Retirement Benefit Dollar Option

Northwest Community Action Partnership’s is offering benefit dollars that you may elect to

allocate to a 403(b) or a ROTH IRA. This opportunity to save for retirement may have tax-

advantages based on the plan selected. A retirement account provides additional income for

retirement. Employees choosing to enroll in this benefit option must set up a 403(b) or a ROTH

IRA retirement account. The accounts will be held with American Funds.

You may be able to rollover distributions you have received from other plans. To do so, contact

Buck Mintken at Security First Investments in Rushville to see if other accounts are eligible for

rollover and to fill out the paperwork to complete the process.

You have the ability to direct the investments of your account at any time while you are enrolled.

Buck Mintken, with LPL Financial LLC, is available to assist you in making these investment

decisions and changes.

Generally, your account may only be distributed upon retirement, terminations of employment,

death or disability, and after attaining the age 59 ½.

Upon the end of your employment at NCAP, you may elect to have your vested benefit

distributed to you, or rolled over to an IRA or another plan, as soon as administratively feasible.

Distribution forms are provided when an individual has an end date with the agency.

Employees are 100% vested and eligible to participate

the first day of the month following 60 days of

employment. You will be able to direct the

investment for your account. Gains as well as losses

can occur. NCAP will not provide investment advice

or guarantee the performance of any investment you

choose. Buck Mintken, who is affiliated with LPL

Financial LLC, is NCAP’s financial representative

advisor and can assist you in your financial planning

decisions. You can contact him at 308-327-2907.

Cafeteria Plan - Now, Your Paycheck Can Buy More!

Sometimes referred to as a cafeteria plan, flex plan or a Section 125 plan, a Flexible

Spending Account (FSA) lets you set aside a certain amount of your paycheck into an

account—before paying income taxes.

During the year, participants have access to this account for reimbursement of expenses that

insurance does not cover.

For example:

Deductibles, co-pays and other eligible expenses not covered by insurance.

Prescription drugs and medical supplies.

Over-the-counter drugs that are medically necessary like allergy medications, aspirin or

antacids.

(Rx) Prescription required.

Dietary supplements and vitamins with doctor's letter of medical necessity.

Dental services, orthodontics and dentures.

Eyeglasses, contacts, solutions and eye surgery.

Weight-loss programs with a doctor's letter of medical necessity.

Weight-loss over-the-counter drugs.

(Rx) Prescription required

Chiropractic services.

Vitamins with doctor's letter of medical necessity.

Psychiatric care and psychologist's fees.

Smoking-cessation programs.

Smoking cessation over-the-counter drugs.

(Rx) Prescription required

Adult and child daycare services.

Adoption expenses.

When you use tax-free dollars to pay for these expenses, you realize an increase in your

spending power, and substantial tax savings.

$500 of any remaining FSA funds will automatically be rolled into the next year’s plan.

What is a Flexible Spending Account Plan?

A benefit provided by your employer that lets you set aside a certain amount of your

paycheck into an account before paying income taxes. Then, during the year you can be

directly reimbursed from your account for qualified healthcare and dependent care expenses.

Why should I participate in the Healthcare Reimbursement Account when I already have

health insurance?

This account is used to pay for expenses that are not covered by insurance. For example,

your insurance may not cover annual physicals, co-payments, eye exams, eye surgery,

glasses, orthodontics, prescription drugs or dental care, just to name a few.

Changes during the Year You will have the opportunity to review your benefits

yearly for the next plan year. Generally, you cannot

change your benefit elections during the plan year,

except in the case of a qualified change in status,

such as marriage or birth of a child, or in some cases

due to a special enrollment right. Generally, qualified changes in status should be reported to

Northwest Community Action Partnership within 30 days of the event.

Form #125DC2 01/18

Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Only individuals eligible for employer-provided major medical coverage can be offered the health FSA

(Unreimbursed Medical).

This account allows you to pay for out-of-pocket medical, dental, hearing and vision expenses with pre-tax dollars.

Examples of these expenses may be, but are not limited to insurance deductibles, medical exams, hearing, dental

expenses, vision expenses, orthodontia and Prescription Drugs. All health care expenses must be for the diagnosis,

cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body

to be a qualified health care expense under the plan.

Dependent Day Care Spending Account

This account allows you to pay for day care expenses on a pre-tax basis throughout the plan year.

Only those dependent care expenses which allow you (and your spouse if you are married)to be gainfully employed are

eligible. This excludes care which is primarily for medical or educational purposes.

Eligible Dependents - Dependent children under age 13, or any other dependent who is incapable of caring for

himself or herself, whose principal residence is your home and you can claim as a dependent on your federal tax return.

Eligible Expense - Reimbursement is limited to the income of the lower earning spouse and also $5,000/year;

$2,500 if married, filing a separate return. Married employees in separate plans can only be reimbursed in total $5,000.

The reimbursement amount may not exceed the employee’s salary; or for married employees, the lesser of the spouse’s

salaries (subject to certain exceptions). If your spouse is a full time student or incapable of caring for himself or herself,

the maximum is $200 per month for one child or $400 per month for two or more children.

Eligible Providers - A licensed day care center which cares for six or more persons

A unlicensed provider caring for less than six persons

An in-home provider, as long as that provider is not your child under age 19 or someone you or your spouse can claim

as a dependent for tax purposes.

For more information, see IRS publication 503, available from your local IRS office.

Group Insurance Premiums This account allows you to pre-tax your group-sponsored insurance plans. Group term life up to a maximum of $50,000

may be deducted pretax. Please note that most health insurance plans provide life insurance as well. This needs to be

noted in your calculations. (i.e. medical life insurance $10,000 therefore $40,000 term life may be deducted).

Dependent life insurance is not eligible for pretax deductions.

All claims will be paid from actual bills, or copies of actual bills. For Unreimbursed Healthcare Spending Account claims you may

also submit a copy of your EOB form from your insurance carrier. These must contain the name of the provider of service, date(s)

that the services were provided and the amount charged. They must be attached to a completed First Concord Benefits Group

“Claim for Reimbursement” form.
