3 403(b) PLAN HIGHLIGHTS Fairfield USD 310 Participation When am I eligible to participate in this plan? You are eligible to join this plan on your date of hire and as specified by your employer. Contributions What kinds of contributions may be made to this plan? This plan provides for pre-tax salary reduction contributions, post-tax Roth salary reduction contributions, and rollovers. There are no employer contributions. Pre-tax contributions are deducted before you pay current income taxes. Pre-tax investments grow tax-deferred and the contributions and any earnings are taxed when you take a distribution from this plan. Post-tax Roth contributions are deducted after you pay current income taxes. Earnings on posttax Roth contributions will never be taxed if you are 59 ½, die, or become disabled and have held the Roth account for 5 years at the time of its distribution from this plan. You may transfer benefits from a former employer s eligible retirement plan into this plan. How much may I contribute? You can contribute up to 100% of your compensation to this plan up to the limit allowed under the Internal Revenue Code ($17,500 in 2013). If you are age 50 or older you can contribute a catch-up contribution of up to $5,500 (2013). Can I ever lose my benefits? You are always 100% vested in your salary reduction contributions. This means the value of your contributions and earnings are yours when you terminate employment with your employer, without respect to your years of service. What do I have to do to start contributing? Automatic payroll deduction withdraws your contributions directly from your paycheck after you complete a Salary Reduction Agreement and return it to your financial representative or your employer. You may commence making contributions or modify the amount of your current contributions at any time by modifying your Salary Reduction Agreement. Investments Where are my contributions invested? You may choose the 403(b) custodial account or annuity contract you want from the list of approved investment providers and 403(b) investment products located on the Bay Bridge website, How are my contributions invested? You select how you want your contributions to be invested from among the investment options available under each approved investment provider s product. Your investment provider s custodial account or annuity contract will determine how often you may change your investment mix.

5 SEC. 125 CAFETERIA FRINGE BENEFIT PLANS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The following is provided to answer questions frequently asked concerning a Cafeteria Plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 125. This information is not intended as a substitute for specific legal advice from competent counsel on a specific factual situation. For more information, please refer to your employer s Section 125 Plan Document. Q-1 WHAT IS A SEC. 125 CAFETERIA FRINGE BENEFIT PLAN? A-1 Sec. 125 of the Internal Revenue Code allows an employer to establish an employee benefit plan whereby employees may make a choice between various benefits that are offered under the plan. These benefits may be purchased by employer contributions or by the employee reducing his or her salary to purchase the benefits that the employee selects. In either case, the employee receives the selected benefits free of federal and state income taxes and social security taxes (FICA) since the benefits are purchased with pre-tax dollars. Q-2 WHAT ARE THE TAX ADVANTAGES OF A SEC. 125 PLAN? A-2 Since most Sec. 125 benefits are purchased by a reduction in an employee s salary, the employee will reduce his or her taxable income by the cost of the benefit or benefits selected. This means that you will save income taxes on these benefits at your highest federal and state income tax bracket. Also, you do not pay FICA taxes on these benefits. At 25% federal income tax, 6.5% state income tax and FICA taxes of 7.65%, you could save over 35% in taxes for each dollar used to purchase Sec. 125 benefits. Q-3 HOW MAY AN EMPLOYER ESTABLISH A SEC. 125 PLAN? A-3 First, an eligible employer must adopt a Sec. 125 plan for its employees. In adopting a plan, the employer must establish a plan year. At the beginning of the first and succeeding plan years, the employees are given an opportunity to participate in the Sec. 125 plan by completing a benefit selection form. The benefit selection form must be completed prior to the beginning of the plan year. Q-4 WHAT BENEFITS ARE AVAILABLE UNDER A SEC. 125 PLAN? A-4 Benefits that an employer may make available under Sec. 125 plan on a before-tax basis can include: group term life insurance up to $50,000, health insurance (including hospitalization, dental, vision, disability income, accidental death and dismemberment, indemnity coverages such as cancer and dread disease, and heart and stroke insurance) and flexible spending accounts for reimbursement for non-insured medical expenses and dependent care. Excess life insurance above $50,000, long term care insurance, and other benefits might also be available on an after-tax basis under a Sec. 125 plan. Q-5 HOW DOES A FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT WORK? A-5 Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA s) cover two areas. An employee can set aside, on a before-tax basis, money to be reimbursed to the employee to cover medical expenses that aren t covered by their health insurance. The expenses would include such items as insurance deductibles, insurance co-payments, orthodontic expenses and other health related items. (They do not include health insurance premiums such as premiums to be paid for health insurance under a spouse s health insurance plan.) Dependent care expenses of up to $5000 may be set aside on a before-tax basis for childcare. This benefit is for children under age 13 and the care must be provided so that the parent may work or look for work. Payments may not be made to immediate family members such as your spouse or to

