WELCOME!To help educate you on the many benefits West Ada School District offers, please review the following 2016 benefit materials. If you have any questions about your benefits, we are here to help!

HUMAN RESOURCES Please contact Human Resources for any benefit related questions including benefit coverage, contributions, enrollment, benefit change forms, notification for changes in status, provider directories, and general carrier information.

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERSFederal law requires you to provide a valid Social Security Number for each person to be covered by any medical plan sponsored by your employer (yourself, your spouse, and all dependent children).

MEDICARE PART DIf you have Medicare or will become eligible for Medicare in the next 12 months, Federal law gives you more choices about your prescription drug coverage. See Human Resources for more information.

IRS REGULATIONSFailure to meet IRS Deadlines will affect your insurance coverage! IRS regulations govern how and when an employee may make cafeteria plan elections and changes to those elections. These rules require that employers enforce firm deadlines with respect to employee benefit enrollment forms and the related cafeteria plan elections. This means that we cannot accept forms turned in after open enrollment ends. Furthermore, if you experience a qualifying event allowing you to add, drop, or modify your coverage and related cafeteria plan election mid-year, we must be notified of such event. The required forms generally must be completed within 30 days of such event, or you cannot make the change. In addition, please be aware that with the exception of the birth, adoption, or placement for adoption of a child, any cafeteria plan election, changes can only be implemented prospectively, i.e., on the first paycheck or period of coverage following our receipt of the form. Therefore, if you are making a change based on a qualifying event other than a new child, and you want changes implemented as of the date of the event, you must inform us of the change and turn in your form in advance or as soon after the event as possible. If you do not enroll on time, you will not receive coverage or be able to change your elections mid-year unless you have a special enrollment opportunity.

If you have any questions regarding this federal regulation, please speak with your Moreton & Company Representative or contact Human Resources.

WHY IS OPEN ENROLLMENT SO IMPORTANT?Benefits open enrollment for West Ada School District is held each year. Employees should understand that the pre-tax payment for applicable benefits are done through the Cafeteria Plan (premium only plan) and will remain in effect and cannot be revoked or changed during the plan year. Employees must notify Human Resources of any change of status as soon as possible, but in no event more than 30 days of the event. Once the enrollment period has ended, employees may not make or change benefit elections. If employees believe they can make or change an election due to a change in employment or family status, they generally have 30 days to complete and return a new enrollment form.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE CHANGES DURING THE YEAR?After the enrollment deadline, your election is generally irrevocable, meaning you cannot add, modify, or drop coverage for the plan year. You may have a special enrollment right allowing coverage changes for certain losses of coverage eligibility under another plan or if you gain a new spouse or dependent. You also may be entitled, or required, to change your election if you, your spouse, or dependents experience one of the Qualifying Change events below.

reimbursem

entaccounts 2016

Flores & AssociatesJanuary 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016Reimbursement accounts enable you to pay certain qualified expenses using tax-free dollars. Depending on your personal tax rate, this can save you 10% to 30% or more on medical, dental, vision, and/or dependent care out-of-pocket costs.

THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNTS MAY BE AVAILABLE TO YOU:FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA)This account allows you to set aside up to $2,550 in pretax dollars to pay most out-of-pocket medical, dental or vision care expenses, including: Medical and Dental Deductibles and Co-payments, Eye Glasses, Dental, and Orthodontic work not covered by insurance. As of January 1, 2015, under the Affordable Care Act, the maximum amount that can be contributed to a Flexible Spending Account is $2,550 per year.

DEPENDENT CARE ASSISTANCE PLAN (DCAP)This account lets you set aside up to $5,000 in pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible dependent care expenses so you (and if married, your spouse) can work.

THE ADVANTAGES There are some significant advantages to using the above reimbursement type accounts. Income directed to a reimbursement account is tax free. When you pay less in taxes, you receive more spendable income. The accounts can save you 10% to 30% or even more, depending on your personal tax rate. Convenient payroll deductions help assure that you will have money avail-able for out-of-pocket health and/or dependent care expenses.

