Plan Insurance Highlights
EB-975
Pecos-Barstow-Toyah Independent School District Policy # 217516
Please read carefully the following description of your Unum Educator Select Income Protection Plan
insurance.
Your Plan
Eligibility You are eligible for disability coverage if you are an active employee in the United States working a minimum of 20 hours per week. The date you are
eligible for coverage is the later of: the plan effective date; or the day after
you complete the waiting period.
Guarantee Issue Current Employees: Coverage is available to you without answering any medical questions or providing evidence of insurability. You may enroll
on or before the enrollment deadline. After the initial enrollment period,
you can apply only during an annual enrollment period.
New Hires: Coverage is available to you without answering any medical
questions or providing evidence of insurability. You may apply for
coverage within 60 days after your eligibility date. If you do not apply
within 60 days after your eligibility date, you can apply only during an
annual enrollment period.
Benefits are subject to the pre-existing condition exclusion
referenced later in this document.
Please see your Plan Administrator for your eligibility date.
Benefit Amount
You may purchase a monthly benefit in $100 units, starting at a minimum
of $200, up to 66 2/3% of your monthly earnings rounded to the nearest
$100, but not to exceed a monthly maximum benefit of $8,000. Please see
your Plan Administrator for the definition of monthly earnings.
The total benefit payable to you on a monthly basis (including all benefits
provided under this plan) will not exceed 100% of your monthly earnings
unless the excess amount is payable as a Cost of Living Adjustment.
However, if you are participating in Unums Rehabilitation and Return to Work Assistance program, the total benefit payable to you on a monthly
basis (including all benefits provided under this plan) will not exceed 110%
of your monthly earnings (unless the excess amount is payable as a Cost of
Living Adjustment).
Elimination Period The Elimination Period is the length of time of continuous disability, due to sickness or injury, which must be satisfied before you are eligible to receive
Page 20
benefits.
You may choose an Elimination Period (injury/sickness) of 14/14, 30/30,
60/60, 90/90 or 180/180 days.
If, because of your disability, you are hospital confined as an inpatient,
benefits begin on the first day of inpatient confinement. Inpatient means
that you are confined to a hospital room due to your sickness or injury
for 23 or more consecutive hours. (Applies to Elimination Periods of 30
days or less.)
Benefit Duration Your duration of benefits is based on your age when the disability occurs.
Plan: ADEA II: Your duration of benefits is based on the following table:
Age at Disability Maximum Duration of Benefits
Less than age 60 To age 65, but not less than 5 years
Age 60 through 64 5 years
Age 65 through 69 To age 70, but not less than 1 year
Age 70 and over 1 year
Federal Income Taxation The taxability of benefits depends on how premium was taxed during the plan year in which you become disabled. If you paid 100% of the premium
for the plan year with post-tax dollars, your benefits will not be taxed. If
premium for the plan year is paid with pre-tax dollars, your benefits will be
taxed. If premium for the plan year is paid partially with post-tax dollars
and partially with pre-tax dollars, or if you and your Employer share in the
cost, then a portion of your benefits will be taxed.
Additional Benefits
Work/Life Balance Employee Assistance
Program1
Work-life balance is a comprehensive resource providing access to
professional assistance for a wide range of personal and work-related
issues. The service is available to you and your family members twenty-
four hours a day, 365 days a year, and provides resources to help employees
find solutions to everyday issues such as financing a car or selecting child
care, as well as more serious problems such as alcohol or drug addiction,
divorce, or relationship problems.
Services include: toll-free phone access to masters-level consultants, up to three face-to-face sessions to help with more serious issues; and online
resources. There is no additional charge for utilizing the program.
Participation is confidential and strictly voluntary, and employees do not
have to have filed a disability claim or be receiving benefits to use the
program.
However, if you become disabled and are receiving benefits, Unum's On
Claim Support can provide additional resources including: coaching on how
to communicate effectively with medical personnel, conducting consumer
research for medical equipment and supplies, assessing emotional needs
and locating counseling resources.
