Health Insurance & Social Security
Employees who continue working beyond teh age of eligibility for full social security retirement are entitled to the same medical coverage they had before that age. However, employees and their spouses should contact the Social Security Officethree months prior to their eligibility age in order to enroll in Part A of the Medicare Program and to obtain current and specific information about the entire program. Employees do not need to sign up for Part B of Medicare as long as they are active employee covered under the Le Moyne College medical plan.

COBRA
Under the provisions of a law commonly referred to as COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act), a terminating employee may usually arrange to continue coverage for a longer period, if necessary, but the employee is responsible for paying the full cost. Arrangements for continuation of coverage are made through the Office of Human Resources.

Also, under the COBRA law a participant who becomes ineligible for coverage due to a loss of dependent status (a divorced spouse or child aging out) can continue coverage for a limited period, but the participant must notify the Office of Human Resources within 30 days of the qualifying event.

Flexible Spending Accounts allow you to save taxes on the money you spend for uncovered medical/dental and/or dependent care expenses. You can set aside money through payroll deductions during the calendar year to pay for predictable expenses, and amounts are deducted from your gross pay before federal, state and Social Security taxes are withheld. Because you pay no taxes on your FSA deposits, you effectively increase your spendable income over the year.

Plan Highlights

1. The Healthcare Account is used to pay for any medical and dental expenses that are not covered by insurance plans. Some of the expenses eligible for reimbursement are: deductibles and co-payments under health insurance and dental plans; orthodontic care; chiropractic care; eyeglasses and contact lenses, etc.  The IRS has indicated that expenses for solely cosmetic reasons or for the maintenance of general health are not eligible expenses for medical care.  Premiums you pay for medical and dental coverage, whether for yourself, your spouse, or a dependent, are not eligible expenses. Complete list of eligible and ineligible items. The maximum contribution is $2600 (for 2017). 
   • $500 Carry-over Rule: If you have a balance remaining at the end of the calendar year, up to $500 will automatically carry over to the next calendar year.  This "carry-over" amount will not effect the maximum you can contribute.
   • FSA $500 carry-over 2014.pdf
2. The Dependent Care Account is used to pay for certain dependent care expenses incurred because you (and your spouse, if married) are employed. Eligible expenses include charges for the care of dependent children age 12 and under or for elderly or disabled family members who are dependent on you for financial support. The maximum annual contribution is $5000 and may be less under certain circumstances (e.g., the limit is $2500 if you are married filing separately). There is no carry-over rule for the dependent care account.

Enrollment: During Open Enrollment each fall, you decide the total amount you want deposited into either or both of the FSA accounts for the next calendar year. That amount is deducted from your paychecks in equal increments throughout the year.

Please note: Once you choose your FSA deposit amount, you may not change or stop your deductions during the year unless your family status changes (due to marriage or birth of a child, for example), and the action must be consistent with the status change.

Your Account
Once enrolled you can check your account information on the Lifetime Benefit Solutions website:

1. Log into the participant portal: https://ebrparticipant.lh1ondemand.com/login.aspx
2. The username will be your social security number (Effective May 1, 2017 the username will be the first initial of your first name, the full last name and the last four digits of your SSN)
3. The password will be the first initial of your first name (lower-case) followed by your zip code.

Reimbursements
Complete the appropriate form for reimbursement:
Dependent Care Reimbursement Form.pdf
Reimbursement Request Form.pdf
*You can also submit for reimbursement online, by logging into your account and uploading a copy of your receipt(s).

Mail OR fax the completed request for reimbursement with any required documentation to: 

Lifetime Benefit Solutions
Claims Department
PO Box 6509
Syracuse, NY 13217

Fax #: (877) 256-7228
Phone #: (800) 327-7130
https://www.lifetimebenefitsolutions.com/participants/participant-contact/​​

You have a 120-day period following the end of year of your Plan Year to file for reimbursement of expenses incurred in the previous Plan Year. 

---

You cannot switch funds between accounts.

If you terminate employment or go on an unpaid leave of absence, your deductions will stop and you may not submit claims for services incurred after your termination date or LOA start date. When you return from an unpaid leave of absence, you may resume deductions for the rest of the plan year.

IMPORTANT: Once the period for submitting claims expires, any funds remaining in your accounts must be forfeited, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service regulations. This is called the "use it or lose it" rule. Therefore, it is important to estimate your expenses carefully when you enroll in the plan.

Summary Plan Description (FSA).pdf

Le Moyne College has joined a select group of higher education institutions nationwide in offering a Guaranteed Mortgage Program (guaranteed mortgage program PDF.pdf) for its full-time employees. For full-time employees buying homes under the program, the college will guarantee the loan for employees at no risk to the lender, eliminating the need for a down payment and private mortgage insurance.

Under the program, financing for 100% of the purchase price of a home is available to qualified buyers, with Le Moyne College serving as guarantor on the mortgage. The home must be the employee's primary residence and can only be a single-family home, a two-family home or a townhouse.