HOW IT WORKS During annual enrollment, you decide how much you want to deposit into your reimbursement account(s). That amount is deducted evenly during the calendar year from your paycheck before taxes are taken out. When you have an expense that qualifies, you pay the bill, submit a claim, and you are reimbursed with tax-free dollars from your account. For example:

JOHN'S EXPENSESLENSES & FRAMES $280ORTHODONTIA + $1,000CO-PAYS + $120ANTICIPATED SURGERY + $1,150TOTAL FOR THE YEAR = $2,550

John's Situation WITHOUT the AccountJOHN'S ANNUAL EARNINGS $30,000TAXES (25%) - $7,500NET PAY $22,500EXPENSES (AFTER TAXES) - $2,550TAKE HOME PAY = $19,950

John's Situation WITH the AccountJOHN'S ANNUAL EARNINGS $30,000EXPENSES (BEFORE TAXES) - $2,550TAXABLE PAY $27,450TAXES (25%) - $6,863TAKE HOME PAY = $20,587John's take home pay increases $637 by using the reimbursement account.

ELIGIBILITY You will be eligible to participate in the account(s) on the first day of the month following your first pay check. Following are additional guidelines for determining eligible expenses:• Expenses are for services received during the calendar year (Jan. 1 to Dec. 31).• Expenses are not covered by any health care plan in which you are enrolled.• The IRS would otherwise let you deduct the expenses on your income taxes.

THE DEPENDENT CARE ASSISTANCE PLAN With the Dependent Care account you can set aside tax-free income to pay for qualified dependent care expenses, such as day care, that you normally pay with after-tax dollars. You must meet the following criteria in order to set up this account:• You and your spouse both work;• You are a single head of household; or• Your spouse is disabled or a full-time student.

Qualified dependents include children under 13 and/or dependents who are physically or mentally handicapped and the expense must be incurred to allow you to work. If your spouse is unemployed or doing volunteer work you cannot set up a reimbursement account. Each calendar year the IRS allows you to contribute the following amounts, depending on your family status:• If you are single, the lesser of your earned income or $5,000• If you are married, you can contribute the lowest of:

• Your (or your spouse’s) earned income. • $5,000 if filing jointly, or $2,500 if filing separately.

ROLLOVER OPTION If you don’t use all the pre-tax dollars you deposited in your FSA account during the plan year, you may roll-over up to $500 into the next plan year. (The roll-over amount does not count toward the $2,550 yearly maximum FSA contribution limit.) Any remaining unused balance at the end of the plan year will be forfeited. If you do not use all of the pre-tax dollars you deposited in your DCAP account, you will forfeit any balance in the account at the end of the plan year. You have until March 31, 2016 to submit claims for expenses incurred during that plan year

ONCE ENROLLED, YOU MAY NOT CHANGE Once you have designated how much you want to contribute on an annual basis to one or both of your reimbursement accounts, you cannot stop or change your contributions unless you have a qualifying Change Event as defined and limited by the IRS. See Qualifying Change rules earlier in this guide.

REIMBURSEMENTSTo claim reimbursements, fill out a claim form and attach any supporting information. For health care this will include receipts of the amount you paid and the date(s) on which you or a dependent received services. For dependent care this may include any contracts, letters, or receipts. You may send this information to Flores & Associates via email, fax, or standard mail.

Public Employee Retirement Systems of Idaho (PERSI)

These benefits generally are NOT sponsored or endorsed by your employer including for purposes of Federal and State law, so Federal ERISA law is inapplicable.

PERSI Retirement PlanYou become a PERSI member when you go to work in an eligible position with a PERSI employer. When you earn 60 months of service credit you will be vested to receive a lifetime benefit at retirement. The 60-month vesting period (5 months for elected and some appointed officials) does not have to be with the same PERSI employer. So unless you leave public employment altogether, changing jobs should not affect your PERSI membership.

Base Plan BenefitsEnrollment in the PERSI Base Plan (pension) is mandatory. Both you and your employer make contributions to PERSI: Employee contributes 6.79% and Employer contributes 11.32%. Your contributions are credited to your personal account, while employer contributions are pooled in a trust to cover benefits. The actual value of your benefit exceeds your contributions. When you retire as a vested member, PERSI will pay you every month for as long as you live - and if you select a retirement option with survivor benefits, your Contingent Annuitant will receive a benefit for life after your death.

