ACTIVECARE 1-HD GENERIC PREVENTIVE DRUG COVERAGE
Certain generic preventive drugs are available at no cost to participants. The deductible and coinsurance do
not apply to these generic medications. Particular generic medications for coronary artery disease,
diabetes, hypertension, antidepressants, osteoporosis and more are available at no cost to members
on 1-HD. Visit www.trsactivecareaetna.com/coverage for a complete list. Please note this list may change
from time to time based upon the interpretation of the Internal Revenue Service regulations.
ACTIVECARE 1-HD OUT OF POCKET MAXIMUM

maximum only includes covered expenses incurred by that individual. After each covered person meets his or
her individual out-of-pocket maximum, the plan pays 100 percent of the benefits for that person.

Workers Compensation
Employee Notice of Alliance Requirements
IMPORTANT CONTACT INFORMATION
To locate a provider, go to www.pswca.org.
To contact your adjuster at the TASB Risk Management Fund, visit www.tasbrmf.org or call (800) 482-7276.
INFORMATION, INSTRUCTIONS, RIGHTS, AND OBLIGATIONS
If you are injured at work, tell your supervisor or employer immediately. The information in this notice will help you to seek medical
treatment for your injury. Your employer will also help with any questions about how to get treatment. You may also contact your
adjuster at the TASB Risk Management Fund (the Fund) for any questions about treatment for a work related injury. The Fund is
your employer’s workers’ compensation coverage provider and they are working with your employer to ensure you receive timely
and appropriate health care. The goal is to return you to work as soon as it is safe to do so.
HOW DO I CHOOSE A TREATING DOCTOR?
If you are hurt at work and you live in the Alliance service area, you are required to choose a treating doctor from the provider
list. This is required for you to receive coverage of healthcare costs for your work related injury. A provider listing is available
through the Alliance website at www.pswca.org and a link to that site is also contained on the Fund’s website at www.tasbrmf.org.
It identifies providers who are taking new patients.
HOW DO I CHANGE TREATING DOCTORS?
Within the first 60 days of beginning treatment, if you become dissatisfied with your first choice of a treating doctor, you can select
an alternate treating doctor from the list of Alliance treating doctors in your service area. The Fund will not deny a choice of an
alternate treating doctor. However, before you can change treating doctors a second time, you must obtain permission
from your adjuster.
WHO PAYS FOR THE HEALTHCARE?
Alliance providers have agreed to seek payment from the Fund for your health care. They should not request payment from you.
If you obtain health care from a doctor who is not in the Alliance without prior approval from your adjuster, you may have to pay
for the cost of that care and your income benefits may be disputed. You may treat with medical providers that are not contracted
with the Alliance only if one of the following situations occurs:
- Emergencies: You should go to the nearest hospital or emergency care facility.
- You do not live within an Alliance service area.
- Your treating doctor refers you to a provider or facility outside of the Alliance. This referral must be approved by your
adjuster.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE INJURED ON THE JOB
If you are injured while on the job, tell your employer as soon as possible. A list of Alliance treating doctors in your service area
may be available from your employer. A complete list of Alliance treating doctors is also available online at www.pswca.org. Or,
you may contact us directly at the following address and/or toll-free telephone number:
TASB Risk Management Fund
P.O. Box 2010
Austin, TX 78768
(800) 482-7276
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY…
If you are hurt at work and it is a life threatening emergency, you should go to the nearest emergency room. If you are injured at
work after normal business hours or while working outside your service area, you should go to the nearest care facility. After you
receive emergency care, you may need ongoing care. You will need to select a treating doctor from the Alliance provider list. This
list is available online at www.pswca.org. If you do not have internet access call (800) 482-7276 or contact your employer for a
list. The doctor you choose will oversee the care you receive for your work related injury. Except for emergency care you must
obtain all health care and specialist referrals through your treating doctor.
NON-EMERGENCY CARE…
Report your injury to your employer as soon as you can. Select a treating doctor from the Alliance provider list. This list is available
online at www.pswca.org. If you do not have internet access, call (800) 482-7276 or contact your employer for a list.

