\EB\STLUN\2011\Employee Open Forum pptx What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? An HSA is: A consumer-owned, tax-advantaged savings account, created to pay health care expenses It is always combined with a qualified high deductible health plan Provides the consumer an incentive (it’s your money!) to better plan your utilization of health care resources To be eligible to contribute to an HSA, you: Must be enrolled in a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) Do not have benefits from another non-qualified health plan Are not enrolled in Medicare/Medicaid benefits Are not claimed on another’s tax return

\EB\STLUN\2011\Employee Open Forum pptx Health Savings Account—How does it work? Each calendar year, you can contribute money to your HSA, subject to maximum annual contributions An eligible employee and his or her eligible covered dependents can use the money in the HSA to pay for qualified health care expenses, tax- advantaged Any money remaining in the account at the end of the calendar year rolls over into the next year; there is NO ‘use it or lose it’ penalty You keep it if you leave the University

\EB\STLUN\2011\Employee Open Forum pptx Things to know about an HSA Flexible use – consumers choose whether or when to use the account for health HSA allowable charges Tax-free contributions Tax-free growth of interest or investment earnings with your choice of investment funds/portfolios Tax-free disbursements to pay for qualified expenses, now or later Withdraw funds at any time, as long as they are for qualified expenses Withdraw funds with an HSA debit card or by writing a check Funds must be in your account before disbursements can be made

\EB\STLUN\2011\Employee Open Forum pptx Vitality Communication Toni Sullivant (25 years of service) has been one of the most active Vitality members at the University since it started last fall. She tells SLULife how she used the program to conquer life-long weight issues: “I always wanted to do something about my weight but never had the incentive or the money to join a gym. “After joining Vitality, I used the website daily to take advantage of the fitness and weight- loss programs. When I learned about the fitness subsidy, I was ecstatic! I joined Curves in January and have since lost over 30 pounds and 28 inches (at 4’10” tall!), and because my Vitality Status is Platinum, the membership fee is fully covered!” “People at the University definitely noticed me slimming down. I want to motivate—I’m a ‘Walk to Madrid’ leader, and I’ve got coworkers joining gyms and getting Fitbugs." “I’ve been asked if Vitality pays me! But really, I’m saving money, feeling better, and couldn't be happier. “I feel blessed and hope my story inspires those with weight issues to make the most of Vitality and share my success!” Do you have a success story you would like to share?