6 children under age 19. Dependent care expenses may also be set aside for a dependent spouse or parent who qualifies as your dependent for income tax purposes. Money set aside for medical reimbursement cannot be used for dependent care expenses and money set aside for dependent care expenses cannot be used for medical reimbursement expenses. You should review these benefits carefully each year and set aside only the amount of money that you are sure that you can use in each area. Monies not expended in these accounts are returned to your employer and cannot be returned directly to you. Q-6 WHAT HAPPENS IF MY SPOUSE OR I BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICARE COVERAGE DURING THE PLAN YEAR? A-6 The Internal Revenue Service has indicated that you are eligible for an election change if you or your spouse becomes eligible for Medicare benefits during the plan year. Q-7 WHEN DO MY BENEFITS BEGIN? A-7 Generally, your benefits become available at the beginning of the plan year. Some of your insurance coverages may have a requirement that you be actively at work at the beginning of the plan year for your benefits to begin. New employees who are eligible to enroll during the plan year will usually begin their benefits on the first of the month following enrollment. Your employer s plan will dictate eligibility and the beginning date for benefits you choose. Q-8 WHEN MUST I NOTIFY MY EMPLOYER IF THERE IS AN ERROR IN MY ENROLLMENT? A-8 Originally, the Internal Revenue Service took the position that all errors must be corrected before the beginning of the plan year. Recent discussion with the Internal Revenue Service has indicated that you would have to notify your employer of any error upon your first identification that an error exists. Presumably this would mean when you receive your first paycheck indicating the error. Q-9 IF I PURCHASE PART OF MY SEC. 125 BENEFITS ON AN AFTER-TAX BASIS, MUST I FOLLOW THE CHANGE IN FAMILY STATUS RULES FOR THESE BENEFITS? A-9 Sec. 125 plans allow both taxable and non-taxable benefits. If a taxable benefit is a part of a Sec. 125 plan, you must follow all of the rules of the Sec. 125 plan in making election changes. Q-10 MAY I PURCHASE A TAX-SHELTERED ANNUITY UNDER MY SEC. 125 PLAN? A-10 Tax-sheltered annuities are not an eligible benefit under a Sec. 125 plan. However, you can purchase a tax-sheltered annuity under the rules applicable to Sec. 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. OFG/QA-07-04

7 MAKING CHANGES UNDER YOUR SECTION 125 PLAN The following is provided to answer questions frequently asked concerning a Cafeteria Plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 125. This information is not intended as a substitute for specific legal advice from competent counsel on a specific factual situation. For more information, please refer to your employer s Section 125 Plan Document. Q-1 MAY I CHANGE MY BENEFIT ELECTION DURING THE PLAN YEAR? A-1 The Internal Revenue Service regulations for Sec. 125 plans provide specific rules about changes during a plan year. The rules provide a two-step analysis for determining whether an employee can change his or her election during the year. First, a change in status event must have occurred. Second, the employee s requested election change must be consistent with the event. Following is a list of the qualified status change events. 1. Change in employee s legal marital status including marriage, divorce, death of spouse, legal separation, and annulment. 2. Change in number of dependents including birth, adoption, placement for adoption, and death. Note that dependent is formally defined in the final regulations to be a tax dependent. 3. Change in employment status any of the following events that change the employment status of the employee, the employee s spouse or the employee s dependent would qualify: a termination or commencement of employment; a strike or lockout; a commencement of or return from an unpaid leave of absence; and a change in worksite. In addition, if the eligibility conditions of the benefit plan of the employer of the employee, spouse or dependent depend on the employment status of that individual and there is a change in that individual s employment status with the consequence then that individual becomes (or ceases to be) eligible under the plan, then that change constitutes a change in employment. It is significant to note that this category would not apply if benefit eligibility is not gained or lost as a result of the event. Thus, for example, an individual who moves from full-time to part-time employment status would not be able to change his or her election under this rule if benefit eligibility remains the same. 4. Dependent satisfies (or ceases to satisfy) dependent eligibility requirements an event that causes the dependent to satisfy or cease to satisfy the requirements for coverage due to attainment of age, gain or loss of student status, marriage or any similar circumstances. 5. Residence change a change in the place of residence of an employee spouse or dependent. For this category, it is particularly important to remember that the residence change must affect the employee s eligibility for coverage. 6. Adoption Assistance: Commencement or termination of adoption proceedings would allow an election change under an adoption assistance program. The Consistency Requirement If a change in status event occurs, employees are allowed to make changes consistent with the event. The regulations limit the election changes that will be consistent with the event. Under the regulations, a uniform rule generally applies to all qualified benefits (accident or health coverage and group term life). The threshold question under the consistency requirement is whether the election change is on account of and corresponds with a change in status event that affects coverage eligibility of the employee, spouse or dependent for the qualified benefit. An important exception to this general rule is that an impact on eligibility is not required for marital status or employment status events to support election changes for group term life insurance or long-term disability coverage. Once the threshold standard is met (i.e., the event affects eligibility), two specific consistency tests must be satisfied one when dependent eligibility is lost and another when coverage eligibility is gained through another employer plan. In addition, the regulations have been expanded to recognize that certain changes in life or disability coverage can be consistent even if the requested change does not track the increase or decrease in family size, or result in the gain or loss of eligibility. If the change in status is the employee s divorce, annulment or legal separation from a spouse, the death of a spouse or dependent, or a dependent ceasing to satisfy the eligibility requirements for coverage, the

