DENTAL Staying healthy includes obtaining quality dental care for you and your family. The City of Grand Junction’s dental plan allows you to
use an extensive network of providers and offers flexibility based upon where you choose to access care. On the Delta Dental PPO
plus Premier plan you may visit any licensed dentist but you will receive the greatest out-of-pocket savings if you see a Delta Dental
PPO dentist. If you see a dentist that is not contracted with Delta Dental, a provider may bill you for the difference between the
amount allowed by Delta Dental and the fee the dentist charges for that service.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT Enrollment in the City's HDHP medical plan or other
qualified HDHP plan is required to enroll in a Health
Savings Account. This account helps you pay for eligible
medical, dental, vision and pharmacy expenses today and
in the future and also reduces your taxes. Any interest you
earn is tax-free. You own the account so you decide when
and how you want to use it. HSA accounts are portable and
are not tied to employment with the City.
2018 IRS Maximum Contribution Limits:
Single $3,450
Family $6,900
Catch up for age 55+ additional $1,000
You are eligible to open and contribute to an HSA only if you enroll in the HDHP. An HSA is an account that can be
funded with your pre-tax dollars and the City's $750 match per employee to help pay for eligible medical expenses not
covered by the insurance plan.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HSA:
For an expense to be eligible for reimbursement, the HSA must be opened prior to the expense occurring, and you
must have money available in the account.
You may contribute the annual maximum in a calendar year, regardless of when your coverage begins, as long as you
are covered for the next 12 months.
Interest earned on contributions is tax deferred.
Distributions from an HSA for qualified medical expenses are not taxable.
There are no time limits for reimbursements.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs are reimbursable through your HSA plan with a prescription.
Vision and dental services are qualified medical expenses.
Unused funds roll over each year.
Distributions made for other than qualified medical expenses are subject to income tax on that amount and a 20%
penalty.
Anyone covered under Medicare cannot contribute.
Anyone covered under FSA/MERP/HRAs, a non-HDHP policy or through the Military cannot contribute.
If you are a veteran, you may not have received veteran’s benefits within the last three months.
ADMINISTRATION: HSAs are owned by the employee regardless of where funding comes from.
Appropriate distribution of funds is the sole responsibility of the employee.
Contributions can be employee money, employer money or any combination.
Contributions can be a lump sum or made monthly, funded up front or in arrears.
Contact Home Loan State Bank at 970-243-6600 or visit www.hlsb.com to learn more.
15
FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT The City of Grand Junction offers two types of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA): Healthcare and Dependent Care.
Under IRS regulations, you must re-enroll in the Flexible Spending Account(s) each year in order to take
advantage of the pre-tax benefits of the program. These plans allow employees to use pre-tax dollars for
eligible out-of-pocket health care or child/dependent care expenses. Eligible employees can choose either or both of
these programs. Both plans are administered through 24Hour Flex.
HEALTHCARE FSA
prescribed by a physician.
As with other benefit plans, the FSA plan year is January 1 through December 31. However, qualified medical
expenses incurred after December 31, 2017 can be paid with any remaining funds from 2017 up to March 15, 2018.
The City requires that all claims must be submitted for reimbursement no later than March 31 each year.
DEPENDENT CARE FSA Allows employees to reduce their taxable income by up to $5,000 for expenses they incur purchasing qualified dependent
care in order to allow them to work. You may use the money in your Dependent Care FSA for out-of-pocket day care
expenses paid for your children under age 13. If you are married, your spouse must be employed, or be a full-time
student. With the Dependent Care FSA, you must have enough money in your account to pay your claim before you will
be reimbursed for eligible expenses.
LIMITED PURPOSE FLEX SPENDING ACCOUNT Employees who are contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA) are restricted from participating in a regular Flexible
Spending Account that allows for all medical, dental, and vision expenses to be reimbursed. You may participate in a
Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account which allows you to set aside monies for dental and vision expenses only.
The Limited FSA will not allow any medical expenses to be reimbursed as these types of expenses are required to be
run through your HSA.
16
GROUP (BASIC) LIFE AND ACCIDENTAL DEATH & DISMEMBERMENT (AD&D) Life Insurance is a very important part of good financial planning to help prevent loved ones from facing financial hardships related to an untimely death.

In addition to the employer-paid benefit, eligible employees can elect to add basic life insurance for your dependent(s) to this policy.

The employee's mandatory contribution of 6% is made on a pre-tax basis and is matched by the City.
Full-time sworn fire and sworn police employees participate in this plan on the first day of employment with the City, and will qualify for a fully vested benefit by completing five years of service.

19
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT (IRA) An Individual Retirement Account, or IRA, is a special tax-advantaged account that allows you to build savings for your retirement. You are able to set aside money via payroll deduction. One of the primary benefits of an IRA is that your investment's earnings compound tax-deferred. Through ICMA-RC and Vantagepoint you can decide which type of IRA works best for you. The Traditional IRA and the Roth IRA can help you address both future and current financial needs, but they differ significantly in their tax treatment of contributions and distributions. For 2018, the maximum you can contribute to all of your traditional and Roth IRAs is the smaller of:
$5,500 ($6,500 if you are 50 or older) or your taxable compensation for the year. The IRA contribution limit does not apply to; Rollover contributions or Qualified reservist repayments. RETIREE HEALTH INSURANCE All eligible employees who have City health coverage will contribute $19.04 per pay period as a payroll deduction for retiree health insurance coverage. This plan pre-funds a portion of premiums for health insurance coverage between the ages of 50 and 65 after separating from the City.
If you are unsure about how to invest your retirement contributions, take the time to meet with an ICMA-RC representa-tive and take advantage of many of the different programs offered. We are fortunate to have ICMA-RC representatives visit the City of Grand Junction on a monthly basis and hold one-on-one meetings with employees to help you decide what the best options are for you as an individual. They offer education programs to anyone from a new investor to those who are looking at retirement. ICMA-RC can assist you with financial planning or investment choices as well.
For more information view the ICMA-RC Schedule on CityWeb: GJCity.org
http://cityweb.ci.grandct.co.us/Employee_Information/Benefits/Retirement
http://www.gjcity.org/siteassets/government/2018icmarcschedule.pdf DEFERRED COMPENSATION - 457 PLAN The 457 is a voluntary retirement plan. Deferred compensation is a way for you to set aside money via payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis to save for retirement. The City does not match your 457 plan contribution. You may enroll, increase, or decrease your tax deferred deductions at any time. Currently, there is no tax penalty for an eligible withdrawal.
Some benefits of the 457 Plan: You reduce your current income taxes while investing for retirement. Your earnings accumulate tax-deferred. You may be allowed to make additional "catch-up" contributions if you are 50 or older or within three years of your
normal retirement age and already contributing the maximum to your plan. Max contributions $18,500. Catch-up provision if 55 or older additional $6,000. (IRS could change these amounts
for 2018)