…the solution to your benefit
problems
Benefit Connection is a low-cost program designed to help you pay for covered out-of-pocket
expenses you may incur while you are either confined in a hospital or being treated as an
out-patient for an injury or an illness.
Please note this plan cannot be used in conjunction with a Health Savings Account (HSA).
Basic Plan Benefits offered to employees of HEB ISD
Hospital Confinement Benefit* - This benefit is designed to offset the cost you incur as an in-patient in the
hospital when your primary comprehensive major medical policy applies such expenses to your deductible or
coinsurance maximum, up to the $1,500 calendar year maximum per insured person.
Out-Patient Benefit* - This benefit offsets the cost you incur for out-patient treatment when your primary
major medical policy applies such expenses to your deductible or coinsurance maximum, up to the $1,500
benefit limit, and up to a maximum of three out-patient occurrences per family per calendar year. An
“occurrence” is the treatment, or the series of treatments, for a specific injury or illness within a calendar
year. Expenses related to physician office visits are not included in this benefit. Covered expenses include:
•
•
•
•
•
Surgery in an Out-Patient Facility or a Physician’s Office
Emergency Room visits
Diagnostic testing, MRI’s, CT scans, Lab & X-ray at a diagnostic or hospital out-patient facility or at a
Physician’s office if the cost is not included in the global office visit fee and is not part of
wellness/preventive care
Physical therapy
Chiropractic care
*For expenses to be eligible under this plan they must be medically necessary for the treatment of an injury or illness. Expenses
not covered by your group major medical plan are not covered.
How to File a Claim
When you enroll in the Benefit Connection plan, you will receive an ID card, along with specific instructions on how
to file a claim. This form outlines the procedures you should follow to obtain a claim form, what you need to file a
claim, and where you should send your claim. Simply stated, you will need to submit a completed claim form, itemized
bills (NOT balance due statements), and EOB’s that correspond to the itemized bills.
Claims may be filed at any time, but must be filed no longer than 12 months from the date of service in order to be
eligible for coverage.

This is a summary of policy exclusions. The policy contains other, more specific, exclusions and limitations not fully
explained in this benefit summary.
•
•
Plan benefits are not payable for a condition for which the claimant is eligible for benefits under worker’s
compensation or a similar law; or for a condition attributed to employment or military service. Coverage is not
available for dental conditions caused by an act of war, self-inflicted injury, involvement in an illegal occupation;
attempt to commit a felony, or active participation in a riot.
If benefits for orthodontia are included, the plan does not cover any treatment plan started before coverage begins
or during the benefit waiting period unless the member was receiving orthodontia benefits from this employer’s
previous group dental policy. In that case, Lincoln Financial will continue orthodontia benefits until the combined
benefit paid by the two policies is equal to this policy’s lifetime orthodontia.

PPO Dental M a x R e w a r d s Program
M ax im ize your Lincoln DentalConnect plan benefits
The MaxRewards maximum rollover feature allows covered members to roll over a portion of their
unused annual maximum into a MaxRewards Account Balance. This flexibility lets members save for
more expensive dental treatment down the road.
How the M axR ew ards feature w orks
To qualify for a rollover, a covered member must meet the following qualifications during the year:
• Submit at least one claim for covered services
• Keep benefit payments during the year below the threshold amount
If eligible, the rollover amount is moved into the member’s MaxRewards Account Balance. The member
can use the MaxRewards Account for future covered services when the plan’s annual maximum is
exhausted.
M axR ew ards benefits
Promotes better oral health by requiring an annual treatment to be eligible for rollovers
Empowers members to manage benefit dollars they would lose under a traditional plan
Allows members to build up their MaxRewards Account Balance in order to cover large claims
Rewards long-term members by allowing the rollover account to accumulate over time
Includes a bonus amount when members seek care from in-network providers, with the
option to remove the in-network bonus amount

YEAR 1 Member uses $300 toward the $1,000 annual maximum and sees an out-of-network dentist at least once.
• The $300 benefit is less than the $600 threshold, so the member is eligible for a rollover.
• Since the member saw an out-of-network dentist at least once, the out-of-network rollover amount of $250 is
deposited into the MaxRewards Account Balance.
YEAR 2 Member has $1,000 annual maximum and $250 in her MaxRewards Account Balance, and uses zero dollars
toward the annual maximum (she didn’t see the dentist).
• The plan design requires at least one claim in the calendar year for any rollover amount to be applied.
• Since no claims were incurred this year, the plan applies no rollover amount.
• The member still has $250 in her MaxRewards Account Balance from the prior year rollover.
YEAR 3 Member has $1,000 annual maximum and $250 in her MaxRewards Account Balance, and incurs $1,100 in
claims from an in-network dentist.
• The $1,100 claim cost is above the $1,000 maximum, so $100 of the MaxRewards Account Balance is applied to cover
the remaining cost.
• Since the annual claim costs are above the $600 threshold, the claimant is not eligible for a rollover benefit.
• $150 remains in the member’s MaxRewards Account Balance for future use.