8 employee can only cancel accident or health insurance coverage for the spouse or dependent, as applicable. Thus, if a dependent dies or ceases to satisfy the eligibility requirements for coverage, the employee s election to cancel accident or health coverage for any other dependent, for the employee or for the employee s spouse fails to correspond with that change in status. If an employee, spouse or dependent gains eligibility for coverage under another employer s cafeteria plan (or qualified benefit plan) as a result of a change in marital status or a change in employment status, an employee s election under the cafeteria plan corresponds with that change in status only if coverage for that individual becomes effective or is increased under the other employer s plan. Q-2 WHEN MUST I NOTIFY MY EMPLOYER IF I HAVE HAD A CHANGE IN STATUS EVENT? A-2 Any change of election because of a change in status event must be made within 30 days of the qualifying event. Q-3 WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN COST OR COVERAGE DURING THE PLAN YEAR? A-3 Mid year election changes are permitted on account of certain mid-year cost and coverage changes, as provided under IRS Section 125 regulations. It should be noted that these provisions do not apply to health Flexible Spending Accounts. Changes in Cost If the cost of a qualified benefits plan decreases during a period of coverage and, under the terms of the plan, employees are required to make a corresponding change in their payments, the cafeteria plan may, on a reasonable and consistent basis, automatically make a prospective decrease in affected employee s elective contributions for the plan. If the cost of a benefit significantly increases during a period of coverage, the cafeteria plan may permit employees either to make a corresponding prospective increase in their payments, or to revoke their elections and, in lieu thereof, to receive on a prospective basis coverage under another benefit package option providing similar coverage. Change in Coverage Coverage Change Rule #1: Significant curtailment If the coverage under a plan is significantly curtailed or ceases during a period of coverage, the cafeteria plan may permit affected employees to revoke their elections under the plan and make a new election for coverage under another benefit package option providing similar coverage. Coverage under an accident or health plan is significantly curtailed only if there is an overall reduction in coverage provided to participants under the plan so as to constitute reduced coverage to all participants generally. Coverage Change Rule #2: Addition (or elimination) of benefit package option If during a period of coverage a plan adds a new coverage option (or eliminates an existing option) the cafeteria plan may permit affected employees to elect the newly added option (or elect another option if an option has been eliminated) prospectively on a pre-tax basis and make corresponding election changes with respect to other benefit package options providing similar coverage. Coverage Change Rule #3: Change in coverage of spouse of dependent under their plan A cafeteria plan may permit an employee to make a prospective election that is on account of and corresponds with a change made under the plan of the spouse s, former spouse s, or dependent s employer if: (1) a cafeteria plan or qualified benefits plan of the spouse s, former spouse s, or dependent s employer permits participants to make an election change that would be permitted under the proposed and final regulations; or (2) the cafeteria plan permits participants to make an election for a period of coverage that is different from the period of coverage under the cafeteria plan or qualified benefits plan of the spouse s, former spouse s, or dependent s employer. Under either option, a consistency requirement must be satisfied since the new election must be on account of and corresponds to the change under the plan of the spouse s, former spouse s, or dependent s employer.

