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.
Section 125 Cafeteria Plan Guidelines
7
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 31 days of benefit
eligibility 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/jacksonvilleisd. 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 the Jacksonville
ISD benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/jacksonvilleisd.
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.

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.
About this Benefit
HSA (Health Savings Account)
YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE
The interest earned in an HSA is tax free.
DID YOU KNOW?
Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.
HSA BANK
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
Jacksonville ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/jacksonvilleisd 14
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 Active Care 1-HD medical plan. If you choose to enroll in the FSA plan, you are not eligible to participate in the HSA plan. 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? A tax-advantaged savings account that you use to pay for
eligible medical expenses as well as deductible, co-insurance, prescriptions, vision and dental care. Allows you to save while reducing your taxable income.
Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There’s no “use it or lose it” penalty.
A way to accumulate additional retirement savings. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty.
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.
2016 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual: $3,350 Family: $6,750 Catch-Up Contributions: Accountholders who meet the qualifications noted below are eligible to make an HSA catch-up contribution of an additional $1,000.

Authorized Signers who are 55 or older must have their own HSA in order to make the catch-up contribution Monthly Fee: Your account will be charged a monthly fee of $1.75, waived with an average daily balance at or above $3,000.

HSA (Health Savings Account)
15
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.
2016 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual = $3,350 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.

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. In order for the withdrawal to be accurately reported, accountholders may not withdraw the excess directly. 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.

Permanent inability to perform at least two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) without substantial assistance, or
A permanent severe cognitive impairment, such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of senility requiring substantial supervision.
For example, in case of chronic illness, you would receive $3,586 each month up to $67,241.25.

Affordability—With several options to choose from, select the coverage that best meets the needs of your family. Terminal Illness—This plan pays the insured 30% (25% in Connecticut and Michigan) of the policy coverage amount in a lump sum upon the occurrence of a terminal condition that will result in a limited life span of less than 12 months. Portability—You and your family continue coverage with no loss of benefits or increase in cost should you terminate employment after the first premium is paid. If this happens, we can simply bill you directly. Coverage can never be cancelled by the insurance company or your employer unless you stop paying premiums. Family Protection—Individual policies can be purchased on the employee, their spouse, children and grandchildren. Children & Grandchildren Plan—Policies can be purchased for children and grandchildren ages 15 days to age 24. Convenience—Premiums are taken care of simply and easily through payroll deductions. Protection You Can Count On—Within 24 hours after receiving notice of an insured’s death, an emergency death benefit of the lesser of 50% of the coverage amount, or $10,000, will be mailed to the insured’s beneficiary, unless the death is within the two-year contestability period and/or under investigation. This product also contains no war or terrorism exclusions.

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.

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 as care 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/jacksonvilleisd
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 roll up to $500. 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/jacksonvilleisd and complete the “Claim Form” to send to NBS or use the web or phone app to file online.

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. You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front then wait for reimbursement.

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 after the Plan year ends for you to submit qualified claims for any unused funds.
