HSA (HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS)
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-free savings account is owned by you, is 100% vested from day one, and let’s you build up savings for future needs. The funds may be used to pay for qualifying healthcare expenses not covered by insurance or any other plan for yourself, your spouse, or tax dependents. You decide how much you would like to contribute, when and how to spend the money on eligible expenses, and how to invest the balance.
2022 IRS Contribution Limits:
Single: $3,650
Two Person or Family: $7,300
Contribution limits include your individual contribution as well as any employer contributions. The combined total can not exceed the amount(s) mentioned above each calendar year.
FSA (FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT)
The Health Care, Limited Purpose and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses. By contributing to an FSA you reduce your taxable income, so you pay less in taxes — which saves you money.

- 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
LIMITED PURPOSE FSA
- You may contribute up to $2,750 annually
- If you are enrolled in an HDHP – you are only able to participate in a Limited Purpose FSA
- Limited Purpose FSA can over cover the costs for qualified dental and vision expenses for yourself and dependents – not able to cover any qualified medical expenses
DEPENDENT CARE FSA
- You may contribute up to $5,000 annually
- Limited to $2,500 if you are married and file separate tax returns
- Eligible expenses include care for your dependent child, spouse, parent or grandparent who are incapable of caring for themselves
LIFE & DISABILITY
We provide all team members with Basic & Voluntary Life/AD&D coverage as well as Short- and Long-Term Disability through UNUM.
Basic Life/AD&D
Employees working 30 or more hours per week are eligible for twice your salary, to a maximum of $200,000, in 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.
Short Term Disability
Everyday illnesses or injuries can interfere with your ability to work. Even a few weeks away from work can make it difficult to manage household costs. Short Term Disability coverage provides financial protection for you by paying a portion of your income, so you can focus on getting better and worry less about keeping up with your bills. Your coverage through UNUM pays 60%of your income to a maximum of $1,846 per week.
Long Term Disability
Serious illnesses or accidents can interrupt your life, and your ability to work for months – even years. Long Term Disability provides financial protection for you by paying a portion of your income, so you have financial support to manage your disability and your household. Benefits begin after a 180 day elimination period are are equal to 60%of covered monthly earnings up to $8,000 for full-time employees.