Pretreatment While we don't require a pretreatment authorization form for any procedure, we recommend them for any dental work you consider expensive. As a smart consumer, it's best for you to know your share of the cost up front. Simply ask your dentist to submit the information for a pretreatment estimate to our customer relations department. We'll inform both you and your dentist of the exact amount your insurance will cover and the amount that you will be responsible for. That way, there won't be any surprises once the work has been completed. Open Enrollment If a member does not elect to participate when initially eligible, the member may elect to participate at the policyholder's next enrollment period. This enrollment period will be held each year and those who elect to participate in this policy at that time will have their insurance become effective on the 1 st of their renewal month. Dependent Age The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law in March 2010 requires that private medical insurers offering dependent coverage allow eligible dependents up to age 26. Although the regulations exempt stand-alone dental and vision plans in most states, we are providing this option to match your medical and ancillary coverage dependent age definitions. So we can make this as easy as possible for you, your policy will automatically be changed to reflect the new dependent age definition to age 26, with no impact to your current rates. If you currently have a dependent age higher than age 26, that will remain in place and only the part of the federal language that expands the dependent definition, e.g. marital status, will be implemented. Section 125 This plan is provided as part of the Policyholder's Section 125 Plan. Each employee has the option under the Section 125 Plan of participating or not participating in this plan. If an employee does not elect to participate when initially eligible, he/she may elect to participate at the Policyholder's next Annual Election Period.

Dental Rewards This dental plan includes a valuable feature that allows qualifying plan members to carryover part of their unused annual maximum. A member earns dental rewards by submitting at least one claim for dental expenses incurred during the benefit year, while staying at or under the threshold amount for benefits received for that year. Employees and their covered dependents may accumulate rewards up to the stated maximum carryover amount, and then use those rewards for any covered dental procedures subject to applicable coinsurance and plan provisions. If a plan member doesn't submit a dental claim during a benefit year, all accumulated rewards are lost. But he or she can begin earning rewards again the very next year. Benefit Threshold $500 Dental benefits received for the year cannot exceed this amount Annual Carryover Amount $250 Dental Rewards amount is added to the following year's maximum Maximum Carryover $1,000 Maximum possible accumulation for Dental Rewards Ameritas Managed Care Products Plan members are free to receive care from any dentist they choose. Their out-of-pocket expenses are generally lower when using PPO dentists, who have agreed to provide dental care at contracted fees. Over 83,000 PPO provider access points are available nationwide. PPO network dentists must meet our credentialing and quality assurance evaluation requirements. Pretreatment While we don't require a pretreatment authorization form for any procedure, we recommend them for any dental work you consider expensive. As a smart consumer, it's best for you to know your share of the cost up front. Simply ask your dentist to submit the information for a pretreatment estimate to our customer relations department. We'll inform both you and your dentist of the exact amount your insurance will cover and the amount that you will be responsible for. That way, there won't be any surprises once the work has been completed. Open Enrollment If a member does not elect to participate when initially eligible, the member may elect to participate at the policyholder's next enrollment period. This enrollment period will be held each year and those who elect to participate in this policy at that time will have their insurance become effective on the 1 st of their renewal month. Dependent Age The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law in March 2010 requires that private medical insurers offering dependent coverage allow eligible dependents up to age 26. Although the regulations exempt stand-alone dental and vision plans in most states, we are providing this option to match your medical and ancillary coverage dependent age definitions. So we can make this as easy as possible for you, your policy will automatically be changed to reflect the new dependent age definition to age 26, with no impact to your current rates. If you currently have a dependent age higher than age 26, that will remain in place and only the part of the federal language that expands the dependent definition, e.g. marital status, will be implemented. Section 125 This plan is provided as part of the Policyholder's Section 125 Plan. Each employee has the option under the Section 125 Plan of participating or not participating in this plan. If an employee does not elect to participate when initially eligible, he/she may elect to participate at the Policyholder's next Annual Election Period.

22 Tired of rising healthcare costs? Put the power of healthcare savings into your own hands. Flexible Spending Accounts, or FSAs, are a great way for you to take advantage of a pre-tax benefit account offered through your employer. These accounts are a simple way for you to save on outof-pocket healthcare costs not covered by your insurance plan. With healthcare costs continuing to rise, why wouldn t you participate in an FSA? By taking advantage of your FSA, you can: Reduce your taxes Increase your take-home pay Pay for rising healthcare expenses with pre-tax dollars For more information, contact your plan administrator or human resources department. Still unsure about FSAs? Take a look inside. MasterCard is a registered trademark of MasterCard International Incorporated. This card is issued by M&I Bank FSB pursuant to license by MasterCard International Incorporated.