Portability of FundsYour Base Plan contributions are always yours. If you leave a PERSI employer, but keep your Base Plan money in PERSI and later work for another PERSI-covered employer, you retain the service credit earned in your previous job. All service credit you earn while working for a PERSI employer is automatically combined into a single account for you.

The Choice 401(k) PlanThe Choice 401(k) Plan is an optional defined contribution retirement savings plan available to active members. Unlike the Base Plan, participation in The Choice 401(k) Plan is completely voluntary. It allows you to contribute a portion of your salary on a tax-deferred basis via payroll deduction. This means your contributions come out of your paycheck before taxes, thereby reducing the amount of taxes you pay during the year. The Choice 401(k) Plan includes a loan provision where members may take a loan for any reason as long as they have a balance of $2,000 or more in their account, excluding any gain sharing amounts.

The Choice 401(k) Plan has 12 investment options. One of the most popular is the PERSI Total Return Fund (TRF), which mirrors the Base Plan investments. The TRF is the default investment fund. Your contributions are automatically invested in the TRF unless you elect otherwise. The TRF has no investment manager fee; however, fees are associated with the other 11 investment options. Unlike the Base Plan, you manage your Choice 401(k) Plan funds. In most cases, you may change deferral amounts and investments at any time. No fee is charged for making changes to your account. PERSI pays the record keeping fees for active members.

Money from other qualified retirement plans, such as a 401(a), 457, pre-tax IRA, 403(a) or 403(b), or another 401(k) account, can be rolled over to The Choice 401(k) Plan at PERSI. After-tax contributions cannot be rolled into The Choice Plan.

For More InformationTo learn more about PERSI, or for more detailed information about your retirement options and benefits, visit the PERSI Website at: www.persi.idaho.gov. You may also contact the PERSI Answer Center Monday thru Friday between 7:30 am and 5:30 pm (Mountain Time) by calling 208-334-3365 in the Boise area, or toll free 800-451-8228 from other parts of the state. Your Human Resources Department and/or payroll personnel will gladly assist you as well.

16 TSA Consulting Group403(b) Plan - 100% Employee Contribution

These benefits generally are NOT sponsored or endorsed by your employer including for purposes of Federal and State law, so Federal ERISA law is inapplicable.

The 403(b) Plan is a valuable retirement savings option available through West Ada School District.

Plan administrative services for the 403(b) are provided by TSA Consulting Group, Inc. (TSACG). Visit the TSACG website (tsacg.com) for information about enrollment in the Plan, investment product providers available, distributions, enrollment, exchanges or transfers, 403(b) loan and roll overs.

All employees with the exception of private contractors, school board members and student workers are eligible to participate in the 403(b) plan immediately upon employment. Employees may make voluntary elective deferrals to the 403(b) plan. Participants are fully vested in their contributions and earnings at all times.

Employees who wish to enroll in the Supplemental 403(b) Retirement Plan must first select the provider and investment product best suited for their 403(b) account. Upon establishment of the account with the selected provider, a "Salary Reduction Agreement"(SRA) form and any disclosure forms must be completed and submitted to West Ada School District. This form authorizes the District to withhold 403(b) contributions from your pay and send those funds to the Investment Provider on your behalf. A SRA must be completed to start, stop or modify contributions to a 403(b) account.

Upon enrollment, participants designate a portion of their salary that they wish to contribute to their 403(b) account up to their maximum annual contribution amount on a pre-tax basis, thus reducing the participant's taxable income. Salary deferral contribution to the participant's 403(b) account are made from income paid through West Ada School District's payroll system. Taxes on contributions and any earnings are deferred until the participant withdraws their funds.

Participants in defined contribution plans are responsible for determining which, if any, investment vehicles best serve their retirement objectives. The 403(b) Plan assets are invested solely in accordance with the participant's instructions. The participant should periodically review whether his/her objectives are being met, and make changes as appropriate. Careful planning with a tax advisor or financial planner may help to ensure that the supplemental retirement savings plan meets your needs.

TSACG monitors 403(b) plan contributions and notifies the employer in the event of an excess contribution.
