Sometimes referred to as a cafe teria plan, flex plan, or a Section 125 plan — a Flexible Benefit 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 health care and dependent daycare.

When you use tax-free dollars to pay for these expenses, you realize an increase in your spending power and substantial tax savings.

A Flexible Benefit Plan helps your paycheck buy more!

Reimbursable expenses can include:• Deductibles, co-pays, and prescription drugs• Expenses not covered by insurance• Dental services & orthodontics• Eyeglasses, contacts, solutions & eye surgery• Weight-loss programs

(dual use, requires a doctor’s letter)• Chiropractic services• Psychiatric care & psychologist’s fees• Mileage for healthcare• Over-the-counter drugs that are medically

necessary with a doctor’s prescription• All non-drug, over-the-counter (OTC) items• Adult & child daycare services• For a complete list, visit www.beneflexhr.com

It’s as easy as…

Carefully read this material and choose which options make sense for you to participate in.

Determine how much you expect to spend during the year for each option.

Here’s how it works…Example: An employee makes $2,000 each month and decides to participate in their employer’s Flexible Benefit Plan. As a result, their insurance premiums and health and daycare expenses are paid with tax-free dollars, giving them an additional $100 each month!

What is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?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 FSA when I already have health insurance?This account is used to pay for expenses not covered by insurance.

If I set aside part of my pay, won’t I make less money?No. 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 in this brochure.

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

What over-the-counter (OTC) items require a doctor’s prescription?Any over-the-counter item that is a drug requires a doctor’s prescrip-tion. For the most current list please visit www.beneflexhr.com.

What if I currently take the dependent care credit on my annual tax return?Whether or not to participate in the daycare portion of this plan depends on your income, filing status, number of dependents, and annual daycare expenses.

The amount you deposit into your Dependent Care Account reduces the amount, dollar for dollar, that you can claim as a credit on your tax return. Contact your tax advisor for further information.

How do I get reimbursed for my expenses?You may submit a claim online at www.beneflexhr.com through the employee portal or via our mobile app. Manual claims may be submitted with a claim form via fax, email, or mail.

Do I have to wait for the money to be depos-ited in my account in order to make a claim for reimbursement?

The annual amount you have allocated for the Medical Flexible Spending Account is available to you at any time throughout the plan year. The amount available to you from your Dependent Care Account is the amount you have contributed to date.

How do I know how much is available in my accounts?Each time you receive a manual reimbursement, you will receive a statement attached to your reimbursement check or advice of deposit that shows the dollar amount you have set aside as well as the amount you have been paid to date. Additional options include online, mobile app, and (IVR) phone line account information.

What happens to my accounts if I terminate my employment?You will be able to request reimbursement for healthcare and daycare expenses incurred through the date of termination. Check your Summary Plan Description for any additional rights or benefits provided by your company’s plan.

What if I don’t use all of the money I set aside in my accounts?Carefully review your estimated expenses before making the deci-sion to participate. Any contributions that are not used during the plan year may not be paid to you in cash.

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 or Dependent Care Flexible Spending 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 reim-bursed 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 por-tion of your income that has been redirected, your social security benefits may be slightly reduced.

Step I: Your OptionsStep I: Your Options Step II: Determining Your Reimbursable ExpensesStep II: Determining Your Reimbursable ExpensesThere are several accounts you can participate in with the Flexible

Benefit Plan.I: Medical Flexible Spending AccountThis account reimburses you for healthcare 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 healthcare services provided they are not covered by insurance.Common expenses that qualify for reimbursement are — doctor visits, deductibles, co-pays, prescriptions, mental health care, dental services, orthodontics, chiropractor services, eye exams, glasses, and contacts.II: Dependent Care AccountThis account reimburses 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:

• a child under the age of 13, or• a child, spouse, or other dependent who is physically or mentally

incapable of self-care and spends at least 8 hours a day in your household.

Qualified expenses for reimbursement include: adult and child daycare centers, preschool, and before/after school care.Please note: A dependent care credit is available on your annual tax return. Whether or not to participate in the daycare portion of this plan depends on your income, filing status, number of dependents, and annual daycare expenses. You will also receive your tax savings throughout the year, rather than once a year when you file your taxes. Contact your tax advisor for further information.III: Limited Flexible Spending Account— with an HSAThis account reimburses you “tax-free” for healthcare expenses not cov-ered by insurance similar to the Medical Flexible Spending Account. The difference is this account is compliant with HSA guidelines. It can only be used for dental, vision, and post-deductible expenses.IV: Additional BenefitYour employer may have included benefits in addition to the programs described above. Your Human Resources Department will send notifica-tion, along with this enrollment brochure, if any such additional benefits are being offered at this time.V: Premium Only PlanThis account allows you to pay for your employer-provided health and other insurance premiums with tax-free dollars. If you are covered under your employer’s health and/or other insurance plans, you are automati-cally enrolled in this account! Be sure to let your employer know if you don’t want your premiums paid tax-free.