23 FSA popularity is in dollars and sense. A remarkable $20 billion is put into FSA accounts annually by employees just like you. An FSA can be used for healthcare costs, such as doctor co-pays, LASIK surgery, eyeglasses, contact lenses, orthodontics, eligible over-thecounter products *, prescriptions and much more. Let s start with the definition of an FSA. Quite simply, it stands for Flexible Spending Account and it can be an indispensable part of your overall benefits program. Here s how it works. An FSA is an account your employer sets up so you can pay for a variety of healthcare needs, like insurance co-pays, deductibles, specific over-the-counter healthcare products and even some dental and vision-care costs. But here s the best part: your FSA is funded entirely by your pre-tax income. So you can save money and offset rising healthcare costs. And the more dependents you have, the greater your savings! * Effective January 1, 2011, over-the-counter medicines and drugs that are not prescribed by a physician will not qualify as a medical expense under IRS Code Section 213(d). Here s another way to look at an FSA: by setting aside healthcare funds pre-tax, you can increase your savings and ultimately your spending power. Below is an example of the tax savings you could enjoy by taking advantage of an FSA. With Without an FSA an FSA Annual Salary Before Taxes $30,000 $30,000 FSA Contribution - 1,500 0 Taxable Income $28,500 $30,000 Less Taxes - Federal Income Tax* (estimate 15%) - FICA 7.65% - 6,455-6,795 Less Healthcare Expenses 0-1,500 Take-Home Pay 22,045 21,705 Tax Savings $340 $0 * If your federal income tax rate is higher than 15 percent or if you pay state or local income taxes, you can save even more! Savings and convenience Although your FSA will be deducted through your payroll, you ll have access to your entire FSA contribution on the first day of your plan. That means you can cover all your healthcare costs without waiting to accumulate funds throughout the year. You can also plan for large healthcare expenditures, like surgery, because you choose how much to put into your FSA account. In addition, some employers may offer a plan extension that allows you to continue to spend unused FSA funds for an additional period of time after the plan year ends. Instant access and no paperwork. Of course, not all FSAs are created equal. Yours, for instance, is accessed via the Benefits Card Master- Card, provided by your employer. The Benefits Card lets you pay for eligible healthcare expenses virtually everywhere Debit MasterCard cards are accepted. Stretch your money further. Use your FSA dollars to purchase eligible over-the-counter products that you use every day it s simple! The Benefits Card makes using your FSA dollars simple and easy. The card deducts each payment directly from your FSA account. So it s as convenient as using an ordinary credit card. What s more, the Benefits Card virtually eliminates the endless paperwork and reimbursement wait time that used to make FSAs so complex and cumbersome. All you have to do is save receipts for all your FSA purchases in the event they are requested by your plan administrator. In many cases you won t have to send in a receipt, because with the Benefits Card, your purchases will be autosubstantiated at thousands of retailer locations nationwide.* Because they have an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) in place, these retailers will know instantly which items you purchase are eligible FSA purchases. With one swipe of your benefits card, approved purchases will be authorized and debited from your FSA account. You will be asked to remit another form of payment for the noneligible items. For optimal convenience, your Benefits Card offers 24/7/365 online access, so you can check your account balance and other vital information with a single click. To learn more about the benefits of FSAs and the Benefits Card, simply ask your employer. Once you know the facts, you ll discover that FSAs and the Benefits Card spell real savings. * For a complete list of retailers, contact your benefits administrator. Your Benefits Card provides instant access to your FSA dollars at the physician s office, emergency room, dentist, pharmacy and other eligible locations. The Benefits Card is fast, convenient, secure and simple to use. So sign up today and look for your Benefits Card in the mail.

28 What Qualifies Medical Expenses* The medical reimbursement account will set aside part of your income on a pre-tax basis for medical expenses that you will incur during the coverage period. The coverage period is the effective date of the plan or the date the employee enrolls in the plan through the plan year or grace period end date. Expenses are incurred when the service is provided and not when the employee is formally billed, charged for, or pays for the medical care. Medical expenses include payments you make for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease or for the treatment affecting any part or function of the body. Samples of these expenses would include charges and co-pays for medical appointments, Lasik eye surgery and prescription medications. Cosmetic procedures are not eligible for reimbursement. Any expenses reimbursed through your account cannot be claimed for income tax purposes. The following is a partial listing of medical expenses which are allowed and disallowed through your FSA. Please refer to IRC Section 213(d) for a complete listing of allowed expenses. You are also able to find additional details on eligible expenses on our website under the Forms section.