What if you weren’t getting a paycheck?
Chances are work plays an important role in your life. So what if a disabling illness or injury kept
you from the workplace? How long would your savings hold out?
Certainly, there’s a lot depending on your paycheck. That’s why HEB ISD has teamed up with
The Standard to offer disability income protection insurance. Should a disability prevent you from
working and earning a living, this insurance can help you meet your expenses.
What is Disability Income?
It replaces a portion of your income when you are sick or injured and cannot work.
1st Step: Select a Benefit Amount –
You may purchase any monthly benefit amount in $100 increments up to 2/3rds of your monthly
earnings.
2nd Step: Choose a Benefit Waiting Period that meets your needs –
Benefit waiting period is the period of time that you must be continuously disabled before benefits
become payable. Benefits are N OT payable during the benefit w aiting period. Options:
7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 180 days
First Day Hospital Benefit:
With this benefit, if an insured employee is admitted as a hospital inpatient for at least four hours
during the Benefit Waiting Period, the Benefit Waiting Period will be satisfied. Benefits become
payable on the date of the hospitalization. This feature is included only on plans w ith a
Benefit W aiting P eriod of 30 days or less.
Preexisting Condition Exclusion:
Any condition you had 90 days prior to the effective date of your insurance will be considered
preexisting. The exclusion period is 12 months.
Preexisting Condition Waiver:
For the first 45 days of disability, The Standard will pay full benefits even if you have a preexisting
condition.

amount of time as defined by the policy. Check with your tax advisor or attorney
before exercising this option.

the option to convert all or part of the amount of coverage in force to an individual
life policy on the date of termination without Evidence of Insurability. Conversion

For timely entrants enrolled within 31 days of becoming eligible, the Guarantee

Why do you need legal coverage?
Never have to worry if it’s worth calling an attorney again.
You never know when a legal matter may affect you or your family, and there are times in life when it is a
good idea to consult an attorney. Legal issues are complicated and disorienting. As many as 7 out of 10 of
people you know will have the need for an attorney this year, according to the American Bar Association.
This means that each year, only 30% of us will be lucky enough not to deal with the stress of a legal issue.
And without the right help, legal matters are tough. Without legal benefits, issues can average anywhere
from $500.00 to $7,000.00 per issue. The LegalGUARD Plan helps protect you, your family and your
savings from unexpected legal costs for many issues.
We understand that when you have a legal need, it is the most important event in your life at that moment.
We also know that finding the right attorney on your own can be stressful and dominate much of your time
and attention. Protect yourself and your family with the great value of the LegalGUARD Plan.
We have been putting people in touch with quality local attorneys and helping them solve problems since
1971. Our processes are designed to help you save time and to make things less stressful. Also, the
providers in our network must meet the most rigorous credentials standards in the market today.
How does the plan work?
The right help when you need it the most.
Finding the right type of attorney when a need arises can be one of the more stressful tasks when dealing
with a legal matter. The right help is essential. There are many types of attorneys depending upon what
type of issue someone may be facing. We help with this first step. We use our experience and relationships
with our network providers to match you to the right type of attorney you need in the right location, with
availability to set up a consultation with you. We see this step as a way to save you time, so you can get
back to your busy schedule of work, kids or whatever may be just as important. This step alone can save
you hours. If you use an In Network attorney, you don’t have to hassle with forms. LegalEASE works
directly with the provider to provide your benefits.
We also always follow up to ensure everything is going well and to see how else we can be of assistance.
We believe that quality service is essential, especially in a world today where quality service can be scarce.
So if you have a legal, financial, or identity need, to start getting the help you need, just give us a call. It’s
that easy. We will guide you through the steps and be right with you the entire way.

Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
HSA Bank
800-357-6246
www.hsabank.com
What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?
An HSA, or health savings account, is a unique tax-advantaged account that you can use to pay for
current or future healthcare expenses. With an HSA, you’ll have:
• A tax-advantaged savings account that you use to pay for eligible medical expenses as well as
deductibles, co-insurance, prescriptions, vision and dental care.
• Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There’s no “use or lose it” penalty.
• Potential to build more savings through investing. You can choose from a variety of HSA selfdirected investment options with no minimum balance required.
• Additional retirement savings. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without
penalty.
• Money in your account is accessible as it is contributed. You do not have access upfront to all
of the money you are supposed to contribute to the account for the entire year like a Flexible
Spending Account.
Eligibility
•
•
•
•
•
•
To be eligible for a Health Savings Account, you must be covered by a HSA-qualified High
Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The plan that qualifies as a HDHP is TRS Active Care
Plan 1-HD.
You cannot be enrolled in the GAP Plan
You cannot be enrolled in Medicare
You cannot be covered by other health insurance that is not a HDHP
You cannot be considered a dependent on someone else’s tax return
You cannot have a Flexible Spending Account

Eligible Medical Expenses
You can use your HSA to pay for a wide range of eligible medical expenses for yourself, your spouse or
tax dependents. HSA funds can be used to reimburse yourself for past medical expenses if the expense
was incurred after your HSA was established. While you do not need to submit any receipts to HSA
Bank, it is a good idea to save your bills and receipts for tax purposes.
An eligible medical expense is an expense that pays for healthcare services, equipment or medications
as described in IRS Publication 502*. In general, your HSA can be used for:
• Expenses applied to your health plan deductible
• Dental care services
• Vision care services
• Prescription drugs and medicines
• Certain medical equipment

HSA Bank
Welcomes You!
Your employer has presented you with a
great opportunity by offering you a Health
Savings Account (HSA) through HSA Bank.
We’d like to introduce ourselves and show
you why HSA Bank is a trusted financial
healthcare partner.
What is an HSA?
HSAs work together with HSA-compatible health plans. The health plan is used to cover serious illness or injury, while the HSA is used
for current or future expenses that are not paid by the health plan. Try our online calculating tools located at
www.hsabank.com/calculators, to learn more about HSAs and if one is right for you.
What are the advantages of an HSA?
• Funds Roll Over Annually
There is no “use it or lose it” philosophy. If you don’t use it, save it for next year. Or better yet, for retirement.
• Tax Advantages*
Contributions can be made pre-tax or post-tax, distributions for eligible expenses are tax-free and earnings grow
tax-deferred.
• You Own the Account
Even if your HSA-compatible coverage ends, you can still use your HSA funds tax-free for eligible medical expenses.
• Long-term Investment Opportunities**
We offer two investment platforms (www.hsabank.com/investments) that give you a wide variety of stocks, bonds and
mutual funds to choose from.
• You’re in Charge
You choose when to use your HSA or pay out-of-pocket.
HSA Bank is here for you.
HSA Bank is here for you even before you sign up with us. Our Client Assistance Center representatives are HSA experts and will help
show you the way to a healthy future. They provide live assistance Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 9 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., CT,

HSA Bank offers multiple options for accessing your funds.
Health Benefits Debit Card – Your HSA Bank debit card from Visa® provides access to your HSA funds at point-of-sale with
signature or PIN and at ATMs for withdrawals. Transaction fees may apply when used with a PIN*.
Checks – A book of 50 checks can be ordered upon request for an additional fee*. You can use these checks to pay providers or
reimburse yourself for expenses already incurred.
Online Transfers – On HSA Bank’s member website, you can reimburse yourself for out-of-pocket expenses by making a one-time
or reoccurring online transfer from your HSA to your personal checking or savings account.
Online Bill Pay – Use this feature to pay medical providers directly from your HSA.
*For applicable fees, see your HSA Bank Interest and Fee Schedule.
HSA Bank’s Health Benefits Debit Card can be used for point-of-sale transactions in two ways, signature or PIN. For signature, swipe
card, press credit on the keypad, and sign the receipt. To pay using a PIN (fee per PIN transaction may apply*), swipe your card,
select debit on the keypad, and enter your PIN. To withdraw HSA funds from an ATM (fee per ATM withdrawal may apply*), be sure
to select the “checking” option (not savings) when asked the type of account you are withdrawing from. HSA Bank limits pointof-sale debit card transactions to medical merchants. As a mechanism for fraud protection, HSA Bank has set limits on debit card
transactions. You can withdraw $2,000 per day when a signature is used and $300 per day for PIN-based transactions. Debit card
transactions are also limited to your current daily balance. You are able to make five debit card transactions per day. Any additional
transactions will be denied.

Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account

Dependent Care
Qualifications
FSA eligibility criteria for Dependent Care expenses
A) The dependent care expenses must be work related. The care must be necessary for the employee and
the employee’s spouse to work, to look for work, or to attend school full-time, or if they are physically
unable to care for their children.
B) The dependent care expenses provided during a calendar year cannot exceed $5,000. In the case of a
separate return by a married individual, the limit is $2,500. This amount may be less if the employee’s
earned income or spouse’s earned income is less than $5,000.
The dependent care expenses must be for the care of one or more qualifying persons. A
qualifying person is one of the following:
A) A dependent who was under age 13 when the care was provided and for whom an exemption can be
claimed.
B) A spouse who was physically or mentally not able to care for himself or herself, and lived with you for more
than half the year.
C) A dependent who was physically or mentally not able to care for himself or herself and for whom an
exemption can be claimed, and lived with you for more than half the year.
To receive the dependent care benefit, one must follow these procedures:
A) All persons and organizations that provide dependent care for a qualified person must be identified. This
information is requested on Form 2441. The name, address, and taxpayer identification number of the
provider must be included. Under certain circumstances, the taxpayer identification number will be a social
security number.
B) If the care is being provided by a center that cares for more than six persons, the center must comply with
all state and local regulations.
C) Payments made to relatives who are not dependents can be included. However, do not include amounts paid
to a dependent for whom you can claim an exemption or for your child who is under age 19 at the end of the
year, regardless of whether he or she is your dependent.
D) Use Form W-10 to request the required information from the care provider.

58
Special rules apply to children of divorced or separated parents:
Even if you cannot claim your child as a dependent, he or she is treated as your qualifying person if all of
the following are true:
•
•
The child was under age 13 or was not physically or mentally able to care for himself or herself.
One or both parents provided more than half of the child’s support for the year and are divorced,
legally separated, or lived apart at all times during the last 6 months of the calendar year.
One or both parents had custody of the child for more than half of the year.
• You were the child’s custodial parent. The custodial parent is the parent having custody for the
greater portion of the calendar year. If the child was with both parents for an equal number of
nights, the parent with the higher adjusted gross income is the custodial parent.
A non-custodial parent that is entitled to claim the child as a dependent on their tax return may not treat
the child as a qualifying individual for the dependent care benefit even when that parent is financially
responsible for providing the care. Only one parent (the custodial parent) may qualify for the dependent
care benefit for a taxable year. The regulations do not provide any relief for a non-custodial parent that
incurs dependent care expenses for the portion of the year in which they have custody of the child to
enable the non-custodial parent to work.
•
Eligible and Ineligible Expenses for FSA Dependent Care (partial list):
Eligible Expenses (must be employment related)
• FICA/FUTA taxes of dependent care provider
• Nanny expenses attributed to dependent care
• Nursery school (preschool)

403(b) plan are made before income tax is
paid an allowed to grow tax-deferred until
the money is taxed as income when
withdrawn from the plan. 403(b) plans are
also referred to as tax-sheltered annuity.
What is a 457?
The 457 plan is a type of deferredcompensation retirement plan that is
available for governmental employers. The
employer provides the plan and the
employee defers compensation into it on a
pre-tax basis. For the most part the plan
operates similarly to a 401(k) or 403(b)
plan. The key difference is that there is no
penalty for withdrawal before the age of
59½ (but subject to income tax).

457(b)
The 457(b) Retirement Savings Plan is a voluntary savings program designed to allow
employees to defer a portion of their compensation through payroll deductions. These deferrals are
made on a pre-tax basis and allow employees the opportunity to save for retirement. Roth accounts
are also available, at the option of the District. The 457(b) Retirement Savings Plan is an attractive
alternative to traditional 403(b) “tax sheltered annuity” programs.
The Retirement Savings Plan is set up under Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
plan is offered through the ESC Region 10 457 Cooperative and Master Plan by means of an
interlocal agreement with each participating District. The Plan works for the most part like a 401(k) plan.
•
•
Employees can enroll in the plan online or with forms without the need to meet with a
sales person.
Educational meetings are offered to the District by salaried representatives of the
companies providing the plan services. No commissions are paid to any individuals or
companies from the plan.
A 457(b) plan has the same basic features and advantages of 403(b) and 401(k) plans. However,
funds paid out of a 457(b) plan are not subject to an early withdrawal excise tax (unlike 403(b), IRAs
or 401(k) plans).
