Annual EnrollmentDuring 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 EnrollmentAll new hire enrollment elections must be completed in the

online enrollment system within the first 31 days of benefit

eligibility employment. Failure to complete elections during this

timeframe will result in the forfeiture of coverage.

Q&AWho 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 school

district’s benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/

birdvilleisd. Click on 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 your school

district’s benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/

birdvilleisd. 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.

SUMMARY PAGES

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.

Gain/Loss of Dependents' Eligibility Status

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.

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.

Important Definitions and Features Definition of Disability “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 “Covered Earnings” means your wages or salary, not including bonuses, commissions, and other extra compensation.

When Benefits Begin You must be continuously Disabled for your elected benefit waiting period before benefits will be payable for a covered Disability.

Long Term Disability

Termination of Disability Benefits 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.

Effects of Other Income Benefits This plan is structured to prevent your total benefits and post-disability 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 6 months.

Plan Termination Coverage terminates if the group policy is terminated, if you cease to be in active service, if you are no longer a member of an eligible class of employees, the day after the last date for which premium has been paid by you or the employer, or the date you become eligible for a plan of benefits intended to replace this coverage.

If you are disabled and receiving benefits under this plan, your benefits and coverage will continue until the expiration of your benefit period, or until you no longer qualify for benefits under the plan, whichever comes first.

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.

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.

Identity Theft

Identity theft can strike anyone, at any time. More than 11 million Americans were victimized by identity theft in 2011, including more than 500,000 children.

Identity theft devastates its victims financially. The average victim will lose $4,841, and spend an additional $1,400 in out-of-pocket expenses resolving their case.

Repairing the damage caused by identity theft is frustrating and time consuming. The average victim spends 330 hours repairing the damage from identity theft—the equivalent of working a full-time job for more than 2 months.

The impact of identity theft follows victims for years. 50% of identity theft victims experience trouble getting loans or credit cards as a result of identity theft. 12% of identity theft victims end up having warrants issued by law enforcement in their name for crimes committed by the identity thief.

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.

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.

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.

Health Care Expense Account Example Expenses:

Dependent Care Expense Account Example Expenses: Before and After School and/or Extended Day Programs

The actual care of the dependent in your home.

Preschool tuition.

The base costs for day camps or similar programs used ascare for a qualifying individual.

What Can I Use My Flexible Spending Account On? For a full list of eligible expenses, please refer to www.mybenefitshub.com/birdvilleisd

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 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. Complete and sign a claim form (available on our website) or an online claim. 2. Attach documentation; such as an itemized bill or an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement from a health insurance provider.3. Fax or mail signed form and documentation to NBS. 4. 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.

Enrollment Considerations After the enrollment period ends, you may increase, decrease, or stop your contribution only when you experience a qualifying “change of status” (marriage status, employment change, dependent change). Be conservative in the total amount you elect to avoid forfeiting money that may be left in your account at the end of the year. Your employer may allow a short grace period or rollover after the Plan year ends for you to submit qualified claims for any unused funds.