ENROLLMENT BOOKLET SECURITY FLEX 125 PROGRAM 4

29 Dependent/Day Care Expenses* The dependent care account will set aside part of your income on a pre-tax basis for child/dependent care expenses that you incur during the coverage period. The coverage period is the effective date of the plan or the date the employee enrolls in the plan through the plan year or grace period end date. Expenses are incurred when the service is provided and not when the employee is formally billed, charged for, or pays for the dependent care. Expenses include payments made for the care of a child under 13 and/or a dependent regardless of age who requires care due to an inability to care for him or herself, to enable you (and, if married, your spouse) to remain gainfully employed. For dependents to be eligible, they must spend at least eight hours a day in your home. You must declare them as dependents (or have the ability to declare them as dependents except for their level of gross income) on your Federal tax return. Reimbursement for amounts cannot be claimed if paid to your spouse or tax dependent. Any expenses reimbursed through your account cannot be claimed for income tax purposes. Reimbursements can only be received up to the amount deposited for your payroll deductions. The following is a partial listing of dependent care expenses which are allowed and disallowed through your FSA. You are also able to find additional details on eligible expenses on our website under the Forms section. Please remember day care expenses must be incurred to be eligible for reimbursement. ALLOWED DEPENDENT/ DAY CARE EXPENSES Licensed day care facility Preschool program In-home child and dependent care services Day camp expenses Elder care Any other qualified dependent care expenses as defined by the IRS DISALLOWED DEPENDENT/ DAY CARE EXPENSES Overnight camp Services solely for the purpose of household cleaning Day care for children past their 13th birthday ENROLLMENT BOOKLET *It is possible that changes in the IRS rules can affect the Allowed and/or Disallowed Expenses categories. 5 SECURITY FLEX 125 PROGRAM

30 Submitting Claims You may send in claims throughout the year. Only claims for services incurred during the coverage period are eligible for reimbursement. The coverage period is the effective date of the plan or the date the employee enrolls in the plan through the plan year or grace period end date. Expenses are incurred when the service is provided and not when the employee is formally billed, charged for, or pays for the services. Expenses must be incurred before reimbursement can be made. For example, if you prepay your day care provider at the first of the month or if you are required to pay for dental expenses prior to the services being provided, you cannot submit a claim for those expenses until the services have been received. IRS regulations specifically mandate, A flexible spending account cannot make advance reimbursement of future or projected expenses. It is important that you plan your deposits carefully. Please remember that unused amounts may not be carried forward in the next plan year. In accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines, money remaining in the plan at the end of the plan year will be forfeited if a claim for reimbursement is not submitted by the end of the run-out period. The run-out period is the 90 day period following the end of the plan year or grace period, if applicable. A claim form must be completed and signed when submitted a flexible spending claim. You must attach legible copies of itemized receipts, statements, or an explanation of benefits from your insurance provider. An itemized receipt must include The provider name and address Date of service For whom the service was provided Charges for the service Service(s) that were provided ENROLLMENT BOOKLET SECURITY FLEX 125 PROGRAM 6

31 Submitting Claims (continued) Common reasons claims may be denied or delayed Statements showing balance due or received on account Claim forms received without a signature Services not incurred during the coverage period The claim form provides a space for you to itemize your claim. This is useful when you have multiple items with varying amounts. The worksheet allows you to review your claims and ensure that they contain all the required information. Medical reimbursement claims are processed within three to five business days after they are received in good order. You should receive reimbursement of your claims within seven to ten business days. Dependent care reimbursement can only be paid up to the amount of deposits received in your account. If a claim is received for more than your deposits the claim will be placed on-hold waiting on additional deposits to be received. You will need the provider s name and address, social security number or tax identification number for your records. Dependent care claims are processed within one to three business days after they are received in good order. You should receive reimbursement of your claims within five to seven business days. Please note: All claims received will be retained at Security Benefit and will not be returned once received. Example John River pays his day care provider on March 1 for March day care. He immediately sends in his claim for reimbursement. Why doesn t he receive his reimbursement until the end of the month? Answer The IRS has indicated that expenses are not reimbursable until the expense has been incurred. Day care expenses claimed are for the time you and your spouse go to work. Therefore, expenses will not be incurred until the end of March. Your claim will be held until the end of the month before being processed. ENROLLMENT BOOKLET You should check with your employer to determine when the dependent care deposits will be sent to Security Benefit. According to IRS regulations, dependent care reimbursements cannot be made until Security Benefit has received the employer s deposit. Therefore, your claim could be received, processed and pended until the employer s deposit is received. Once that deposit and your claim have been received, a payment will be mailed to you or an automatic deposit will be directed to your bank. 7 SECURITY FLEX 125 PROGRAM

