FLEX PLAN DETAILS

Sometimes referred to as a cafeteria plan, flex plan, or a Section 125 Plan – a Flexible benefits Plan lets you set aside a certain amount of your paycheck into an account before paying income taxes. During the year you have access to this account for reimbursement of expenses you regularly pay for, such as healthcare and dependent daycare.

Reimbursable expenses can include:P DeductiblesP Co-paysP Prescription DrugsP Some Over–the-Counter Medicine (OTC) (Such as antacids, allergy medicine, pain relievers, and cold medicines)P Dental CareP Eyewear & Contact LensesP Laser Vision SurgeryP Adult/Child Care ServicesP And More!!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS …

Example: An employee makes $2,000 each pay period and decides to participate in her employer’s Flexible Benefits Plan. As a result, her insurance premiums and health and daycare expenses are paid with tax-free dollars, giving her an additional $100 each pay period!

Gross Earnings $2,000 FICA, Federal, State Taxes - $500 Insurance Premium - $100 Health/Daycare Expenses - $300 NET EARNINGS $1,100

Gross Earnings $2,000 Insurance Premium - $100 Health/Daycare Expenses - $300 Adjust Gross Earnings $1,600 FICA, Federal, State Taxes - $400 NET EARNINGS $1,200

FLEX PLAN DETAILS

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a Flexible Benefits Plan? A benefit provided by your employer that lets you set aside a certain amount of your paycheck into an account before paying income taxes. During the year you can be directly reimbursed from your account for qualified healthcare and daycare expenses.

Why should I participate in the Healthcare Reimbursement Account when I already have health insurance? This account is used to pay for expenses not covered by insurance. For example - annual physicals, co-payments, eye exams, glasses, orthodontics, prescription drugs, some non-prescription drugs and hospital care to name a few.

If I set aside part of my pay, won’t I make less money? Your net take-home pay will increase by the amount of taxes you did not pay. An example of how it may work for you is detailed on the first page of this brochure.

Can I change my contributions during the year? Only if you have a change in status such as: marriage, birth, adoption, or a change in your, your spouse’s, or your dependent’s employment status.

What if I currently take the dependent care credit on my annual tax return? If your family income is over $20,000, you will most likely benefit from this plan rather than taking advantage of the current in-come tax credit. The amount you deposit in your Dependent Care Reimbursement Account reduces the amount, dollar for dollar, that you can claim as a credit on your tax return.

How do I get reimbursed for my expenses? Once you have completed the enclosed enrollment form, a debit card will be issued to you. You can also submit paper claims by completing a claim form. If you need a claim form, contact CPActuaries at 1-866-495-4015. Once you receive the claim form, sim-ply complete it, attach a copy of the healthcare or dependent care bill/receipt, and mail or fax the form and receipts to CPActuaries at 757-425-8666. Within a short time, you will receive your reimbursement by ACH Direct Deposit or mail. When using your debit card, please hold on to all your receipts. You may still need to submit these receipts for claim substantiation.

Do I have to wait for the money to be deposited in my account in order to make a claim for reimbursement? The annual amount you have allocated for the Medical Reimbursement Account is available to you at any time throughout the plan year. The amount available from your Dependent Care Reimbursement Account is the amount you have contributed to date.

How do I know how much is available in my accounts? Each time you are reimbursed you will receive a statement attached to your ACH Direct Deposit email notification or reimburse-ment check that shows the dollar amount you have set aside as well as the amount you have been paid to date. You may call CPAc-tuaries at (757) 422-8880 ext 112 or (866) 495-4015 ext 112. You will also be able to check your balances online.

What happens to my accounts if I terminate my employment? You will be able to request reimbursement for healthcare and daycare expenses for services provided prior to your termination, unless COBRA is available under your plan and is elected.

What if I don’t use all of the money I set aside in my accounts? Carefully review your estimated expenses before making the decision to participate. Any contributions that are not used during the plan year are forfeited. You will have 90 days to submit expenses after the plan year ends.

What if I am not covered under my company’s health insurance plan? Good news! You and your family can still participate in the Medical Care or Dependent Care Reimbursement Accounts.

How do I benefit by participating? Your biggest advantage is the tax savings. Every dollar you set aside in your account reduces your income taxes, and you can be reimbursed for qualified expenses that you are already paying for!

Are there any negatives that I should know about? Yes, because you are not paying any social security tax on that portion of your income that has been redirected, your social secu-rity benefits may be slightly reduced.

FLEX PLAN DETAILS

YOUR OPTIONS

1. Medical Expense Reimbursement AccountThis account reimburses you for medical expenses not covered by insurance. You set aside money, tax-free, through regular payroll deductions. During the year, you can be reimbursed directly from your account for those qualified medical services provided which are not covered by insurance.

Common expenses that qualify for reimbursement are-doctor visits, deductibles, co-payments, prescriptions, mental health care, dental services and orthodontics, chiropractor services, eye exams, glasses and contacts. For a more complete listing, contact CPActuaries or your Human Resource Department.

2. Dependent Care Reimbursement AccountThis account reimburses you for daycare expenses for eligible children and adults. Through regular payroll deductions, you set aside part of your income to pay for these expenses on a tax-free basis. To qualify, your dependents must be: •Achildundertheageof13,or •Achild,spouseorotherdependentwhoisphysicallyormentallyincapableofself-careandspendatleast8 hours day in your household.

Qualified expenses for reimbursement include-adult and child daycare centers, preschool and before/after school care.

*Please note: If your family’s annual income is over $20,000, this reimbursement option will most likely save you more money than the dependent care tax credit you take on your tax return. You will also receive your tax savings throughout the year, rather than once a year when you file your tax return.

DETERMINING YOUR REIMBURSABLE EXPENSE

By completing the following information, you can calculate your annual reimbursable expenses. Take into consideration the services to be provided during the upcoming plan year for you and your dependents.

If you enroll during the Health Care FSA annual open enroll-ment period for coverage beginning MAY 1, your coverage under the plan for the plan year will be equal to monthly election multiplied by 52, up to $2,500. Your corresponding salary reductions will begin on the first pay date of the plan year

The pay period reduction amount may vary depending on any changes in pay frequency, available compensation, leave of absence, or employment termination

Unused FundsWhen deciding how much to contribute, you should make sure that you carefully estimate enough to cover your eligible health care expenses, but not too much, because any unused amount at the end of the year for which a valid claim has not been filed in a timely manner will be forfeited, according to IRS regulations. However, new guidance allows for up to $500 of unused funds to rollover to the next plan year.

You have up to 90 days immediately following the plan year in which the expense was incurred by a Health Care FSA participant to request reimbursement of eligible health and dependant care expenses.
