Red Spot offers 2 medical plans, a PPO and a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with Health Savings Account. Both plans are administered by UMR and include a vast regional/national network of doctors/medical facilities through the United Healthcare Choice Plus Network with Optum RX providing the role of pharmacy benefit manager. Preventive care services are covered at 100% on both plans. For more detailed information, please refer to the medical plan documents on the ADP employee portal or visit www.UMR.com.
All full time, active employees, dependents, and eligible spouses may enroll in coverage. Eligible dependent children are covered through the end of the month of their 26th birthday. A spouse is eligible for Red Spot coverage only if they are not eligible for their own employer-sponsored plan.
Red Spot provides an incentive in the form of a discounted premium for completing an annual health screening during an announced time.
With your plan you also have access to:
See resources below for more information.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-free savings account owned by you, 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.
For 2022, Red Spot funds employee Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) at $750 for employee only tiers and $1,500 for all other tiers. These amounts are pro-rated for new hires and those changing tiers during the year. 2023 funding will be announced in late 2022. Eligible employees can set up their own health savings accounts or request an application to set up one through First Federal Savings Bank. To be eligible for the company contribution, HSA accounts must be set up by no later than November 1, 2022. Some employees will not be eligible to make or receive HSA contributions due to IRS regulations. Examples of ineligible employees include, but are not limited to, being enrolled in Medicare Part A or B or Tri-Care, having accessed VA benefits in last 90 days, having other first dollar health coverage, or participating in a flexible benefit plan for medical reimbursement. In addition to the company contribution, eligible employees may make pre-tax contributions into their HSA accounts through payroll deduction; please refer to the Red Spot HSA Payroll Deferral Form on the ADP portal. It is each employee’s responsibility to ensure they do not contribute more than the 2022 annual IRS HSA contribution limit of $3,650 for self only coverage and $7,300 for family coverage. A catch-up contribution of up to $1,000 can be made during the year by HSA-eligible participants who will turn 55 by year-end. Please consider the Red Spot funding when determining your contribution. If you have a child who is no longer a tax dependent, you can cover them on your insurance up to age 26, and you may be eligible to receive the family health savings contribution; however, IRS regulations may prevent you from utilizing health savings contributions to pay for their medical expenses. Refer to your tax advisor if you have questions concerning your personal tax situation.
The FSA Plan is administered through American Benefits Group and allows employees to save money by using pre-tax dollars to pay for certain health care and dependent care expenses. Red Spot’s health care FSA includes a 2-month grace period to incur expenses for the prior year if submitted within the appropriate timeframe.
Health Care FSA - Employees may designate as much as $2,850 per year to pay for out-of-pocket medical, prescription, dental, and vision care expenses for their own and their eligible family members—family members are not required to be covered under the Red Spot health care plan. You cannot participate in this plan if you are covered on the High Deductible Health Plan. For additional resources, visit www.amben.com/FS (link below).
Dependent Care FSA - Employees may designate up to $5,000 per year, if annual tax filing status is “married filing jointly” or “head of household,” to pay for dependent care expenses during work hours. If spouse’s employer also offers a dependent care FSA, the combined total for both plans cannot exceed $5,000. Employees who are married but file separate tax returns, may not contribute more than $2,500 per year.

Life insurance is an important part of your financial security. Life insurance helps protect your family from financial risk and sudden loss of income in the event of your death.

The employee must be enrolled in supplemental coverage to purchase coverage for dependents or spouse. Employees can elect $10,000 to $500,000 – in $10,000 increments, not to exceed 5 times basic annual earnings – with no medical questions asked up to the guaranteed issue amount of $150,000 if under age 70 and $10,000 if age 70-79. If you elect coverage for yourself, you can elect $10,000 to $250,000 – in $10,000 increments – with no medical questions asked up to the guaranteed issue amount of $30,000 if under age 70 and $10,000 if age 70 or over for your spouse. If you elect coverage for yourself, you can elect $2,500 to $10,000 – in $2,500 increments – with no medical questions asked for your dependent children 14 days to 26 years old. The child must be financially dependent upon their parents to remain covered. The coverage you select for your spouse and children cannot exceed 100% of your coverage amount. Benefits are reduced to 65% at age 65 and to 50% at age 70 for employees and their spouses. Please refer to the full plan summary for additional details of the life insurance plans.

RED SPOT 401-K SAVINGS PLAN- EMPLOYEE DEFERRAL/ COMPANY MATCH:
The Red Spot 401(k) savings plan provides employees the opportunity to save for retirement. The plan is administered by Fidelity Investment Company. New employees are eligible to participate the first of the month following date of hire. Employees can elect to defer a percentage, through payroll deduction, from 1% to 60% of weekly wages on a pre-tax basis not to exceed the 2022 IRS maximum of $20,500 for the year. Employees aged 50 or older (or will be turning 50 during the calendar year), may make an additional “catch-up” contribution of up to $6,500. Catch up contributions are not eligible for a company matching contribution. The amount contributed may be increased or decreased at the beginning of each payroll period. All employee contributions to the plan are fully and immediately vested. Please refer to the Summary Plan Description for investment funds and complete plan information. The current company match is $0.65 for each $1.00 deferred, to a maximum of 6% of eligible earnings.
401(k) SAVINGS- NON-ELECTIVE DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN (Formally “Profit Sharing Plan”):
The Non-Elective Employer Contribution Plan is an additional retirement benefit for employees. On an annual basis, Red Spot may elect to make a discretionary non-elective contribution to the Plan. The contributions will be transferred to Fidelity Management Trust Company into employees’ personal accounts. The plan allows employees the ability to direct their own investments for retirement planning purposes. Eligibility requirements include completing six months of service. The eligibility period is then the 1st of the month after 6 months of service. A contribution is based upon the income received from that date of eligibility through the end of that plan year. In subsequent years, an employee must work at least 1,000 hours in each plan year and be actively employed as of the last day of the plan year (December 31st) unless due to death or retirement. Intern employees (part-time/temporary employees) are not eligible for this Plan unless they have worked 1,000 hours in a plan year. If a discretionary contribution is approved for a plan year, it is generally communicated after year-end close is complete. Deposits to employee Fidelity accounts generally occur in the April timeframe for the prior year.
ROTH 401(k) OPTION:
Employees have the option of contributing to a Roth 401(k) through the Red Spot 401(k) Savings Plan. Unlike a traditional pre-tax 401(k), the Roth 401(k) allows employees to contribute after-tax dollars and then withdraw tax-free dollars from their accounts when they retire (if an employee is at least 59 ½ years old and it has been five years since their first Roth 401(k) contribution). Employees have the choice of contributing to a traditional pre-tax 401(k) option, a Roth 401(k), or a combination of the two. Combined contributions to a Roth 401(k) and traditional pre-tax 401(k) cannot exceed the IRS annual limits (for 2022, deferral contribution limit of $20,500 and for those who are at least 50 by 12/31/22, an additional $6,500).