How does the Benny Card work? It works like a Mastercard®, with the value of your account contribution stored on it. When you have qualified eligible healthcare expenses at a business that accepts Mastercard®, simply use your Benny Card. The amount of your qualified purchases will be deducted automatically from your FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and the pre-tax dollars will be electronically transferred to the provider/merchant for immediate payment.

How does the Benny Card change how I am reimbursed for expenses?

Before the Benny Card, you were required to pay for your eligible expenses at the time of purchase, then submit claim forms along with all receipts. A check was issued, mailed to you, and then you cashed the check.With the Benny Card, you simply swipe the Card and the funds are automatically deducted from your employee benefit account for payment. The Benny Card eliminates most out-of-pocket cash outlays, paperwork, and the need to wait for reimbursement checks.

Is this just like other Mastercard® Cards? The Benny Card is a Mastercard® Card used only for qualified expenses. There are no monthly bills and no finance charges.

Do I need a new Benny Card each year? No, each year your Benny Card will be loaded with your new annual election amount at the start of each plan year. The card is good for five years.

What if I lose my Benny Card or need another one? You’ll receive two Benny Cards. You can request an additional or a replacement Card through BeneFLEX. Replacement Cards may also be ordered through the employee portal. The additional/replacement Card is $10, which may be deducted directly from your pre-tax account.

Activating Your Card How do I activate the Benny Card?

Call toll-free, 1-866-898-9795.What dollar amount is on my Benny Card when I activate it?

The dollar value on your Card will be the amount you elected to contribute to your employee benefit account during your annual benefits enrollment. It’s from that total dollar amount that eligible expenses will be deducted as you use your Card or submit manual claims.

Using the CardWhere can I use my Benny Card?

Doctor, Dentist, Chiropractor, Hospital, Pharmacy, and more. You can find additional information on where your card can be used by going to our website at www.beneflexhr.com and looking under EMPLOYEES, IIAS Info.

Are there places the Benny Card won’t be accepted? Yes. Examples include department stores, hardware stores, restaurants, bookstores, gas stations, and home improvement stores. The card will not work at discount stores, grocery stores, and pharmacies that have not implemented the IIAS system.

If asked, should I select “Debit” or “Credit”?The Benny Card is a stored-value card. You may choose “credit” and sign the receipt, or you may choose “debit” if you have set up the 4-digit PIN#.

Can I use the Benny Card if I receive a statement with a Patient Due Balance for a medical service?

Yes. If the expense occurred during the current plan year. Be sure you have money in your account for the balance due, simply write the Benny Card number on your statement and send it back to the provider.

How do I know how much is in my account?You can access your account information at www.beneflexhr.com, through our mobile app, or call the Interactive Voice Response System (IVR) at 855-210-9527.

Whom do I call if I have questions about my Benny Card?Call BeneFLEX at the phone number on the back of the Benny Card.

What if I have an expense that is more than I have left in my account?

By checking your account balance often—either online, on the mobile app, or by calling the IVR at 855-210-9527—you will have a good idea of how much is available. When incurring an expense that is greater than what is remaining in your account, you can split the cost at the register.

How does the IIAS system work?OTC products eligible for reimbursement by FSA programs are coded in the system and identified on the cash register receipt with a special FSA icon. The system automatically recognizes and separates eligible and ineligible OTC products. Cardholders can then pay for eligible OTC products using the Benny Card automatically debiting their FSA account. As a result, the claim is fully adjudicated and the transaction substantiated with no paper receipts or further verification required. For items not qualifying for FSA reimbursement, the participant must provide an alternative payment method. You still have to save all your receipts, as this is an IRS governed plan.

Will I have to submit copies of my receipts for purchases of over-the-counter (OTC) items?

No, not for non-drug OTC items. On July 1, 2009, the IRS required all grocery stores, discount stores, and pharmacies to have an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) in place. The IIAS system automatically recognizes and separates eligible and ineligible purchases. These purchases will not require you to submit a receipt. The card will only work at merchants that have the IIAS system. Visit our website www.beneflexhr.com and click on the IIAS Info under EMPLOYEES to access a list of merchants that have implemented the system. SPECIAL NOTE: For OTC drugs that are medically necessary, you will need to include your doctor’s prescription with your claim submission. Please refer to our Guidelines for Claims Submission on the back of the claim form. You still have to save all your receipts, as this is an IRS governed plan.

What about other purchases made with my Benny Card? Will I have to submit copies of my receipts for those purchases?

Always keep your receipts. Our system will recognize your pharmacy prescription purchases, doctor co-pays, and drug discount levels. Another great feature is our card can learn when you buy the same thing. For example, you go to the dentist, make monthly payments for braces, after the first payment is adjudicated, the card recognizes ongoing payments for the same amount at the same dentist.
