Employee Express Changes (I) Go to Employee Express to elect, drop, or change: Flexible Spending MUST be re-elected each year. HFSA-Medical Flexible Spending Account NFSA-Dependent Day Care Flexible Spending Account If you have Dental, you will not need to re-elect the coverage this year. --DENTAL--VISION --SHORT/LONG TERM DISABILITY--LIFE INSURANCE --FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS--LIFE LOCK

Employee Express Changes (II) Before making elections in Employee Express, be sure to add your dependents. Social Security Numbers, Dates of Birth, and phone numbers are required for any dependents. If electing Dental and Vision, be sure you specify which dependents should be covered. LifeLock can NOT protect your dependents without SSN, DOB, and phone number.

True OE for Short Term Disability (STD) plans I STD replaces your salary if you become ill or injured and have exhausted your sick leave. Without sick days or STD, you may have little or no income to live on. We offer two options depending on your needs A 15 day waiting period that replaces 50% of salary at a cost of $1.36 per $1,000 of monthly salary A 45 day waiting period that replaces 60% of salary at a cost of $0.96 per $1,000 of monthly salary

True OE for Short Term Disability (STD) plans II No health questionnaire required to elect STD this year—if you elect it, you will have the coverage. Pre-existing clause still applies so, for example, someone already pregnant won’t have the pregnancy as a covered disability. Encourage anyone who does not have STD to consider it, unless they do not need their salary to live, or have 6 months of sick leave.

True OE for Group Term Life plans No health questionnaire required to elect life insurance this year for yourself, spouse, or child(ren). You must have coverage on yourself equal to or greater than what you elect on your spouse or child(ren). Electing even $10,000 this year preserves your right to increase coverage later with no HQ.

Going out to the Federal Exchange SHBP plans are “adequate” and “affordable” as defined by ACA Any person may purchase coverage on the exchange for any reason Access to adequate and affordable plan through employer prohibits receiving federal subsidy Any FCS employee purchasing exchange coverage will have to pay the whole cost of the coverage Exchange coverage premiums can NOT be payroll deducted and are after tax

Strategy For Making an Election (I) As always, look at how you use health care. Minimal users might prefer the lower cost plans. People with frequent office visits might prefer an HMO plan. Remember that premiums are always deducted, while you may not always need services. Consider the level of benefits + premium + HFSA amount.

Strategy For Making an Election (II) The choice is going to come down to personal preference about costs, convenience, and freedom. Pay less premium per month, but more for services when they are rendered Kaiser is self-contained—only one place to go for everything Having freedom to choose an out-of-network doctor means electing an HRA or HDHP plan

Health Flexible Spending Account (HFSA) I Set aside amounts to pay co-pays, meet deductibles, and pay for Rx HFSA can also be used for dental and vision services Can be used for dependents’ charges even if spouse/children are not on an FCS plan. IMPORTANT! HFSA is used for ALL family member’s expenses. NFSA is used only to pay for day care while you work, not for medical expenses for dependents.

Health Flexible Spending Account (HFSA) II Choose from $300 to $2,600 for the year Set aside only what you know you will spend, because unused money over $500 is forfeited. Up to $500 remaining at the end of the year can be rolled over to E-claims tracker makes reimbursement almost painless.

Health Savings Account (HSA) HSA is very different from HFSA HSA only available if you have a HDHP FCS does not offer an HSA—need to set up privately at a bank or broker If you have an HSA, you can NOT use the HFSA