Qualifying properties must fall within a specified area of the city. The boundaries for this area, roughly 781 acres, are Erie Boulevard to the north, East Genesee Street to the south, Croly Street to the west and the city line to the east. Currently, approximately 70 Le Moyne employees live within these boundaries, which includes more than 1,600 single- and two-family homes.

To be eligible for the program, the Le Moyne employee must obtain a mortgage through Summit Federal Credit Union. The individual would apply for a mortgage as normal and must meet all customary lending criteria established by the lending bank. The employee then would complete a Le Moyne application and eligibility form. If approved by the college, this form would be submitted to the lending institution, which would process the mortgage under the Guaranteed Mortgage Program.

Once accepted into the Master's program, the individual must fulfill requirements for continuation in the program and fulfill graduation requirements.
3. Course admission will be determined on the basis of space available in a particular course. Final determination of course admission will be made on the published last day to Drop/Add. If available space is limited, admission will be determined according to employee's seniority. If a spouse needs a particular course to complete graduation requirements, and that course is consistently filled at registration time, the spouse has the option of registering early and paying for the course.
4. If the employee's employment at Le Moyne is terminated prior to completion of course work and the spouse elects to continue in the course, the spouse will be responsible for payment on a pro-rated basis.

----------

Tax Dependent for FACHEX and Tuition Exchange purposes: If an employee's son or daughter is not claimed as a tax dependent because of a divorce, that employee is entitled to the tuition remission benefit if the child support was paid during the most recently completed calendar year.

Preliminary Application Form: Tuition Exchange and FACHEX Program.pdf

FACHEX
FACHEX is the acronym for Faculty Children Exchange Program,. It is sponsored by the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. At Le Moyne College, all full-time faculty, administrators, and staff who have been employed for at least three years at Le Moyne college are eligible to apply for this benefit for their dependent children. Generally, anybody eligible for the full Le Moyne College Employee Tuition Remission benefits would be allowed to apply.

To be considered for a FACHEX award, the student must be accepted as a full-time undergraduate student at a participating Jesuit Institution listed below. Le Moyne College determines if the student is eligible to apply for the FACHEX benefit but it is the other Jesuit Institution that determines if they are going to award a FACHEX to the student.

FACHEX applies to tuition charges only. The receiving Jesuit Institution may apply for further restrictions. Not all eligible applicants for the FACHEX benefit will receive a FACHEX award. All of the participating Jesuit schools are obligated to award only three FACHEX awards over the number of students it has receiving FACHEX from other participating institutions. For example, if a Jesuit school has four eligible employee children from their institution receiving FACHEX benefits from other participating Jesuit Colleges or Universities, then they would be obligated to award only seven FACHEX benefits for their pool of eligible applicants.

The eligible Le Moyne employee would inform the Le Moyne Director of Financial Aid, in writing, that their daughter or son has been accepted for admission at one or more of the participating Jesuit institutions. The would indicate the name of the student and the Jesuit school(s) where they would like to be considered for FACHEX benefits.

If the employee is eligible for a FACHEX award, the Le Moyne College Director of Financial Aid would inform the FACHEX coordinator at the institutions listed by the Le Moyne employee that the student is eligible to be considered for the FACHEX award.

The participating Jesuit institution would contact the student directly regarding the actual FACHEX award decision.

The Le Moyne College employee would inform the Le Moyne College Director of Financial Aid in writing if their daughter or son has been offered a FACHEX benefit and will attend the school making that offer.

Tuition Exchange Guidelines
The Tuition Exchange (TE) provides a national scholarship exchange program for dependent children of full-time faculty and staff among its members of approximately 450 colleges and universities.

The Tuition Exchange Program provides the opportunity for eligible dependent children to receive undergraduate scholarships at one of the member institutions (hereafter referred to as the host institution.) In exchange, dependent children of employees of other colleges and universities may attend Le Moyne College. Colleges and universities participating in this program have agreed to remit tuition for participants from other member institution. The primary obligation of a member institution is to maintain a balanced exchange pattern, a reasonable match between students "exports" and student "imports". The TE Program is a scholarship program, not a fringe benefit provided by Le Moyne College, the sponsor institution: www.tuitionexchange.org

The following guidelines are applicable to Le Moyne College employees who participate in the program:

• Dependent Child: Any natural or legally adopted child, provided that financial dependence on the parents can be demonstrated. Ordinarily, children meeting requirements for dependence set forth by the Internal Revenue Service will qualify.
• Applicant: The dependent child of an eligible employee who has applied for full-time, undergraduate study to a college or university that participants in the Tuition Exchange (TE) program.
• Tuition Exchange: A program through which a participating TE institution is remitted for the dependent child of an eligible employee. TE scholarships are awarded for full-time, undergraduate work only. They are not available for graduate study, non-degree study, or second undergraduate degrees.
• Maximum Scholarship: A TE scholarship will normally be awarded to only one child of an eligible employee at a time. TE scholarships will not exceed a maximum of four years per TE recipient.
• Tuition Exchange Liaison Officer: Director of Financial Aid

