Hello Yongsan! Quick reminder to all that Courageous Channel 2017 kicks off Oct. 23. It is critical everyone in the Area II community participates in this important NEO exercise (page 5). Please see your NEO warden to update your NEO packets. Bring your packet and protective mask with you when you go through the NEO site (Collier Fitness Center). Williams Ave. and part of the parking lot in front of Seoul American Elementary School is closed to facilitate the exercise, so please drive carefully. There were many traffic violations issued in the month of September (page 6). Be aware of ongoing road work, and be sure to stop at crosswalks or you will be ticketed. Repair work of water lines is also taking place throughout the installation. Please note the scheduled water outages starting Oct. 26 until Nov. 3 (page 7). From Nov. 14 until Nov. 22, USAG Yongsan will conduct Fall Cleanup (pages 8-14). Please ensure you do your part to keep Yongsan clean, healthy and safe for all. All Soldiers, U.S. Civilians, KATUSAs and Korean Nationals are required to attend annual SHARP training. Please see the attached schedule to plan your next attendance (page 15).

If you have children and are among those moving to USAG Humphreys, please keep in mind that it takes at least two weeks to process and prepare student records (page 21). These past few months have seen an increase in natural disasters that have hit close to home. The Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas kicked off Oct. 16 and goes through Dec. 15. Don’t forget to “show some love” for disaster relief and fill out your pledge card to give to a charity of your choice or help the victims and areas devastated by recent events (page 22).

They are also great opportunities to address concerns community members may have. The holidays are almost upon us, and we look forward to sharing more news with you in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned to our USAG Yongsan Facebook or Twitter page for the latest updates. In the meantime, stay safe, warm, and keep – Yongsan Ready, Yongsan Strong.

Federal BenefitsFastFacts

What to Consider During the Federal Benefits Open Season (November 13 – December 11, 2017)

Open Season is the time of year when you have the opportunity to make decisions about your benefitsunder the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS), the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP), and the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program.

If you already have an FSAFEDS account, it will not continue automatically: you must re-enroll for 2018.

If you take no action, your current enrollment in FEDVIP and/or FEHB will continue automatically for 2018. You will be subject to any changes in premiums, benefits, and service areas.

We strongly recommend you evaluate your current enrollment status in the Programs. We have listed three basic questions to ask yourself. All are equally important and should be considered carefully.

1. What are my and/or my family’s expected health care needs for 2018?

• Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS)

What are my out-of-pocket expenses going to be (e.g., deductibles, copays, coinsurances, day care and elder care expenses, over-the-counter drugs and medicines [prescription required except for insulin] and other over-the-counter products)? Does my child need braces or use acne treatments? Will I send my children (under age 13) to a non-overnight summer camp next year?

• Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)

Do I only need routine dental care? Will I need a crown or a root canal? Does my child needbraces?

Do I need glasses and/or contact lenses? Am I considering Lasik surgery?

• Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program

Am I expecting a new baby? Do I need surgery? Will my medication needs change?

2. What benefits are available in 2018?

Now that you have an idea of what services you may need, the next step is to determine what benefits the plans provide in 2018. If you are already enrolled, please review the “How We Have Changed for 2018” section of your 2018 FEDVIP brochure and Section 2 “Changes for 2018” of your 2018FEHB plan brochure for any benefit changes.

Do not rely solely on this fact sheet. Always refer to the individual plan brochures before making your final decision.

17

FSAFEDS

• Should I enroll in a health care account and/or a dependent care account? How much should I contribute to my FSAFEDS account(s)?

FEDVIP and FEHB

• Are there plan limitations (i.e., number of visits or dollar maximums) which will result in out-of-pocket expenses?

• Are any services I may need (such as chiropractic care or Lasik surgery) not covered?• What is my share of the cost of prescription drugs? (FEHB only)• What deductibles, copays, and coinsurances must I pay?• Do I have enough coverage for extensive dental work?• Do I have enough coverage for glasses, exams, contact lenses, or other vision services?

3. How much will it cost?

Now that you have an idea of what services you may need and what types of benefits are provided by FSAFEDS, FEDVIP, and/or FEHB plans, the third consideration is cost.

Enrolling in FSAFEDS is free to you. You just have to decide how much (from a minimum of $100 to a maximum of $2,600 per participant for a health care account and/or $5,000 per household for a dependent care account) to contribute from your salary, which you’ll get back when you incur eligible expenses.

Look at the 2018 premiums for the FEDVIP and/or FEHB plan you are already enrolled in orconsidering enrolling in. You can find the premiums in the 2017 FEDVIP and FEHB brochures and on our website at www.opm.gov/insure.

4. What do I do now?

Now that you have considered these questions, you are on your way to making more informed decisions about your benefit choices for 2018. If you want to participate in FSAFEDS for 2018, you must make a new election. If you are satisfied with your FEDVIP plan and/or FEHB plan, you do not have to do anything. Your FEDVIP and/or FEHB enrollment(s) will continue for 2018. If you are not satisfied with your current enrollment status, please visit our website and your human resources office and look at the following resources to assist you in making decisions.

• FSAFEDS brochures at www.FSAFEDS.com• FEDVIP brochures at www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/dental-vision/plan-information• FEHB brochures at www.opm.gov/FEHBbrochures• OPM’s plan comparison tool at www.opm.gov/fehbcompare• Another plan comparison tool - Checkbook at www.checkbook.org/newhig2/hig.cfm

Do not rely solely on this fact sheet. Always refer to the individual plan brochures before making your final decision.

Federal Employees Health Bene�ts (FEHB) Program Unexpected accidents and illnesses can be expensive. Even routine doctor visits and prescriptions can add up. With FEHB, you have 15 or more health plan choices. Each plan provides comprehensive coverage for you, your spouse, and your children under age 26. It’s competitive; your agency contributes to the premium. �ere are no waiting periods and no restrictions on pre-existing conditions. Cheers to health!

Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)If you want more dental coverage than what your health plan o�ers, FEDVIP’s comprehensive dental insurance can cover you, your spouse, and your unmarried dependent children under age 22 for cleanings, x-rays, cavities, orthodontics, and more. With 10 dental plans to choose from, it’s easy to keep your family smiling.

Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)If you want more vision coverage than what your health plan o�ers, FEDVIP’s comprehensive vision insurance can cover you, your spouse, and your unmarried dependent children under age 22 for eye exams, glasses, contact lenses, and discounts on laser eye surgery. With 4 vision plans to choose from and premiums starting around $3 biweekly, you're looking well.

Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program (FEGLI)With FEGLI, your family is protected from burdensome funeral costs and catastrophic income loss if you die unexpectedly. You can get coverage from as little as one year’s salary to more than six years’ salary and many options in between. You can also get coverage for your spouse and eligible children. Now that’s peace of mind you can live with.

Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP)If you cannot perform everyday tasks such as eating, dressing, and bathing because of a chronic illness, injury, disability, or aging, long term care insurance can help you pay for the assistance you need. With FLTCIP, you and your eligible family members can be protected from this �nancial burden that can cost an average of $32,000 to $91,000 a year.

Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS)More than 420,000 Feds use pre-tax dollars to save on their health and dependent care expenses. It’s like a 30% discount for what your family spends on prescriptions, doctor visits, glasses, orthodontics, and other health expenses. It’s also like a 30% discount on daycare expenses for your children under age 13 and on daycare for your adult dependents. When you’re in FSAFEDS, you’re in the money.
