SECTION 125
FLEXIBLE BENEFIT PLANS
A Summary of the Reimbursement
Account Arrangement
Thank you for electing to participate in the flexible spending portion of the Section 125 Flexible Benefit Plan being sponsored by your employer. The amounts you have elected to be set aside for your Unreimbursed Medical Expense and/or your Dependent Day Care Expense Account will be in force for the next plan year. Although Section 125 regulations permit an election change due to a qualified event, in most
cases, no election changes are permitted for the Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account
except for termination of employment by an employee.
For special rules affecting your plan,
contact your employer. Election changes for valid status changes are permitted for the Dependent
Day Care Account. Only claims incurred while you are contributing to the account(s) will be
eligible for reimbursement.

We look forward to assisting you with your Flexible Benefit Plan. Linda Reynolds Vice President Flex Account Administration HOW YOUR PLAN WORKS
Flexible spending accounts allow you to direct a part of your pay, on a pre-tax basis, into special accounts that can be used throughout the year to reimburse yourself for certain out-of-pocket medical expenses and/or dependent day care expenses. Because your money goes into your reimbursement accounts before federal and state income taxes are withheld, you pay less in taxes, and ultimately have more disposable income. There are two separate accounts: The Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account and the Dependent Day Care Expense Account. Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account (URM)
Your Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account (Health FSA) may be used to reimburse yourself for
eligible medical expenses incurred for yourself, your spouse, your eligible dependents, and/or your
adult children* who have not reached age 27 before the end of the calendar year. Your employer
establishes your maximum for each plan year.
You may only be reimbursed for expenses incurred for services rendered during the plan year, or if
applicable, during the grace period immediately after the end of your plan year. Not all employers
offer the grace period; please check with your employer to see if this applies to you. You may also
submit your claim for reimbursement on or before the run-off period ends, for claims incurred during
the plan year or grace period (if applicable). The length of the run-off period may vary so please
consult your employer for details. Refer to the back of this packet for a listing of eligible and
ineligible expenses.

*As a general rule, employees pay no FICA, federal, or state income taxes on employer or employee Health FSA
contributions. However, some state tax rules do not allow the tax-free treatment that applies under federal law and, therefore,
Health FSA benefits may need to be included in your income for state tax purposes. For more information, consult with your
tax advisor.

Dependent Day Care Expense Account (DDC)
Your Dependent Day Care Expense Account may be used to reimburse yourself for eligible dependent
day care expenses incurred to allow you (and your spouse if you are married) to work, or for your
spouse to look for work, go to school full-time, or who is incapable of self-care. Work may include
actively looking for work, yet unpaid volunteer work or volunteer work for a nominal salary does not
qualify. You may allocate up to $5,000 per tax year for reimbursement of dependent day care services
($2,500 if you are married and file a separate return).
Special Rules for Dependent Day Care Include:
 You must have income from work during the year.  You (and your spouse if you are married) must have the same principal place of abode with the dependent for more than half of the taxable year and the dependent must stay in your home at least 8 hours per day.  You must have made payments for dependent day care to someone you could not claim as a dependent, and, if the person you made payments to was your child, he or she must have been age 19 or over by the end of the tax year.  Child support payments and child care payments qualifying as alimony are not qualified  The grace period does not apply to the Dependent Day Care Expense Account.  You will have a run-off period of 90 days after the end of the plan year to submit dependent care claims incurred during the plan year for reimbursement. Eligible Dependent Day Care Expenses:
 A dependent day care center or an individual providing dependent day care must comply with
all federal, state and local regulations, if applicable.  A dependent day care center is a place that provides care for more than six persons (other than persons who live there) and receives a fee, payment or grant for providing services for any of those persons, regardless of whether the center is run for profit.  Dependent day care expenses are eligible if the care is for your dependent, which would be a qualifying child (as defined in Code Section 152(c)) under age 13 or for any other qualifying dependent (qualifying child or qualifying relative as defined in Code Section 152(c) and Code Section 152 (d), respectively) or your spouse who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care, who has the same principal place of abode as you (the taxpayer) for more than half of the taxable year and who regularly spends at least 8 hours each day in your household.  The services of a housekeeper, maid or cook are usually considered necessary to run your home if performed in connection with the care of a qualifying dependent.  The cost of getting a qualifying dependent to and from your home and the care location is not Qualifying Dependent:
Eligible dependent day care expenses are for a “qualifying individual”, which means your
“qualifying child” (as defined in Code Section 152(c)) under age 13 or for any other “qualifying
dependent” (qualifying child or qualifying relative, as defined in Code Section 152(c) and (d),
respectively), or your spouse who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care and who has the
same principal place of abode as you (the taxpayer) for more than half of the taxable year.
If you are divorced or separated and you are the custodial parent of your qualifying child, your
qualifying child qualifies if all of the following conditions are met, even though you do not claim a
dependency exemption for the child for federal income tax purposes:
 The child is your qualifying child (as defined in Code Section 152 (c)) under age 13 or is not able  The child must receive over half of the child’s support during the calendar year from the child’s  The child’s parents must be (1) divorced or legally separated under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance, (2) separated under a written separation agreement, or (3) live apart at all times during the last six months of the calendar year;  The child must be in the custody of one or both of his or her parents for more than half of the  A decree of divorce or separate maintenance or written separation agreement between the parents applicable to the year provides that the noncustodial parent shall be entitled to any deduction allowable under Code Section 151 for the child, or the custodial parent will sign a written declaration that the custodial parent will not claim the child as a dependent for the year. Earned Income Limit:
Your eligible expenses during a calendar year may not be more than your earned income for the
year, if you are single at the end of the calendar year, or the smaller of your earned income or your
spouse’s earned income for the year, if you are married at the end of the calendar year.
Dependent Care Tax Credit Alternative:
 You should be aware that you may be able to take a federal tax credit, depending on your adjusted gross income, ranging from 20% to 35% of the amount you pay for dependent day care expenses instead of participating in the Dependent Day Care Expense Reimbursement Account.  You may use up to $3,000 of dependent day care expenses to figure your credit if you have one qualifying dependent and up to $6,000 if you have two or more qualifying dependents.  The tax credit is a direct reduction of the tax you owe to the federal government, unlike the income exclusion of participating in the Dependent Day Care Expense Account. Many states also provide a state tax credit for dependent day care expenses.  You should consult with your tax advisor as to whether the tax credit may be more favorable for you than participating in the Dependent Day Care Expense Account. You may also wish to obtain IRS Publication 503 for more information about the federal tax credit. Important Tax Information for Dependent Care:
Regardless of whether you participate in the Dependent Day Care Expense Account under Section
125 or claim the dependent care tax credit on your income tax, you must provide the IRS with
the name, address and taxpayer identification number (TIN) of your dependent care
provider(s) by completing Schedule 2 of Form 1040A or Form 2441 and attaching it to
your annual income tax return.
Be sure that you follow the current instructions given by the
IRS for preparing your annual income tax return. Failure to provide this information to the IRS
could result in loss of the pre-tax exemption for your dependent care expenses.
Important Information About Your Flexible
Spending Account(s):

