participation in a riot;  commission of a felony;  the revocation, restriction or non-renewal of an Employee’s license, permit or certification necessary to perform the duties of his or her occupation unless due solely to Injury or Sickness otherwise covered by the Policy.  any cosmetic surgery or surgical procedure that is not Medically Necessary.  an Injury or Sickness for which the Employee is entitled to benefits from Workers’ Compensation or occupational disease law.  an Injury or Sickness that is work related.

About this Benefit Individual life is a policy that provides a specified death benefit to your beneficiary at the time of death.

The advantage of having an individual life insurance plan as opposed to a group supplemental term life plan is that this plan is guaranteed renewable, portable and typically premiums remain the same over the life of the policy.

Experts recommend at least

x 10 your gross annual income in coverage when purchasing life insurance.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the 56 ESC Region 11 EBC Benefits Website: www.region11bc.com

Individual Life Life Insurance Highlights Voluntary permanent life insurance can be an ideal complement to the group term and optional term your employer might provide. Designed to be in force when you die, this voluntary universal life product is yours to keep, even when you change jobs or retire, as long as you pay the necessary premium. Group and voluntary term, on the other hand, typically are not portable if you change jobs and, even if you can keep them after you retire, usually costs more and declines in death benefit.

DID YOU KNOW? Those with no life insurance think it’s 3 times more expensive than it actually is.

The policy, PureLife-plus, is underwritten by Texas Life Insurance Company, and it has these outstanding features: 

High Death Benefit. With one of the highest death benefit available at the worksite,1 PureLife-plus gives your loved ones peace of mind, knowing there will be significant life insurance in force should you die prematurely.



Minimal Cash Value. Designed to provide high death benefit, PureLife-plus does not compete with the cash accumulation in your employer-sponsored retirement plans.



Long Guarantees. Enjoy the assurance of a policy that has a guaranteed death benefit to age 121 and level premium that guarantees coverage for a significant period of time (after the guaranteed period, premiums may go down, stay the same, or go up).



Refund of Premium. Unique in the marketplace, PureLifeplus offers you a refund of 10 years’ premium, should you surrender the policy if the premium you pay when you buy the policy ever increases. (Conditions apply.)



Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Should you be diagnosed as terminally ill with the expectation of death within 12 months (24 months in Illinois), you will have the option to receive 92% (84% in Illinois) of the death benefit, minus a $150 ($100 in Florida) administrative fee. This valuable living benefit gives you peace of mind knowing that, should you need it, you can take the large majority of your death benefit while still alive. (Conditions apply.)

You may apply for this permanent, portable coverage, not only for yourself, but also for your spouse, minor children and grandchildren.

Like most life insurance policies, Texas Life policies contain certain exclusions, limitations, exceptions, reductions of benefits, waiting periods and terms for keeping them in force. Please contact a Texas Life representative for costs and complete details.
