457(b) – Pre-tax contributions; taxes are paid on withdrawals. Regardless of age, you may withdraw when you leave youremployer, or in case of death, disability or unforeseeable emergency. Supporting documentation is required and you may be subject to penalties.
Contact a TSA Agent if you are interested in opening a TSA. If you do not have a TSA Agent, please contact Fernando Gar-cia, Retirement Plan Representative from SchoolsFirst FCU at 800-462-8328, ext. 4116.
To ensure that there’s no delay in processing your TSA (i.e. new set-up, change in amount or provider, termination, etc.), please remind your TSA Agent that Salary Reduction Agreements must be sent to SchoolsFirst FCU at the address below for proper processing.

The Los Angeles County Office of Education charges a fee for returned contributions due to any errors in TSA enrollments. Thisfee will be charged to the employee at the current rate of $25 per returned contribution (fee subject to change).
Section 125 Cafeteria Plan P&A Group is the District’s Third Party Administrator for the Section 125 Cafeteria Plan.
The Section 125 Cafeteria Plan, also known as a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), is a pro-gram that the Federal Government allows your employer to sponsor. It enables employees to save on Federal, State, and Social Security taxes on the money they use to pay for eligible expenses. Employees and their eligible dependents can pay for health expenses, dependent care expenses, adoption expenses, and individual premiums on a pre-tax basis.
There are four types of accounts you can enroll in:
1. Medical Expense Reimbursement2. Dependent Care Assistance3. Adoption Assistance4. Individual Premium Reimbursement
Employees must estimate how much they will spend on eligible expenses over the 12 months (January 2016-December 2016). This amount is divided by ten and deducted from their paychecks on a tenthly basis (ten payroll deductions). Payroll deductions are deposited into a trust account to pay for eligible expenses. There is a $6.00 Administration Fee/Month to participate.
Enrollment does not roll forward each year. You must enroll during open enrollment each year to take advantage of the Section 125 Cafeteria Plan pre-tax deduction.
Contributions per plan year for each account Minimum Maximum
Medical Expense Reimbursement Account $150.00 $2,550.00 Dependent Care Assistance Reimbursement Account No minimum $5,000.00 Adoption Assistance Account No minimum $13,400.00 Individual Premium Reimbursement Account No minimum $10,000.00
Medical insurance premiums are automatically deducted on a pre-tax basis.
An enrollment form is not necessary and there are no fees if you are not taking advantage of other qualified expenses. However, should you decide that you would like your insurance premium to be deducted on an after-tax basis, you must contact the Benefits Department in writ-ing.
The tenthly Payroll deductions for Health Insurance premiums is calculated by dividing the annual insurance rates by a factor of 10 to determine the monthly deductions. There are no payroll deduc-tions in June & July for Classified employ-ees, and July & August for Certificated employees. If an employee terminates during those months, there may be a payment owed to the District.
Deductions will be adjusted if the employee terminates mid-year. A payment may be owed to the Dis-trict in certain circumstances.
Opt-Out ProgramAll Certificated and Classified employees who work at least 20 hours per week, qualify to participate in the Opt-Out Program. Employees who are currently covered through an outside group medical insurance may opt-out of the district medical insurance. If eligible, employees will receive an opt-out payment of up to $200.00 per month (maximum of $2,000.00 annually). Payment is fully taxa-ble and is paid through payroll.
Part-time employees eligible for pro-rated benefits may participate in the Opt-Out Program at a percentage equal to their pro-rated eligibility.
Attach the following: 1. Proof of medical coverage. (i.e. Copy of insurance card, letter from insurance carrier, etc.)2. If you are currently enrolled in the District’s medical insurance plan, a cancellation form must be
completed.
For Opt-Out benefits to continue for employees who were previously enrolled, a new enrollment form must be submitted on or before Friday, October 16, 2015.
P&A offers a Benefits MasterCard which works like a debit card. As you incur expenses, simply present your Benefits Card to the provider of the goods or services you are purchasing. Eligible expenses are automatically deducted from the trust account that is set up. If you are unable to use your Benefits Card, you can still be reimbursed for eligible expenses by submitting a claim with a copy of your receipt.
Please note: Benefits MasterCard may not have funds available until February 2016. Eligible expenses at the start of the plan year may require a claims submission for reimbursement, receipts are required.