 You must elect to participate prior to the beginning of each plan year. There is no  No reimbursements will be made until the first account deposit of the plan
year is received from your employer.
 The amounts that you designate for reimbursement of medical expenses may not subsequently be used for reimbursement of dependent day care expenses, and vice versa.  If you are enrolled in the Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account and take a leave of absence 1. Prepay the contributions pre-tax, or 2. Continue the contributions on an after-tax basis (pre-tax contributions may continue when 3. Prorate the unpaid contributions over the remaining pay periods when you return to work. Failure to make all election contributions will result in termination of your account as of the date contributions ceased.  Your employer may have added a grace period provision to your Section 125 Flexible Benefit Plan for the Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account only. The grace period is an additional 70
days at the end of your plan year during which you can incur and/or submit medical expense
claims for reimbursement. At the end of the grace period, you will have a runoff period of an
additional 20 days during which you can submit claims for reimbursement from the immediately
preceding plan year and grace period. Not all employers offer the grace period on their
Section 125 Flexible Benefit Plan. Please check with your employer to determine if this
provision applies to you
. If your employer does not offer the grace period provision, you will
have a 90 day runoff period after the end of the plan year to submit medical expense claims for
reimbursement from the immediately preceding plan year.
 The grace period does not apply to the Dependent Day Care Expense Account. You will have a 90 day runoff period after the end of the plan year to submit dependent care claims for reimbursement from the immediately preceding plan year. If you do not file sufficient claims for reimbursement, you will forfeit
the unused amounts. This is often referred to as the “use or lose” rule.


Election Changes
Dependent day care elections are irrevocable for the period of coverage (the plan year), except for a
change in status which affects your need for day care. Examples of a change in status include marriage,
divorce or legal separation; birth or adoption of a child; loss of a spouse or child; change in residence
affecting your daycare, or change in your or your spouse’s employment status. An election change may
also be allowed due to a judgment, decree or order, or cost change. If you revoke your dependent day care
election due to a change in status, only claims incurred while you are actively participating will be eligible
for reimbursement.
In most cases, no changes are permitted for the Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account for any
reason except for termination of employment.
Contact your employer for special rules affecting your
plan.
Options at Employment Termination:
Upon termination of employment an employee may elect to discontinue participation in the Unreimubrsed Medical Expense Account or to continue the payment, if eligible, either by pre-taxing the remaining contributions for the plan year from W-2 taxable income or paying for them on an after-tax basis (COBRA) through the end of the plan year. If you elect to continue all remaining contribution on an after-tax basis, the coverage under the Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account will continue until the premium ceases and expenses incurred during the period of coverage (including grace period) will be reimbursed. If you do not elect to continue the payments on an after-tax basis, only expenses incurred during the period
of coverage will be reimbursed (grace period provision will not apply). Coverage under the
Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account ceases when the payments cease.