Return to Work/ Unum supports efforts that enable a disabled employee to remain on the job or return to work as soon as possible. If you are disabled but working part
Page 21
Work Incentive Benefit time with monthly disability earnings of 20% or more of your indexed monthly earnings, during the first 12 months, the monthly benefit will not be
reduced by any earnings until the gross disability payment plus your
disability earnings, exceeds 100% of your indexed monthly earnings. The
monthly benefit will then be reduced by that amount.
Rehabilitation and Return to Work Assistance
Unum has a vocational Rehabilitation and Return to Work Assistance
program available to assist you in returning to work. We will make the
final determination of your eligibility for participation in the program, and
will provide you with a written Rehabilitation and Return to Work
Assistance plan developed specifically for you. This program may include,
but is not limited to the following benefits:
coordination with your Employer to assist your return to work;
adaptive equipment or job accommodations to allow you to work;
vocational evaluation to determine how your disability may impact
your employment options;
job placement services;
resume preparation;
job seeking skills training; or
education and retraining expenses for a new occupation.
If you are participating in a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Assistance
program, we will also pay an additional disability benefit of 10% of your
gross disability payment to a maximum of $1,000 per month. In addition,
we will make monthly payments to you for 3 months following the date
your disability ends, if we determine you are no longer disabled while:
you are participating in a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Assistance
program; and
you are not able to find employment.
(This benefit is not allowed in New Jersey.)
Worksite Modification If a worksite modification will enable you to remain at work or return to work, a designated Unum professional will assist in identifying whats needed. A written agreement must be signed by you, your employer and
Unum, and we will reimburse your employer for the greater of $1,000 or
the equivalent of two months of your disability benefit.
Medical Treatment Benefit
A Medical Treatment Benefit will be paid when you receive treatment by a
doctor as a result of a sickness or injury, provided no other benefits are
payable under the plan as a result of the condition for which the treatment
was rendered.
The Medical Treatment Benefit will be the doctor's actual charge for
services rendered, up to a maximum benefit of $50 for sickness or $100 for
injury. In addition, the charges must be for medically necessary care and
treatment and in keeping with the extent of the sickness or injury.
No benefit will be paid unless you are personally seen and treated by a
doctor and the treatment is not for routine medical examinations or dental
Page 22
work.
Note: No more than one Medical Treatment Benefit will be paid for the same or related condition(s) unless the treatment dates are separated by at least 14 consecutive days. In addition, no more than one benefit will be paid for treatment during any 24 hour period and the benefit will not be paid more than 4 times per calendar year.
Waiver of Premium After you have received disability payments under the plan for 90 consecutive days, from that point forward you will not be required to pay
premiums as long as you are receiving disability benefits.
Survivor Benefit
Unum will pay your eligible survivor a lump sum benefit equal to 3 months
of your gross disability payment.
This benefit will be paid if, on the date of your death, your disability
had continued for 180 or more consecutive days, and you were
receiving or were entitled to receive payments under the plan. If you
have no eligible survivors, payment will be made to your estate, unless
there is none. In that case, no payment will be made. However, we will
first apply the survivor benefit to any overpayment which may exist on
your claim.
You may receive your survivor benefit prior to your death if you are
receiving monthly payments and your physician certifies in writing that you
have been diagnosed as terminally ill and your life expectancy has been
reduced to less than 12 months. This benefit is only payable once and if
you elect to receive this benefit, no survivor benefit will be payable to your
eligible survivor upon your death. (Note this Accelerated Survivor Benefit is not available in Connecticut.)
Dependent Care Expense Benefit
If you are disabled and participating in Unums Rehabilitation and Return to Work Assistance program, Unum will pay a Dependent Care Expense
Benefit when you are disabled and you provide satisfactory proof that you:

Other Important Provisions
Pre-existing Condition Exclusion
Benefits will not be paid for disabilities caused by, contributed to by, or
resulting from a pre-existing condition. You have a pre-existing condition if:
you received medical treatment, consultation, care or services including diagnostic measures, or took prescribed drugs or
medicines in the 3 months just prior to your effective date of
coverage; and the disability begins in the first 12 months after your
effective date of coverage.
