1 KCTCS OPEN ENROLLMENT OCTOBER 12 – 26, 2015

2 The Kentucky Employee Health Plan (KEHP) meets all requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The PLAN provides affordable health care insurance that is offered to all employees. Employees may shop kynect (the state marketplace) for coverage. Purchasing coverage through kynect will disqualify the employee and dependents from receiving potential tax credits. HEALTH CARE REFORM The Affordable Care Act

3 The state non-tobacco user contribution rate is reduced by 25% to the employee. KCTCS personnel system employees pay reduced out-of-pocket monthly contributions. KCTCS picks up that additional 25% for the employee. The $50 Benefit Allowance is available to eligible employees to offset benefit expenses. KCTCS PERSONNEL SYSTEM The Contribution Strategy

PAPER APPLICATIONS Who needs to fill one out?

23 Per federal law, employees must be enrolled in a group health plan that provides minimum value. Employees in another group health plan providing minimum value may choose to enroll in the Waiver General Purpose HRA, and Must attest in writing that they have other group health plan coverage that provides minimum value. Note: If you or your spouse or dependent is contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA), consult a tax advisor prior to enrolling in a HRA or FSA. WAIVING HEALTH INSURANCE

24 Employees having coverage purchased through kynect or other governmental plans such as TRICARE, Medicare or Medicaid are not eligible for the Waiver General Purpose HRA. These employees may enroll in the Waiver Dental/Vision Only HRA or elect to enroll in a KEHP health plan. Members enrolling in the Waiver Dental/Vision Only HRA do not need to attest to enrollment in another plan. Note: If you or your spouse or dependent is contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA), consult a tax advisor prior to enrolling in a HRA or FSA. WAIVING HEALTH INSURANCE (continued)

25 In addition to the HRA, an employee may fund a healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to cover unpaid qualified medical expenses such as deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance, dental, vision, etc. If you have both a FSA and a General Purpose Waiver HRA, reimbursement will be made from the FSA account balance first. The FSA balance is forfeited after the end of the plan year (12/31/16) and the 2-1/2 month grace period (3/15/17). The Waiver HRA will not roll-over if you elect to enroll in a health plan in 2017. FSA VS. HRA

26 Health Care Account (HCA) for medical expenses Minimum $5/paycheck (including $50 Benefit Allowance); maximum annual contribution increased to $2,550 for 2016. Per federal regulations, only $500 of employer contributions may be used to fund a FSA. Dependent Care Account (DCA) for dependent day care expenses Minimum $5/paycheck Maximum contribution based upon federal tax filing status, up to $4,992 FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS Two types of FSAs are available

27 Employees wishing to enroll in a FSA must do so every year – an IRS regulation. Enrollment must be made in PeopleSoft Self-Service FSA enrollees may use the Benny card for health expenses, or file a paper claim for health or dependent care expenses Claims for reimbursement can be made for any dependents up to age 26. Save your receipts! Substantiation for a Benny card charge may be required. FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (continued)

28 Termination date for a FSA (and HRA) is the date employment ends or the date of retirement. Following termination of the FSA, you have 90 days to file paper claims for reimbursement of expenses incurred through the last date of service. Note: If you or your spouse or dependent is contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA), consult a tax advisor prior to enrolling in a HRA or FSA. FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (continued)

29 NO FSA carryover of $500 as stated in the DEI Benefits Selection Guide. KCTCS elects to use a “grace period” method instead of a “rollover” method to utilize prior year’s money Any amount of leftover money from 2015 may be used and claimed until 3/15/2016. You may use your FSA Benny card for grace period expenses. Reimbursements will automatically be applied to the correct year. FSA GRACE PERIOD

You cannot use 2016 money to pay for 2015 expenses Your Benny card does not know the difference between 2015 and 2016 money. HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNTS (continued)

35 A pharmacy tip for General Purpose waiver HRA users: If you waived because your spouse has health coverage elsewhere, use your spouse health plan card first to pay for prescriptions. Then use your HRA Benny card to pay any remaining co-pay or co- insurance amounts. This saves your HRA money for future use or rollover, instead of paying the bulk of that Rx cost with your HRA money. HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNTS (continued)
