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 amountfor benefits received for that year. In addition, a person earning dental rewards who submits a claim for services received through the dental PPO network earns an extra reward, called the PPO Bonus. 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)Annual PPO Bonus - $100 Additional bonus is earned if the member sees a PPO providerMaximum Carryover – $1,000 (Maximum possible accumulation for Dental Rewards and PPO Bonuscombined)

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.

Late Entrant Provision: We strongly encourage you to sign up when you are initially eligible.If you are not a new hire within your initial eligibility timeframe and you and/or your dependents are not currently covered under the Dental plans there will be a late entrant penalty applied to your coverage. The Late Entrant Penalty states for the first 12 months of coverage you and/or your dependents will be eligible only for routine exams, cleanings, and children’s fluoride applications. (Ex: X-rays, space maintainers, fillings, sealants, etc. will not be covered for the first 12 months).

Locate a Provider:To find a provider, visit ameritasgroup.com and select FIND A PROVIDER, then DENTAL. Enter your criteria to search by location or for a specific dentist or practice. When prompted to select your network, choose PPO Dental Network.

Term Life Insurance provides valuable financial protection for your family. McIntosh County School System is please to offer a solution.

You are eligible to enroll in the Voluntary Term Life and AD&D Insurance program underwritten by Metlife.

This enrollment period is an annual opportunity to increase coverage or elect life insurance if you do not already have coverage. Your premium will be based on the coverage amount you elect.

Premiums will be paid through the convenience of payroll deduction.

If you are currently enrolled in the voluntary term life with Cigna, your coverage will automatically rollover unless you complete a new application changing the coverage.

Benefit Coverage

Employee Voluntary Life You can purchase coverage in increments of $10,000 up to the lesser of $500,000 or 5 Times Annual Salary.

New Hires: You will have a guarantee issue amount of $200,000.

Current Employees: If you are currently enrolled with minimum coverage, you will be allowed to increase coverage by $10,000 with no EOI, not to exceed $200,000.

Spouse Voluntary Life You can purchase coverage in increments of $5000 up to a maximum of $100,000 not to exceed 50% of employee’s coverage.

New Hires: Spouse elections over $25,000 will require Evidence of Insurability.

Current Employees: If you are currently enrolled with minimum coverage, you will be allowed to increase coverage by $5000 with no EOI, not to exceed $25,000.

Child(ren) Voluntary Life You can purchase coverage of $1000, $2000, $4000, $5000, or $10,000 not to exceed 100% of spouse’s coverage.

Coverage amounts elected over the Guarantee Issue amounts will require EOI that is satisfactory to the insurance carrier before the excess can become effective.

You will be considered a Late Entrant if you do not elect minimum coverage when initially eligible or as part of this year’s annual enrollment opportunity. If you later elect coverage, you will be required to complete an Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form that is satisfactory to the insurance carrier before the coverage can become effective.

Portability – You may be eligible to take coverage with you at group rates in the event that you terminate employment.

Plan includes Waiver of Premium benefit if the insured becomes disabled prior to age 60; following a 9 month waiting period, coverage continues to age 65.

Important Terms to Understand

Evidence of Insurability (EOI): Evidence of Insurability is a request to verify good health and is often in the form of a questionnaire. This is required when you are requesting insurance that is over the guarantee issue amount or if you are enrolling after your initial enrollment.

Guarantee Issue: Guarantee Issue is the amount of life insurance that you can elect without having to provide evidence of insurability. The guaranteed issue period is 31 days from the date you first become eligible for the plan from your date of hire. If you choose not to enroll when you are first eligible and enroll at a later date, the entire amount of insurance will be subject to evidence of insurability.

If, after that 16 months, she continues to be confined to a long term care facility, she will be eligible to receive up to another 16 months of payments.•$50,000 death benefit x 6% per month = Monthly benefit of $3,000 for 16 months.•Each month a payment is made, $3,000 will be restored to the life insurance death benefit. The $50,000 death benefit remains available in the event of death. After the first 16 months, Suzanne is eligible to receive another 100% of the face amount: $50,000 face amount x 6% per month = an extended monthly benefit of $3,000 for up to another 16 months.•Total Potential Benefit for Suzanne Smith: $150,000.

You may not drop the coverage you elected until the next open enrollment period. You may only make a change or drop coverage elections before the next open enrollment period under the following circumstances:•A change in marital status, or•A change in the number of dependents due to birth, adoption, placement for adoption or death of a dependent, or•A change in employment status for myself or my spouse, or•Open enrollment elections for my spouse, or•A change in dependents eligibility, or•A change in residence or worksite.Any change being made must be appropriate and consistent with the event and must be made within 30 days of when the event occurred.

The privacy of your protected health information that is created, received, used or disclosed by the Plan(s) is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"). This Notice is available on the web at: www.jonescountyschoolsys.bswift.com. A paper copy is also available, free of charge, by calling your Employer or ShawHankins at 800-994-7429. Please note the participant is responsible for providing a copy to their dependents covered under the group health plan."  GENERAL NOTICE OF COBRA CONTINUATION COVERAGE RIGHTS: On April 7, 1986, a federal law was enacted (Public Law 99272, Title X) requiring that most employers sponsoring group health plans offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage (called "continuation coverage") at group rates in certain instances where coverage under the plan would otherwise end. If you or your eligible dependents enroll in the group health benefits available through your Employer you may have access to COBRA continuation coverage under certain circumstances. Therefore, your plan makes available to you and your dependents the General Notice Of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights. This notice contains important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan.  This notice generally explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect the right to receive it.  The full Notice is available on the web at: www.joneoscountyschoolsys.bswift.com. A paper copy is also available, free of charge, by calling your Employer or ShawHankins at 800-994-7429.