Procedures

• By November 1 of each academic year, applicants will notify the TE Liaison Officer of intent to apply for a TE scholarship by completing and returning a Preliminary Application Form available from the Financial Aid Office.
• The TE Liaison Officer will verify the eligibility and seniority of the employee/parent with the Office of Human Resources.
• By January 1 of the current academic year Le Moyne will be given the number of available TE "units" available for the upcoming academic year. The number of available "units" or "slots" will be determined by the current number of Le Moyne College "imports" and "exports" and may vary from year to year.
• By January 15 of the current academic year, the selection of TE candidates will be made. First priority will be given to students who were awarded TE scholarship in previous academic years and incoming freshman.
• If the number of applicants is equal to the number of TE scholarships available, each applicant will be given the opportunity to apply for a TE scholarship.
• If the number of applicants exceeds the number of TE scholarships, candidates will be determined by seniority. Years of full-time service will be determined on a contractual year basis.
• Applicants who are not selected as TE recipient will be placed on a waiting list as alternates in accordance with the selection process above.
• In the event that a TE recipient chooses to attend a non-TE institution or otherwise forfeits the right to receive a TE scholarship, alternates will be reconsidered for any available slots.
• Alternates who are not selected may reapply for a TE scholarship for the following academic year in accordance with the selection process above.
• Selected applicants must accept the TE scholarship award in writing by May 1, for the upcoming academic year and notify the TE Liaison Officer of the decision to enroll in a TE member institution. Applicants who do not meet this requirement will forfeit their awards to alternates on the waiting list.
• Students will ordinarily be able to remain in the program for four years, but continued participation depends upon yearly certification of eligibility, the student's adequate academic standing at the host institution and Le Moyne College's ability to attract sufficient "import" to offset or balance its "exports". Accordingly, renewal forms must be completed and processed in a timely manner every year.
• Eligibility to apply for a TE scholarship is determined by Le Moyne College. However, TE scholarships are granted by the host institution. Le Moyne College cannot guarantee that any applicant, no matter how well qualified, will receive a TE scholarship from the host institution that may choose to restrict its imports if their number exceeds exports.
• Continued participation in the program is contingent upon maintaining a GPA of at least 2.0 on 4.0 scale. Each recipient who is awarded a TE scholarship must submit a transcript to the TE Liaison Office within one month of the end of each academic year.
• If the applicant applies to several participating TE institutions, the Le Moyne College Liaison Office must be informed of the outcome of the application process. If a TE recipient takes a leave of absence or withdraws from school, the student must notify the TE Liaison Officer at both Le Moyne College and the host institution immediately.
• TE applicants who qualify to receive aid from other sources (excluding loans) in excess of 50% of the total cost of tuition, room and board, and fees are not eligible to receive a TE scholarship.
• An employee who separates from employment before an eligible dependent child enters the TE will not be eligible for participation in the program. If a person separates from employment while an eligible dependent child is a participant in the TE Program, eligibility will be continued for the remainder of the academic year only.
• If an employee dies before their dependent child has completed their education through TE, the child will be permitted to remain in the program. Dependents of deceased employees may be eligible to participate in TE under current College policy guidelines.

Le Moyne College reserves the right to review, revise and modify these Guidelines to insure an appropriate balance between "import" and "export" students.

​The College maintains a group long-term disability insurance plan, which provides each participant a portion of his/her income in the event of a long term disability. The cost of the insurance is paid by Le Moyne College. Under this program, disability is defined as being completely unable due to sickness, bodily injury, or pregnancy to perform your normal occupation.

Eligibility: Full-time employees with one year of active full-time employment. An individual may be eligible for immediate enrollment if he/she had group disability coverage just prior to join Le Moyne College.

Benefits begin as of the first of the month following six consecutive months of total disability. The plan provides an income benefit of 60% of base monthly salary, with a maximum of $10,000 per month. Payments are reduced by the amount of any Social Security and/or Workers' Compensation benefits. If the employee was participating in the College's Retirement plan when disability began, the plan also provides a monthly premium benefit for the retirement plan contributions.

Employees will retain medical and dental insurance at the active employee rate, as well as Life, Long-term Disability, and retirement contributions under The Hartford's waiver of premium benefit.

Benefit Summary - LTD.pdf

Faculty members and exempt (salaried) employees will also receive 40% of their salary for the first six months of long-term disability. 

This insurance coverage will end when a person terminates employment at Le Moyne College or goes on unpaid leave of absence.

1. New employees: Employees and spouse can elect any amount up to the guarantee issue without evidence of insurability. Child benefit of $10,000 never requires evidence of insurability.  Must enroll within 31 days of eligibility date.

2. Annual Open Enrollment: Employees can enroll in coverage at this time but must provide evidence of insurability. This applies to new enrollees and current enrollees who want to increase coverage amounts for the employee and/or spouse.

3. Family Status Change: This allows an employee to elect coverage for themselves, spouse, or child due to a change (i.e. marriage, spouse loss of coverage, birth of a child).  Employee is still required to provide evidence of insurability for any employee election.