Continuity of Coverage
If you are actively at work at the time you convert to Unums plan and become disabled due to a pre-existing condition, benefits may be
payable if you were:
in active employment and insured under the plan on its effective date; and
insured by the prior plan at the time of change.
To receive a payment, you must satisfy the pre-existing condition under
the Unum policy or the prior carriers policy. If you satisfy Unums pre-existing condition provision, payments will be determined by the
Unum policy.
If you only satisfy the pre-existing condition provision for the prior carriers policy, the claim will be administered according to the Unum policy.
However,
the payments will be the lesser of the benefit payable under the terms of the prior plan or the benefit under the Unum plan;
the elimination period will be the shorter of the elimination period under the prior plan or the elimination period under the Unum plan;
and
benefits will end on the earlier of the end of the maximum period of payment under the Unum plan or the date benefits would have
ended under the prior plan.
Definition of Disability
You are disabled when Unum determines that:
you are limited from performing the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation due to your sickness or injury;
you have a 20% or more loss in indexed monthly earnings due to the same sickness or injury; and
during the elimination period you are unable to perform any of the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation.
After benefits have been paid for 24 months, you are disabled when Unum
determines that due to the same sickness or injury, you are unable to
perform the duties of any gainful occupation for which you are reasonably
fitted by education, training or experience.
Page 24
You must be under the regular care of a physician in order to be considered
disabled.
Gainful Occupation
Gainful occupation means an occupation that is or can be expected to
provide you with an income within 12 months of your return to work, that
exceeds 80% of your indexed monthly earnings if you are working or 60%
of your indexed monthly earnings if you are not working.
Benefit Integration Your disability benefit will be reduced by deductible sources of income and any earnings you have while disabled. Your gross disability payment
will be reduced immediately by such items as disability income or other
amounts you receive or are entitled to receive from workers compensation
or similar occupational benefit laws, sabbatical or assault leave plans and
the amount of earnings you receive from an extended sick leave plan as
described in Louisiana Revised Statutes or any other act or law with similar
intent.
After you have received monthly disability payments for 6 months, your
gross disability payment will be reduced by such items as additional
deductible sources of income you receive or are entitled to receive under:
state compulsory benefit laws; automobile liability insurance; legal
judgments and settlements; certain retirement plans; salary continuation or
sick leave plans; other group or association disability programs or
insurance; and amounts you or your family receive or are entitled to receive
from Social Security or similar governmental programs.
Regardless of deductible sources of income, an employee who qualifies for
disability benefits is guaranteed to receive a minimum benefit amount of the
greater of $100 or 10% of the gross disability payment.
Mental Illness/Self-Reported Symptoms
The lifetime cumulative maximum benefit period for all disabilities due to
mental illness and disabilities based primarily on self-reported symptoms is
24 months. Only 24 months of benefits will be paid for any combination of
such disabilities even if the disabilities are not continuous and/or are not
related. Payments would continue beyond 24 months only if you are
confined to a hospital or institution as a result of the disability.
Instances When Benefits Would Not Be Paid
Benefits will not be paid for disabilities caused by, contributed to by, or
resulting from:
intentionally self-inflicted injuries;
active participation in a riot;
commission of a crime for which you have been convicted;
loss of professional license, occupational license or certification;
pre-existing conditions (see definition).
Unum will not cover a disability due to war, declared or undeclared, or any
act of war.
Unum will not pay a benefit for any period of disability during which you
are incarcerated.
Termination of Coverage Your coverage under the policy ends on the earliest of the following:
The date the policy or plan is cancelled;
Page 25
The date you no longer are in an eligible group;
The date your eligible group is no longer covered;
The last day of the period for which you made any required contributions;
The later of the last day you are in active employment except as
provided under the covered layoff or leave of absence provision; or
if applicable, the last day of your contract with your Employer but
not beyond the end of your Employers current school contract year.
Unum will provide coverage for a payable claim which occurs while you are
covered under the policy or plan.
