2 2014 Employee Benefits Review & Open Enrollment William Jewell College October 28 th, 2013

3 Today’s Agenda Discussion Topics Open Enrollment – October 28 th through November 15th Healthcare Reform Benefit Review Medical: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City Dental: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City FSA: Phillips Resource Network Life and Long-Term Disability: Lincoln Financial Group Voluntary Vision: EyeMed Voluntary Short-Term Disability: Aflac Good News! There are NO benefit changes for 2014!!!

4 Open Enrollment This is the time to make benefit decisions. Changes outside of Open Enrollment are only allowed if you have a Qualifying Event: Marital Status Loss of Coverage Birth of a Child Adoption Death Pre-tax Premium laws require you make your elections for the Plan year with no changes unless you have a Qualifying Event. Please notify the HR Department within 30 days of a qualifying event to make a change.

5 Health Care Reform – What does it mean for me? Beginning in January 2014, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires most individuals to obtain “minimum essential” health insurance coverage for themselves and their family members or pay a penalty, unless you qualify for an exemption. This is your opportunity to enroll in William Jewell College’s health plan to meet that requirement. Both of the health plans offered by Jewell meet the “minimum essential” coverage requirements for 2014. Therefore, employees (and their dependents) eligible for coverage through Jewell would not qualify for subsidies through the Marketplace (Exchange). The next opportunity you have to enroll in these benefits will not be until Open Enrollment next year which will take place in October of 2014. You may have an opportunity to enroll outside of the Open Enrollment period if you have a qualifying life event. Get more information on the Health Care Reform by going to www.healthcare.gov www.healthcare.gov