32 Reasons Why Claims May Not Be Reimbursed All claims received will be processed. However, only those claims that are eligible for reimbursement according to IRS regulations will be reimbursed. Claims received that are not eligible for reimbursement will be kept in your Security Benefit file. You will receive a letter indicating the reason that the claim is ineligible for payment. If you have some claims that are reimbursable and some that are not, you will receive a statement. The statement of benefits will list the reasons why ineligible claims could not be paid. Many scenarios exist that may prevent or delay processing of a claim. The most frequent reasons are listed below. The boldfaced portion will appear on your statement as listed below. Please refer to this list to troubleshoot your claim. Reasons Cosmetic expense ineligible Per IRS regulations cosmetic procedures do not qualify. This includes cosmetic surgery or other procedures that are for improving the patient s appearance and don t meaningfully promote the proper function of the body or prevent or treat illness /disease.

The convenience is: Immediate access to FSA account you avoid paying with cash or check Immediate payment of the expense you avoid waiting for a reimbursement check Claim form for documentation provided to you by mail or The ease of use at the point of sale and the reduced burden of having to pay money out-of-pocket, completing a claim form and waiting for a reimbursement has proven to be extremely convenient for plan participants. How does the Mbi Benefits Card work? The Mbi Benefits Card is accepted only at certain merchants. This includes physician offices, hospitals, dental offices, pharmacies (including mail order), hearing/vision care provides, etc. As you incur health care expenses, you present your card for payment. The card system will validate that your coverage is active and that you have available funds to cover the transaction. You must retain documentation of the expense, as you may be required to substantiate transactions in some cases by providing copies of the documentation. We recommend that you keep all documentation in a separate envelope for the entire plan year in the event the information is requested. For example, itemized receipts listing the merchant name, name of the item/product, date and amount will be requested for all over-the-counter purchases. Use the card only for qualifying expenses, otherwise, you ll have to write a check back to the plan or the card will be deactivated. The card works great for prescription drug or office visit co-pays. If you purchase a prescription drug along with non-qualifying items, be sure to ask the merchant to ring up the prescription separately so that you can use the card. You can use the card for other health expenses, including medical, dental, vision and hearing. The card is valid for a three-year period and will contain information regarding your current plan year election. Each year when you re-enroll, the card will reflect that plan year election amount(s). Is this process paperless? No. Although there is no requirement for you to complete conventional claim forms, additional documentation will be required in order to meet IRS guidelines. Therefore, you must keep copies of all receipts and itemized statements (not the credit card receipt) for each purchase for the entire plan year. You ll receive a letter, or , requesting the documentation and you will be required to submit this information to substantiate the expense according to IRS regulations. You will need to return the signed letter, or , along with the documentation. DO NOT SEND IN THE REQUESTED INFORMATION ON A REGULAR CLAIM FORM. In some cases, you will not need to send in documentation. This occurs when your expense matches a copay that is preset to match copays that may apply to your employer s health insurance. What type of additional documentation is required? The documentation is the same information required for traditional paper claim forms. You must keep copies of all transaction receipts for each card purchase so that these can be provided to the administrator upon request. This includes itemized cash register receipts that list the merchant name, name of the item/product, date and amount (for items such as hearing aid batteries, contact lens solutions or over-the-counter medicines/drugs), insurance plan Explanation of Benefit (EOB) statements, and itemized statements (for vision or other health care expenses). (It does not include the credit card receipt.) For prescription drugs purchased at a pharmacy, this would include the pharmacy receipt (or you can request a printout from your pharmacy). Whenever possible, however, you should purchase prescriptions through any available mail-order service as this not only reduces your costs, it can also help reduce or even eliminate the documentation requirements! We recommend you keep all documentation in a separate envelope at home or work for the entire plan year. REMEMBER, THIS DOCUMENTATION NEEDS TO BE RETURNED ALONG WITH THE SIGNED LETTER, OR .

