DEPENDENT CARE FSA (DCFSA)

A Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA) is a reimbursement program that allows you to set aside pre-tax funds to help pay for qualified dependent care expenses. Most participants use this program to pay for child daycare and after-school care expenses; however, it can be used to pay for adult daycare expenses as well. It serves as an alternative to using the Dependent Care Tax Credit. Funds can only be used on a dependent child under the age of 13 or dependents who are unable to care for themselves. Unlike a Flexible Spending Account, DCFSA funds can only be used as they are deposited into your account.

Voluntary Accident Insurance
A serious injury can cost you a lot of money – not only in medical bills but in things like income from lost work hours. Accident insurance is a robust shield against the unpredictable, safeguarding you against the financial fallout of unforeseen injuries. It pays a set benefit amount based on the type of injury you have and the type of treatment you need, ensuring that whether you face minor bruises or major medical emergencies, you're covered. Here's what accident insurance typically covers:
With accident insurance in your corner, you can face life's uncertainties with confidence, knowing that you're financially protected against the unexpected. However, it's important to note that accident insurance typically excludes coverage for routine check-ups or hospitalization due to illness. Additionally, injuries sustained prior to purchasing the accident insurance plan are not covered. For a detailed breakdown of benefits and coverage, refer to the plan summary provided below.
Voluntary Critical Illness Insurance
Facing a critical illness can bring not only physical strain but also financial burdens due to medical expenses and potential loss of income. Critical illness insurance serves as a robust safety net in such challenging times, offering financial protection against the unforeseen. In the event of a critical illness diagnosis, this insurance provides a lump-sum payment to the insured individual, enabling them to cover various expenses, including medical treatments, mortgage payments, and daily living expenses. Here's what critical illness insurance typically covers:
While critical illness insurance provides invaluable protection against serious medical conditions, it's essential to note that the plan typically excludes pre-existing conditions diagnosed before the policy's effective date, as well as certain illnesses not specified in the plan. Additionally, routine check-ups and hospitalization due to non-critical illnesses are typically not covered. For a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and limitations of your specific plan, be sure to review the plan summary provided below.

Medicare eligibility is a critical aspect of healthcare planning, particularly for individuals nearing age 65 or those with qualifying disabilities. Here are the key points to keep in mind:
- **Age 65 or Qualifying Disability**: Most individuals become eligible for Medicare at age 65, while those with certain disabilities or medical conditions may qualify earlier.
- **Comprehensive Coverage**: Medicare provides coverage for hospital stays, medical services, prescription drugs, and preventive care, offering essential healthcare benefits.
- **Enrollment Periods**: It's important to understand the various enrollment periods for Medicare, including the initial enrollment period, special enrollment periods, and annual open enrollment periods for making changes to coverage.
- **Supplemental Coverage Options**: Many individuals choose to supplement their Medicare coverage with additional plans, such as Medicare Advantage (Part C) or Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap), to enhance benefits and fill gaps in coverage.
As you navigate your benefit elections, be sure to consider your Medicare eligibility and options alongside your employer-provided benefits. Understanding your Medicare coverage can help ensure comprehensive healthcare coverage that meets your needs as you transition into retirement.
