Open Enrollment ends May 16 - only time changes* can be
made to health/dental/life/disability/FSA
The deadline (May 16, 2019) for Open Enrollment is fast approaching for eligible Kent County
employees, retirees, dependents, and former employees/dependents with COBRA benefits to make
additions/changes to certain employee type benefits such as health and dental, etc., *unless a
qualifying event occurs during the plan year.
The May 16 deadline also applies for enrollment
or re-enrollment (must be completed annually) for the
Flexible Spending Account program to be administered
this year by ASIFlex featuring a no cost debit card for
the eligible participating employee. Any rollover for
current FSA participants will continue to be
administered by the Personnel Office, but all new plan
year expenses will be administered by ASIFlex and
enrollment can be completed electronically. For more
information, check out the numerous articles available on the Employee News blog at
www.co.kent.de.us
Submit enrollment forms for any changes to your DVHT/Aetna health insurance plan and/or
your Delta Dental insurance plan to the Personnel Office by Thursday, May 16 at 5:00 p.m. You can
also submit the paper enrollment for a Flexible Spending Account to the Personnel office by the same
date or complete the on-line enrollment at www.asiflex.com
Voluntary supplemental insurance application/change forms must be submitted to the
Personnel Office by May 31, 2019. If you complete the form with the AFLAC or MassMutual
Account representative, they will submit the form on your behalf. Payroll deductions start with the
July 12, 2019 paycheck.
These valuable employee-paid voluntary insurance benefits offer additional financial
protection for you and your family in the event of hospitalization, accident, cancer, critical illness,
death, or short and long term disability. Premiums for AFLAC insurance and the MassMutual (which
acquired MetLife) whole life insurance programs vary, but the representatives are happy to schedule
an appointment with you to discuss the programs further. For more information about optional life
insurance or accidental death & disability or long term disability offered by SunLife, please contact
the Personnel Office.
AFLAC representative Eunice Craig is currently accepting appointments for Tuesday, May
21, 2019 beginning at 9:00 a.m. in Room 221 of the Kent County Administrative Complex to meet
with interested employees. Please schedule an appointment by contacting the Personnel Office.
The AFLAC representative will be available to meet with employees at the Emergency
Services Building on Monday, May 13, 2019 from 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. and Thursday, May 16, 2019
beginning at 3:00 p.m. Please schedule appointments with Nicole Vautard or Jennifer Graham. She
will be at the Regional Resource Recovery Facility on Wednesday, May 15, 2019 at 3:00 p.m.
Please schedule appointments with Mary Fabres. And she will be at the Recreation Center on
Monday, May 13, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. Please schedule appointments with Angel Short.
The MassMutual whole life insurance representative will be available May 16, 2019 after
2:00 p.m. to meet with existing still valid Metlife insurance policy holders and those employees
interested in more information about portable whole life insurance available for you, your spouse,
your children and grandchildren from MassMutual. This whole life insurance policy can be continued
into retirement at the same rate, while the optional term life insurance policy currently offered to
employees from SunLife loses the lower cost group rate upon retirement. Please schedule
MassMutual appointments with the Personnel Office.
The DVHT (Aetna) plans are unchanged for 2019-20 with a High PPO/Modified HRA option
and a Low PPO/Modified HRA option except that the plan design now includes an integrated HRA –
meaning that the $5,000 single/$10,000 family deductible fully paid by the County will cover both in-
network and out-of-network expenses, and the addition of infertility coverage to incorporate
provisions of a new State law. As a PPO, eligible participants can use non-Aetna network providers,
but will be required to pay the applicable co-insurance percentage. Kent County pays 100% of the
HRA expense. No enrollment forms are required, unless a coverage change is desired.
Retirees/dependents over age 65 are covered under a PPO $0 100% Medicare supplement
plan that offers out-of-network benefits by providers accepting Medicare.
The County deducts health insurance premiums one month in advance, so any plan,
dependent, or rate change will be reflected on the June 14, 2019 paycheck direct deposit or June 1,
2019 pension direct deposit for retirees. Learn more at www.co.kent.de.us