37 Security Benefit s Flex Convenience Card (Mbi Benefits Card ) FAQ ENROLLMENT BOOKLET What happens if I forget to reply to the letter requesting additional documentation? In the event the request for additional information is ignored, a second letter is generated giving you additional time to respond. If there is no reply to the second request, collection procedures will begin. The card will be deactivated and you will be required to make reimbursement to the plan by personal check. What happens if I accidentally use the card for ineligible or non-qualifying expenses? Be sure to have merchants ring up your qualifying expenses separately from your other personal items so you can use the card. In the event the card is misused, you will be required to write a personal check back to the plan. If you do not reimburse the plan, the card will be deactivated and collection procedures will begin. In addition, your employer will be contacted. Are there any limitations on the usage of the card? Aside from the specific merchant codes and the plan year election amount, there are no limitations. There are no transaction fees, and you have unlimited use of the card. Remember, though, that you must use the card for qualifying items only! Will I receive a cardholder agreement? Yes, you will receive a Fund Transfer Disclosure Statement (cardholder agreement) that you should carefully read and must abide by. You must also read the back of your convenience card, and sign it. By using the card, you agree to the provisions of the cardholder agreement. That is, you agree to use the card only for qualifying expenses, and to provide documentation upon request. Must I use the card for all expenses I incur? No. During the plan year, you can file traditional paper claims or use the Mbi Benefits Card. Remember, the card is valid for a three-year period, so if you choose not to use it at all, we recommend you keep the card in a safe and secure place in the event you wish to use it in future years. Will I receive a statement or an accounting of my Mbi Benefits Card transactions? All transactions, whether they are paper claims or card transactions, will be reflected on your periodic statements provided by Security Benefit. You can also access our web site at How do I report a lost or stolen card? Lost or stolen cards must be reported as soon as possible. During our normal hours of operation, contact us at Before or after business hours and weekends, lost or stolen cards may be reported at There is a $10.00 fee for card replacement for any reason. Can I order a card for my dependents? Yes. You can order an extra convenience card for your spouse or college student by completing the application provided. Please be certain that your dependent fully understands how to appropriately use the card for qualifying expenses only, and that they retain copies of documentation of each transaction. There is a one-time cost of $5.00 for one additional card. What happens if I have a $1,000 limit on my Mbi Benefits Card, but I have a $1,500 transaction? Transactions exceeding your card limit or available balance will be rejected. For this reason, as you use the convenience card throughout the year, you should check your available balance at www. securitybenefit.com. This way you will know how much is available and you can request that the merchant charge only up to the available balance on the card. You may pay for the transaction and file a claim. Your reimbursement would only be for the amount of money you elected, minus the card fee and any other expenses incurred previously. You would not be able to get more reimbursements during the plan year either using the card or by claim forms as you would exceed your election amount. If I terminate employment, can I continue to use the Mbi Benefits Card? No. The card is inactivated at that time. If you have qualifying expenses to submit after your termination of employment, you can use the traditional method of filing a claim form with appropriate documentation. Claim forms are available on the web site. (Remember, though, that your qualifying expenses must be incurred during your period of coverage.) 13 SECURITY FLEX 125 PROGRAM

41 Rules For IRC SEC. 125 Flexible Benefit Plans The Security Flex 125 Program qualifies under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows employers to set up Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for dependent care and/or medical expenses as part of their cafeteria plans. These expenses can be paid with before-tax dollars. Below are the rules that the plan must adhere to: Plan Year Rules During the plan year, you are only allowed to make changes in the benefits selected if there is a family status change. (For example marriage, divorce, birth, death, etc.) All dollars set aside in an FSA plan must be used during the plan year. Any dollars not spent by the end of the plan year must be forfeited. Only charges for services provided or expenses incurred during the coverage period year are eligible for reimbursement. Amounts paid under the plan are not eligible as tax deductions on your Federal Income Tax Return. Maximum Contributions The maximum allocation to your Medical Reimbursement account may not exceed the annual plan maximum determined by your employer. The maximum dependent care expense allowed is $5,000 per calendar year per household ($2,500 in the case of a separate return filed by a married person). Eligible Expenses Expenses for you, your spouse and any taxable dependents are eligible. The Dependent Care FSA allows expenses for: (a) your dependent under age 13 for whom you may claim an exemption deduction, or (b) your dependent who is physically or mentally not able to care for himself or herself and who relies on you for the majority of his or her support, or (c) your spouse who is physically or mentally not able to care for himself or herself. Examples of Eligible Medical Expenses Medical expenses not paid by your health insurance including (but not limited to): Co-pays and deductibles for health, dental and vision Prescriptions Orthodontia Prescription eyewear including: eyeglasses, sunglasses, contacts and solutions associated with their care. Under the IRC Sec. 125 Flexible Benefit plan, you designate the amount of dollars that you plan to use at the beginning of the plan year. These dollars are applied to the appropriate account (Medical or Dependent Care) each month. You may submit claims for payment (subject to a minimum reimbursement of $25). You may submit with each claim as many bills or receipts as you have accumulated. Qualifying medical expenses will be reimbursed up to your annual election upon receipt of proper documentation, regardless of your account balance. Dependent Care expenses are reimbursed as funds are available in the account. Your reimbursement may not exceed your account balance /02/12
