  43. How Does an FSA Work? • FIRST= Calculate your annual election: • Maximum= $5,000 per account , • Minimum= $250 per account, and • Household limit for DCFSA= $5,000 ($2,500 if married & file separately). • SECOND= Enroll in the Program: • Election is deducted in installments called allotments, • Allotments are spread evenly for 27 pay periods in 2012. • THIRD= File your claim for reimbursement: • Fax/mail your claim form with copies of the receipts to FSAFEDS, • Approx. 5-7 business days to receive your funds through direct deposit, • If participating in “paperless reimbursement” then FEHB & FEDVIP plans automatically forwards your claims weekly (daily if BCBS plan). • FOURTH= Keep track of your account (on-line): • Check your account status, balance, claim info., reimbursements • www.FSAFEDS.com and click “My account Summary,” or • Call 1-877-FSAFEDS (372-3337) for automated info.

  45. What is Long Term Care? • Long term care insurance is a smart way to protect your income & assets and remain financially independent should you need long term care services. • Long term care is personal care & other related services provided on an extended basis to: • When an individual can no longer perform everyday tasks(activities of daily living) on his/her own due to: • Chronic illness, • Injury, • Disability, or • Aging process. • People who need supervision due to a severe cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s disease. • LTC insurance helps you pay for long term care services such as: • Home care, • Adult day care center, • Assisted living facility, or • Nursing home.

  46. What to consider? • In most cases, long term care expenses are not covered by traditional medical insurance plans such as: • Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, • TRICARE, and TRICARE For Life, or • Disability income insurance. • Health care plans may cover some of the skilled medical services you may need when you can't care for yourself after an illness or injury, but usually for a limited period and only as long as you are showing improvement. • Most employees must be eligible for the FEHB Program in order to apply for coverage under the FLTCIP. • It does not matter if you are actually enrolled in FEHB - eligibility is the key!

  47. How to Enroll? • New change: Same-sex domestic partners of eligible Federal and U.S. Postal Service employees and annuitants can apply for coverage under the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) as qualified relatives. • Apply within the first 60 days of hire/eligibility so you may use the Abbreviated Underwriting Application. • After 60 days, applicants must use the Full Underwriting Application, which requires you to answer more health-related. It may also include a review of your medical records & an interview with a nurse. • Coverage will begin on the first day of the month after an application is approved, and premiums will be based on the enrollee's age and option selected. • Must enroll through FLTCIP on-line: • Phone: 1-800-582-3337 (1-800-LTC-FEDS) & TTY 1-800-843-3557 • www.LTCFEDS.com • Premium is payroll deduction. • Note: Certain medical conditions, or combinations of conditions, will prevent some people from being approved for coverage. You must apply to find out if you are eligible to enroll.