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are year-to-year accounts that allow you to set aside money from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis to pay for medical and child/elder care expenses. That means you do not have to pay federal, and in most cases, state income tax, or FICA taxes on those dollars…which means you have more money in your pocket! Most people can save at least 25% on each dollar that is set aside, for expenses they are paying for anyway!
The FSA is easy to manage, and you can take advantage of the spending accounts by following three easy steps:
1) Review your expenses for medical and/or child/elder care for the previous year. Make note of what you spend on regular, planned expenses, and what expenses you may incur in the coming year.
2) Sign up for your FSA during your employer's annual open enrollment period.
3) Submit claims to ASIFlex for reimbursement of your expenses.
You can submit claims via the ASIFlex Mobile App, online at asiflex.com; or otherwise by fax or mail.
Estimating your plan year election amount is easy! ASIFlex offers the following tips and tools to help!
First, take a look at your prior year’s expenses, as this is a good indicator of what you might anticipate for next year.
Then make a list of your predictable or recurring expenses that you know you have, such as copays, annual deductible, monthly prescriptions, dental or vision expenses, over-the-counter health care products or ongoing child care costs.
Next, think about any other anticipated expenses you plan to incur next year, such as eyeglasses or orthodontia.
You can review ASIFlex’s Eligible Expense list as a reference of the hundreds of eligible expenses.
Then you can use the ASIFlex expense estimator and the tax savings calculator to see your savings!
Remember that the more you set aside, the more you save, so it is to your advantage to do a thorough review of your expenses.

1.800.659.3035 www.asiflex.com [email protected]
There are two types of accounts
The Health Care FSA provides you an opportunity to use pre- tax dollars to pay for out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision and hearing expenses for you, your spouse and any of your dependents (even if they are on a different insurance plan). There are hundreds of eligible expenses, including copays, deductibles, prescription drugs and many more. Check the Eligible Expense list at asiflex.com for more information.
Check your employer plan for the amount that you can contribute to the Health Care FSA each year. You can use these dollars for eligible expenses you incur throughout the year. And, your full plan year election is available to you on the first day of your plan year!
The Dependent Care FSA is for qualifying work-related child care expenses, but you can also use DC FSA money to pay for work-related expenses for older tax dependents who are not capable of self-care. Eligible expenses include daycare, summer day camps (overnight camps are NOT eligible), babysitting, before and after school care, nursery school and pre-kindergarten expenses that are primarily for the protection and well-being of the dependent.
You can set aside up to $5,000 per household per calendar year; or $2,500 if married and filing separate income tax returns. You can be reimbursed up to the cash balance in your account.
Don't forget…
Remember that your FSA election is fixed once your employer’s open enrollment period has closed, so please take your time when determining your annual election. The FSA accounts are year-to- year commitments, and you will want to spend all funds you have set aside each year.
Unused funds are forfeited. But don’t let this keep you from participating! You can avoid forfeitures by planning carefully and setting aside money only for predictable and recurring expenses that you know you will have. So, take your time and make an informed decision regarding how much to set aside in the Health Care and/or Dependent Care FSA.
Remember, the FSA helps you avoid paying taxes which means you have more spendable income in your pocket! If you have questions, just contact ASIFlex! We are here to help!

The ASIFlex Card
Things to Know
WWW.ASIFLEX.COM
Know your balance! Check your account balance online or via the mobile app.
Manage your account and read messages
sent to you and posted to your secure message center.
Each time you use the card, ask the provider for an itemized statement of service.
Use of the Card is Not Paperless That’s right! Use of the debit card is not paperless. In many cases, IRS regulations
require you to submit back-up documentation to substantiate certain transactions.
Following are some tips regarding use of the card.
How to Use the Card Co-Pays – The card works great for flat-dollar prescription or office visit co-pays under
your employer plan. Keep your prescription pharmacy receipts, and ask for an itemized
receipt for office visit co-pays (be sure it says office visit co-pay). You will be asked to
submit documentation for percentage co-pay and coinsurance amounts.
Mail-Order Prescriptions –Simply provide the card number and expiration date to the
pharmacy benefit manager once, and you’re set! Keep your itemized mail order statement.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Health Care Products – You can purchase many OTC products
using the card provided the merchant maintains an inventory system to identify FSA-
eligible products. Keep the merchant itemized receipt.
If You Have Insurance – Ask your provider to submit to insurance first. Do not use the
card at the time of service. After receiving the insurance plan Explanation of Benefits
(EOB) or an itemized bill from the provider, you can use your card to pay the balance
provided you do this within the plan year. Keep a copy of the EOB or provider itemized
statement of service as you will be asked to provide this information.
If You Do Not Have Insurance – Present your card for payment and ask the provider for
an itemized statement of service as you will be asked to submit this information. This
itemized statement must include the provider name/address, patient name, date of service,
description of the service/product, and the dollar amount owed.
Your Responsibility When Using the Card
Keep Documentation – Always ask for and keep copies of all itemized
statements of service (not the credit card receipt) each time you use
the card. Health care providers do not automatically provide this, so it
is your responsibility to ask for it. IRS regulations require you to
provide this information for many expenses including hospital, lab,
physician, dental and vision expenses.
Use an envelope or file to store your itemized statements and EOBs.
ASIFlex will notify you if this documentation is needed. If you do not
provide the requested information, the IRS requires that the card be
deactivated and you may have to pay the outstanding amount back to
the plan.
You Must Comply with IRS Regulations – Use of the card is regulated by the IRS. You
must use the card only for qualifying expenses, and you must submit back-up
documentation when requested to do so.
Other Claim Options
If you don’t like using the card, you have several ways to submit claims. The choice is yours and you don’t have to choose just one!

