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.

Q&A

Who do I contact with Questions?

For supplemental benefit questions, you can contact your Benefits/HR department or you can call Financial Benefit Services at 866-914-5202 for assistance.

Where can I find forms?

For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/iltexas. 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 International Leadership of Texas benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/iltexas. 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 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 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 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.

CHANGES IN STATUS (CIS): QUALIFYING EVENTS

Marital Status

Change in Number of Tax Dependents

Change in Status of Employment Affecting Coverage Eligibility

Gain/Loss of Dependents’ Eligibility Status

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. Judgment/ Decree/Order

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.

Eligibility for Government Programs

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

Annual Benefit Enrollment

Employee Eligibility Requirements

Supplemental Benefits: Eligible employees must work 20 or more regularly scheduled hours each work week. Eligible employees must be actively at work on the plan effective date for new benefits to be effective, meaning you are physically capable of performing the functions of your job on the first day of work concurrent with the plan effective date. For example, if your 2023 benefits become effective on September 1, 2023, you must be actively-at-work on September 1, 2023 to be eligible for your new benefits.

Dependent Eligibility Requirements

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.

FMLA and other leave standards and procedures have been updated in accordance with the district’s policies. Please make sure you review these new procedures and contact your Benefits Department with any additional questions.

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 Financial Benefit Services, 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 Financial Benefit Services, 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 Financial Benefit Services, LLC 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 HR/Benefit Administrator to request a continuation of coverage.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

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.mybenefitshub.com/iltexas

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 High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)

• Not enrolled in Medicare or TRICARE

• If you enroll in an HSA and FSA, the FSA becomes a Limited Purpose FSA and may only be used for Dental and Vision, not medical expenses.

• Not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return

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 by the HDHP.

Maximum Contributions

Your HSA contributions may not exceed the annual maximum amount established by the Internal Revenue Service. The annual contribution maximum for 2023 is based on the coverage option you elect:

• Individual – $3,850

• Family (filing jointly) – $7,750

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.

• Lost/Stolen Debit Card: Call the 24/7 debit card hotline at (800) 333-9934.

Hospital Indemnity The Hartford

ABOUT HOSPITAL INDEMNITY

This is an affordable supplemental plan that pays you should you be inpatient hospital confined. This plan complements your health insurance by helping you pay for costs left unpaid by your health insurance.

For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/iltexas

BENEFIT HIGHLIGHTS

Hospital indemnity (HI) insurance pays a cash benefit if you or an insured dependent (spouse or child) are confined in a hospital for a covered illness or injury. Even with the best primary health insurance plan, out-of-pocket costs from a hospital stay can add up.

The benefits are paid in lump sum amounts to you, and can help offset expenses that primary health insurance doesn’t cover (like deductibles, co-insurance amounts or co- pays), or benefits can be used for any non-medical expenses (like housing costs, groceries, car expenses, etc.). To learn more about Hospital Indemnity insurance, visit thehartford.com/employeebenefits

COVERAGE INFORMATION

You have a choice of two hospital indemnity plans, which allows you the flexibility to enroll for the coverage that best meets your needs. Benefit amounts are based on the plan in effect for you or an insured dependent at the time the covered event occurs. Unless otherwise noted, the benefit amounts payable under each plan are the same for you and your dependent(s).

ASKED & ANSWERED IS THIS COVERAGE HSA COMPATIBLE?

If you (or any dependent(s)) currently participate in a Health Saving Account (HSA) or if you plan to do so in the future, you should be aware that the IRS limits the types of supplemental insurance you may have in addition to a HSA, while still maintaining the tax-exempt status of the HSA. This plan design was designed to be compatible with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). However, if you have or plan to open an HSA, please consult your tax and legal advisors to determine which supplemental benefits may be purchased by employees with an HSA.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND HOW DO I PAY FOR THIS INSURANCE?

Premiums are provided above. You have a choice of plan options. You may elect insurance for you only, or for you and your dependent(s), by choosing the applicable coverage tier.

WHEN CAN I ENROLL?

WHEN DOES THIS INSURANCE BEGIN?

You must be actively at work with your employer on the day your coverage takes effect. Your spouse and child(ren) must be performing normal activities and not be confined (at home or in a hospital/care facility).

Disability Insurance The Hartford EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

ABOUT DISABILITY

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.

For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/iltexas

Educator Disability insurance is a hybrid that combines features of short-term and long-term disability into one plan. Disability insurance provides partial income protection if you are unable to work due to a covered accident or illness. The plan gives you flexibility to be able to choose an amount of coverage and waiting period that suits your needs.

Actively at Work: You must be at work with your Employer on your regularly scheduled workday. On that day, you must be performing for wage or profit all of your regular duties in the usual way and for your usual number of hours. If school is not in session due to normal vacation or school break(s), Actively at Work shall mean you are able to report for work with your Employer, performing all of the regular duties of Your Occupation in the usual way for your usual number of hours as if school was in session.