2016 Plan Year for the Section 125 Cafeteria Plan: January 2016 through December 2016.
The “Use it or Lose it” rule under the IRS guidelines state that if you contribute dollars to areimbursement account and do not use all of the monies you deposit, you will lose any re-maining balance in the account at the end of the plan year (December 2016).
A new enrollment form must be submitted on or before October 16, 2015.
FSA Brochure—available on website: www.padmin.com.
Where do I submit my forms?
Submit forms through interoffice mail/USPS mail to: West Covina USD–Business and Fiscal Services Attn: Certificated Health Benefits -or- Classified Health Benefits, 1717 West Merced Avenue, West Covina, CA 91790. You may also submit your forms in person. Support-ing documents must be attached (i.e. marriage license, birth certificates, proof of coverage, etc.). Forms must be received by October 16, 2015. Late forms will not be accepted.
If I enroll in the Opt-Out Program, am I eligible to participate in the dental, vision, and life insurances?
The Opt-Out Program applies to medical insurance only. You are eligible to opt-out of the medical insurance and still enroll in the dental, vision, and life insurance.
If I enroll in a single medical plan, can I still add my dependents to my dental and vision insurance?
Yes. The District carries individual policies for each health insurance plan. If you enroll in a single medical plan, you can still add your dependents to your dental and vision insurance. Likewise, if you enroll in a two party or family medical plan, your dependents will not be enrolled into your dental and vision unless you submit an enrollment form to add them.
How are my tenthly payroll deductions calculated?
Tenthly payroll deductions reflect rates from January 2016– December 2016. Twelve months of health premiums less the district’s contri-bution towards your plan is then divided into ten equal payroll deductions.
If I make a health plan change during Open Enrollment, will the Tenthly Payroll Deductions on page 7-10 show what my new rates will be?
Depends. If you are making a health plan change (i.e. change in medical plan, change in dependent coverage, etc.) during Open Enroll-ment or if you experience a qualifying event which allows a change mid-year, your tenthly payroll deduction may be adjusted. Inquire with the Benefits Department.
What happens if my dependents are dropped from my plan due to overage limits? Do they have the option to continue?
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) allows enrolled dependents who experience a loss of district health cover-age to enroll and pay at the employee’s own expense for continued membership in the medical, dental, and vision insurance plans when their benefits terminate under eligibility guidelines.
If I experience a qualifying event mid-year and my dependents are dropped from my plan, will I receive a refund for the amounts that have been prepaid?
Since the annual cost of your benefits is divided into 10 payments, you may qualify for a refund if you experience a change in benefits mid-year. Once a change is made, annual costs are re-calculated and a refund will be issued to you if you have overpaid. Refunds typically take 2-3 months to process.
Why does my insurance cost more if I live in the Other Southern California Region?
Since health care costs vary throughout California, regional pricing adjusts premiums to reflect the actual cost of health care in your spe-cific region. Premiums under the CalPERS Health Program are adjusted to each specific region. If your residential zip code falls within the following areas: Fresno, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Madera, Riverside, Orange, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, or Tu-lare, you will pay the Other Southern California Region rate. To take advantage of lower premiums in the Los Angeles Area, you can re-quest to enroll using your work zip code. If you do, all covered services must be received within the Los Angeles Area, except emergency and urgent care.
When does the first tenthly deduction for 2016 start?
For Monthly Classified Employees, the first tenthly deduction will start with their December 30, 2015 payroll.
For Monthly Certificated Employees, the first tenthly deduction will start with their January 4, 2016 payroll.

A. Individual: In the illustration, the single employee earns $30,000. She uses flex Plan to pay for her health insurance copayments and deductibles. By enrolling in this plan, she is able to use pre-tax dollars to pay for her eligible expenses which reduced her taxable income for the year. By doing so, she has increased her take home pay by an additional $528.
B. Working Couple with Dependents: A working couple have decided to participate in the Section 125 Cafeteria Plan because they have health and day care expenses that they are obligated to pay for the year. They have a dual income of $72,000. This program has allowed them to deduct their monthly day care fees directly from their paycheck, pre-tax. These funds have been deposited into an account which they now use to pay for their children’s daycare. They have also used this program to pay for their children’s braces. Since they knew these expenses were definite, they benefited by enrolling into the flex Plan because it has allowed them to use pre-tax dollars to pay for their eligible expenses. Their take home pay was increased by $2,484 because their taxes were reduced.
C. Couple—One Working Spouse: With grown children, and only one spouse working, this couple has no daycare expenses. The annual salary of the working spouse is $54,000. They enroll into the flex Plan because they have dental expenses and health insurance copayments that they expect to incur throughout the next plan year. By enrolling and using pre-tax dollars to pay for these eligible expenses, they have increased their take home pay by $684.
Effective January 1, 2011, over-the-counter medicines will only be reimbursable if submitted with a doctor’s prescription. Sample eligible expenses without a doctor’s prescription include: Band aids, Elastic bandages & wraps, Birth control, First aid supplies, catheters, insulin/diabetic supplies, contact lens supplies and solutions.
