Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
                       (DCFSA)
 What is a DCFSA?
 The County provides a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA). When you enroll in DCFSA,
 the dollars you designate will be deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis and credited to your
 FSA. You can use your DCFSA to be reimbursed for child or elder care expenses which enable you to
 work. This includes costs you incur for childcare for children under age 13 or adults living with you
 whom you claim as a tax dependent. By paying these expenses with pre-tax dollars, you will reduce
 your taxable income and take home a larger portion of your paycheck.

 PLEASE NOTE: you will need to submit claims and copies of your receipts to receive reimbursement.

                       2018 annual maximum contribution amount is:
                                 $5,000 – if married and filing jointly
                                  $2,500 – if filing Single

 These dollars do not rollover from year to year or from one employer to another; any unused portion
 at the end of the year will be forfeited.
                            REMEMBER – THIS IS USE IT OR LOSE IT

            Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
 Health Reimbursement Account (for employees who are 65 years of age or older who are not eligible

 PLEASE NOTE: This is an Employer owned account. Employees are not able to contribute to this
 account on a pre-tax basis.

 The active membership is comprised of school district employees, University and community college
 employees, state and local government employees, and various other political subdivisions in the

 future:

 • PENSION – This benefit plan is designed to provide a monthly income for life and will continue
     to grow as long as you are working within the WRS. Your benefit is based on a formula involving
     your age at retirement, highest average salary, and years of service; it is not affected by
     investment gains or losses. Regular, full-time employees are eligible and automatically enrolled
     on date of hire. You become ‘vested’ after 48 months of service.

CHIP Notice
                   Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
                  Offer Free Or Low-Cost Health Coverage To Children And Families

  If you are eligible for health coverage from your employer, but are unable to afford the premiums,
  some States have premium assistance programs that can help pay for coverage. These States use
  funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs to help people who are eligible for employer-
  sponsored health coverage, but need assistance in paying their health premiums.

  If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed
  below, you can contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is
  available.

  If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any
  of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, you can contact your State
  Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to
  apply. If you qualify, you can ask the State if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums
  for an employer-sponsored plan.

  Once it is determined that you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under
  Medicaid or CHIP, your employer’s health plan is required to permit you and your dependents to
  enroll in the plan – as long as you and your dependents are eligible, but not already enrolled in the
  employer’s plan. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage
  within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance.
  You may also be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. Contact your
                               State for further information on eligibility.

Employee Notice & Rights
                 HIPAA Privacy Notice
                 The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires
                 employers to adhere to strict privacy guidelines and establishes employee’s rights
                 with regard to their personal health information. If you have any questions
                 regarding this federal regulation, please speak with your Human Resources
                 department.

                  Women's Health & Cancer Rights Act Annual Notice (WHCRA)
                  Did you know that your plan, as required by the Women’s Health and Cancer
                  Rights Act of 1998, provides benefits for mastectomy-related services including all
                  states of reconstruction and surgery to achieve symmetry between the breasts,
                  prostheses, and complications resulting from a mastectomy, including
                  lymphedema?
                  Call your Plan Administrator for more information

                 COBRA Rights
                 Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), federal law
                 makes it possible for certain employees and their eligible dependents to continue
                 participation in health care plans if coverage would have otherwise been
                 terminated.

                 Newborn’s and Mother’s Health Protection Act
                 The Newborn’s and Mother’s Heath Protection Act of 1996 (NMHPA) affects the
                 amount of time you and your newborn child are covered for a hospital stay
                 following childbirth. In general, health insurers and HMOs may not restrict
                 benefits for a hospital stay in connection with childbirth to less than 48 hours
                 following a vaginal delivery or 96 hours following a delivery by cesarean section. If
                 you deliver in the hospital, the 48 hour (or 96 hour) period starts at the time of
                 delivery. If you deliver somewhere other than the hospital and you are later
                 admitted to the hospital in connection with the childbirth, the period begins at the
                 time of admission. Also, a health insurer or HMO cannot require you or your
                 attending provider to obtain prior authorization for your delivery or show that the
                 48 hour (or 96 hour) stay is medically necessary. However, a health insurer or
                 HMO may require you to get prior authorization for any portion of stay after the
                 48 hours (or 96 hours).

Please contact your Human Resources Department for detailed information on these federal laws.