Benefit Amount: You may purchase coverage that will pay you a monthly flat dollar benefit in $100 increments between $200 and $7,500 that cannot exceed 66 2/3% of your current monthly earnings. Earnings are defined in The Hartford’s contract with your employer.

Elimination Period: You must be disabled for at least the number of days indicated by the elimination period that you select before you can receive a Disability benefit payment. The elimination period that you select consists of two numbers. The first number shows the number of days you must be disabled by an accident before your benefits can begin. The second number indicates the number of days you must be disabled by a sickness before your benefits can begin.

Disability Insurance

The Hartford

Traditional LTD - Definition

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.

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 pre-existing condition limitations.

How do I choose which plan to enroll in during my open enrollment?

You will enroll in Long Term and Short Term Disability on two separate pages during your open enrollment walkthrough. Generally your short term coverage and long term coverage work together so that once your short term coverage ends, at that time your long term coverage would begin if you are still disabled and approved to remain on your claim. In other words, your short term coverage may continue for up to 12 weeks and your long term coverage begins the 13th week.

Your short term coverage will generally be a weekly benefit. This is the maximum amount of money you will receive from the carrier on a weekly basis once your disability claim is approved by the carrier. This is generally a flat percentage of your salary.

Your long term coverage will generally be a monthly benefit. This is the maximum amount of money you will receive from the carrier on a monthly basis once your disability claim is approved by the carrier. This is generally a flat percentage of your salary.

ABOUT CANCER

Cancer insurance offers you and your family supplemental insurance protection in the event you or a covered family member is diagnosed with cancer. It pays a benefit directly to you to help with expenses associated with cancer treatment.

For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/iltexas

Treatment for cancer is often lengthy and expensive. While your health insurance helps pay the medical expenses for cancer treatment, it does not cover the cost of non-medical expenses, such as out-of-town treatments, special diets, daily living and household upkeep. In addition to these non-medical expenses, you are responsible for paying your health plan deductibles and/or coinsurance. Cancer insurance through American Public Life helps pay for these direct and indirect treatment costs so you can focus on your health.

Should you need to file a claim contact APL at 800-256-8606 or online at secured.ampublic.com. You can find additional claim forms and materials at www.mybenefitshub.com/iltexas

Critical Illness Insurance The

ABOUT CRITICAL ILLNESS

Critical illness insurance can be used towards medical or other expenses. It provides a lump sum benefit payable directly to the insured upon diagnosis of a covered condition or event, like a heart attack or stroke. The money can also be used for non-medical costs related to the illness, including transportation, child care, etc.

For full plan details, please visit your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/iltexas

What is critical illness insurance?

Benefit Highlights

Critical illness insurance is coverage offered by your employer which you pay for through convenient deductions from your paycheck. It can assist you financially if you or a covered dependent are ever diagnosed with a covered critical illness (shown below).

The benefits are paid in lump sum amounts and can serve as a source of cash to use as you wish, whether to help pay for health care expenses not covered by your major medical insurance, help replace income lost while not working, or however you choose. This highlight sheet is an overview of your critical illness insurance. A certificate of insurance will be available after you enroll to explain your coverage in detail.

Who is eligible? You are eligible if you are an active employee who works at least 20 hours per week on a regularly scheduled basis, and are less than age 80. Your spouse (includes domestic partner) must also be less than age 80 to be eligible for coverage, and your dependent child(ren) must be under age 26 to be eligible.

When can I enroll? You can enroll during your scheduled enrollment period, within 31 days of the date you have a change in family status, or within 31 days of the completion of your eligibility waiting period established by your employer.

How much coverage can I purchase?

You may enroll for $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000, or $30,000 in coverage. You may also enroll your dependent(s) for the following amounts of coverage: Spouse: the greater of $5,000 or 100% of your elected coverage amount

Child(ren): $5,000

A benefit reduction of 50% will apply to the coverage amount for you and your dependent(s) when you reach the age of 70.

Am I guaranteed coverage?

I already have medical and disability insurance.

Why do I need this too?

During designated enrollment periods, this coverage is offered without having to provide information about your health for coverage amounts up to $30,000. This is called “guaranteed issue (GI)” coverage – all you have to do is check the box to enroll and become insured. All amounts of dependent coverage are guaranteed issue.

Costs associated with critical illness can pile up even with other types of insurance. Once treatment for an illness begins, deductibles and cost sharing (co-pays and/or coinsurance), and limitations on benefits found in some medical insurance plans may quickly lead to high out-of-pocket costs. In addition, disability insurance will only replace a portion of your income, not all of it. Critical illness insurance benefits can help cover what other insurance products don’t.
