BASIC LIFE & AD&D and VOLUNTARY LIFE & AD&D COVERAGE

The City of Miami provides you with Basic & Voluntary Life/AD&D coverage through Mutual of Omaha.


Basic Life/AD&D

Employees working 30 or more hours per week are eligible for an amount equal to 1 times your annual salary, but in no event less than $10,000 or more than $120,000, coverage payable to your designated beneficiary in the event of your death. An additional accidental death & dismemberment benefit (AD&D) is payable to you in the event of a covered dismemberment or to your beneficiary if your death is the result of an accident.


Voluntary Life/AD&D

A sudden accident or death can leave you or your loved ones in a vulnerable position. Employees have the opportunity to enroll in Term Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance which will supplement lost income in the event of an accident or death. If you choose to enroll in employee coverage, this will be in addition to your employer provided Basic Life coverage.


Who's Your Beneficiary? Naming a beneficiary is a crucial part of electing life insurance. Also, don't forget to update your primary or secondary beneficiary if you experience a life event, such as a divorce or birth of a child.


Please consult your Employee Benefits Guide and review the benefit summaries for additional details.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA)

ADMINISTERED BY BMI

The Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses. By contributing to one or both of the Flexible Spending Accounts you reduce your taxable income, so you pay less in taxes — which saves you money.

CONTRIBUTIONS

The election you make during enrollment is your election for the entire plan year. You may change it only if you have a qualifying life event and the change request must be consistent with the event.

YOU MAY CONTRIBUTE AS FOLLOWS:

Health Care FSA

  • Up to $3,300 annually.
  • All benefit eligible can participate, unless you or your spouse are contributing to an HSA.
  • Reimbursements allowed for unreimbursed medical, prescription, dental, and vision expenses.

HOW THE PLAN WORKS

You must incur your eligible expenses during the plan year — July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. An expense is considered to be incurred when the service is performed, not when you are billed or pay for the service.