Otherwise, snap or scan a picture of the EOB and submit a claim via mobile app or online.

3. Submit online, via mobile app, toll-free fax or mail as soon as possible.
Reasons the Card May Not Work Insufficient Funds – If you attempt to use the card for an amount that exceeds your

Protect your family The people you love and support could face financial challenges if you were no longer around. Life insurance provides your loved ones with money they can use for household expenses, tuition, mortgage payments and more.
How it works Your employer is offering you and your coworkers this coverage as a group, at a group rate. You are responsible for paying all or a portion of the cost. Choose the benefit that best meets your needs and your budget.
Benefits
For you You can choose One Half Times, One Times, Two Times or Three Times your basic annual earnings, not to exceed $300,000—with no medical questions asked up to the Guaranteed Issue amount of $150,000.
The benefit amount is reduced to 50% at age 70.
Your coverage ends at termination of employment or retirement.
For your spouse
If you elect coverage for yourself, you can choose from $10,000 to $50,000—in increments of $10,000 —with no medical questions.
(The amount you select for your spouse cannot exceed 100% of your coverage amount.)
Spouse rates are based on employee age.
Coverage ends when you turn age 70.
The benefit amount may be reduced when the employee benefit amount is reduced.
For your child(ren)
If you elect coverage for yourself, you can choose $10,000—with no medical questions asked.
(The amount you select for your child(ren) cannot exceed 100% of your coverage amount.)
The benefit amount may be reduced when the employee benefit amount is reduced.
A full benefit is payable for a dependent child from birth to 26 years old.
What does life insurance mean for the Jones family? Jason and Charlotte just bought their first house and are expecting their first child. They didn’t think they could afford life insurance—and they didn’t think they needed it because they’re young and healthy.
However, Jason’s best friend from high school was recently killed in a car accident. Sadly, his wife is selling their home because she can’t afford the mortgage on her own.
Jason and Charlotte started to rethink life insurance, and were surprised to find options at work that meet their budget.
Since most people would have trouble paying living expenses after several months if their primary wage earner died,* it may be worth asking, who depends on you?

Additional considerations
If I become terminally ill
You may apply to receive a portion of your life insurance to help cover medical and living expenses. This is not long-term-care insurance. It will reduce the total amount of the life insurance payment we pay to your beneficiary(ies). Receipt of the Accelerated Benefit may be taxable and may impact your eligibility for public assistance programs.
If I become Totally Disabled
If we determine that you are Totally Disabled and cannot work, your life insurance coverage may continue at no cost. You must meet certain requirements, as detailed in the Certificate.
If I leave my employer
Depending upon state variations and your employer’s plan, you may have an option to continue group coverage when your employment terminates. Your employer can advise you about your options.
If I’ve had a life change
You may be able to adjust your coverage as your needs change (e.g., you get married or have a baby). Certain changes require you to answer health questions. Ask your employer for details.
Life FAQ Do I have to answer health questions to enroll? You will be required to answer health questions if (1) you do not elect coverage when it’s first available to you and you want to elect at a later date; (2) you request an amount higher than the Guaranteed Issue amount noted in the table, if offered; or (3) you want to increase coverage at a later date. You will need to fill out and submit our Evidence of Insurability application which must be approved by Sun Life before the coverage takes effect.
How is my benefit claim filed and paid? You or your beneficiary(ies) and your employer will complete the appropriate claims forms and submit these to Sun Life. Our claims examiners review the claim and gather additional information if necessary. We will notify you or your beneficiaries when the decision is made. If your death claim is approved, beneficiaries may elect to receive a lump sum payment or to have the benefit paid into an account where the funds accumulate interest and can be withdrawn at any time. (State restrictions apply and options may vary by state.)

Accidental Death and Dismemberment FAQ
If I do not elect coverage now, can I elect it in the future? If you do not elect coverage when you are first eligible, you will be required to wait 6 months until you are eligible to elect coverage again.
Can I take my insurance with me if I leave my employer? Depending upon state variations and your employer’s plan, you may have an option to continue group coverage when your employment terminates. Your employer can advise you about your options.
How is my benefit claim filed and paid? In the event of your accidental death or injury, you or your beneficiary(ies) and your employer will complete
the appropriate claims forms and submit these to Sun Life. Our claims examiners review the claim and gather additional information if necessary. We will notify you or your beneficiaries when the decision is made. If your death claim is approved, beneficiaries may elect to receive a lump sum payment or to have the benefit paid into an account where the funds accumulate interest and can be withdrawn at any time. (State restrictions apply, and options may vary by state.) If your AD&D claim for an accidental injury is approved, the benefit amount will be paid directly to you.