Once the first deposit is received, claims are processed within an average of 5-7 business days from the
received date. If you fax your claim, you will save on mail time. You can also sign up to have your
reimbursement deposited directly into your checking account.
Q: How often do I need to submit my claims?
You may submit your claims as often as is convenient for you. Because of the increased volume of claims
submitted at the end of the calendar year, the processing time may be longer than during the rest of the
year. We would suggest submitting claims all throughout the plan year to avoid delays.

Q: What paperwork is required for an unreimbursed medical claim?
We need a professional receipt or an itemized statement from the medical provider of service that includes:
1. Original date of service, 2. Type of service rendered, 3. Charge for the service, and 4. Provider of


Effective January 1, 2011, you must provide a medical practitioner’s prescription in order to be
reimbursed for over-the-counter drugs or medicines. Please refer to the eligible expense chart located at
the back of this booklet for additional information.

Some expenses require a doctor’s statement to justify the expense. When a doctor’s statement is required,
it should be on the doctor’s letterhead (or prescription pad) and should state that the treatment or
expense is necessary to treat the specified medical condition. Please refer to the eligible expense chart
located at the back of this booklet for additional information.

Q: How can I find out if you received my fax?
We receive a very large volume of faxes daily. They are tracked in our system by the date received. You can
include your e-mail address on your election form or reimbursement voucher. Once your e-mail address
has been entered into our system, you will receive notifications when your claim is received, when it has
been processed, and of a direct deposit.

Q: The run-off period for my plan will end very soon. Does my claim have to be
in your office by the last day of the run-off period, or just postmarked by this
date?
Claims must be received in our office on or before the last day of the run-off period. American Fidelity will
not
honor claims received after the run-off ends.

Q: How do I get reimbursed for my mileage?
The cost for mileage which is primarily for medical treatment may be reimbursed through the
Unreimbursed Medical Expense Account by either submitting a Medical Travel Log, or by submitting all of
the required information listed on the Medical Travel Log, with your voucher. This would include the
number of miles traveled, reason for treatment, who the treatment was for, where the facility was located,
and the dollar amount that is being claimed. The Medical Travel Log is located on our web site.

Q: How do I claim over-the-counter expenses?
Effective January 1, 2011, you will be required to submit a medical practitioner’s prescription, along with a
receipt and completed voucher, in order to be reimbursed for over-the-counter drugs and medicines
purchased on or after this date. If the item is not a drug or medicine, but is considered a dual-purpose item,
then you will need to submit a doctor’s statement explaining the need for the item in order to be reimbursed.
Please refer to the eligible expense chart located at the back of this booklet for additional information.

Q: What paperwork is required for a dependent day care claim?
You will need to submit the Dependent Day Care Voucher/Acknowledgment form. If you are only claiming daycare expenses, you can use the combination form. If you are claiming both medical expenses and daycare expenses at the same time, you will need to submit the Expense Reimbursement Voucher and the Dependent Day Care Provider Acknowledgment Form. The form must include the tax ID or individual social security number of the provider. These forms can be located on the web site. Q: Can I cancel my Dependent Day Care Expense Account?
The only way the Dependent Day Care Expense Account may be cancelled is if you have a change in status
that affects your need for the benefit. Otherwise, the plan will remain in force until the end of the plan year. Q: Why do I receive only partial reimbursements for my dependent
day care?
Dependent day care reimbursements are paid up to the amount available in the account. If a contribution
is posted and there is a pended amount (claims in excess of deposits) then we will automatically pay on
the pended amount. As additional claims are received, we will continue to send reimbursements up to the
amount that has accumulated in the account.


DIRECT DEPOSIT
Have you signed up to have your flexible spending account reimbursement deposited directly into your checking account? * Direct deposit eliminates the possibility of your check being lost or delayed in the mail! * Direct deposit eliminates that trip to the bank to deposit your reimbursement check! Each time a deposit is made to your account, you will be mailed an Explanation of Benefits that shows the deposit made as well as a summary of your account. If you have provided us with your e-mail address, this notification will be e-mailed to you. This will let you keep track of your account just as you always have.
How do you get started on Direct Deposit?

Just complete the Authorization Agreement for Automatic Deposit that you will find on the web site and mail or fax it back to us! It will take approximately two weeks from the date that we receive the authorization for direct deposits to begin. Until that time, you will receive a check for reimbursements. How do you make a change?
If you change banks or account numbers, simply complete a new authorization agreement. We will stop your deposits as soon as we receive the new authorization. It will take approximately two weeks for deposits to begin going to your new account. During this time, you will receive a check for any reimbursements made to you. How long will this authorization remain in effect?
This authorization will remain in effect until you send us written notification to terminate it. If you elect to participate in the reimbursement account for the next plan year, your authorization will carry over. If you elect not to participate in the reimbursement accounts for the next plan year, no deposits will be made to your account following the run-off period. We hope that you will decide to take advantage of this convenient service! If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-325-0654. What Expenses Are Eligible for Reimbursement?
