Spending Accounts
Please note the URL for Spending Accounts is changing to myspendingaccount.adp.com. The current URL will remain active until the end of the current plan year.
NOTE: Please be aware there is a significant change to the FSA plans. If you have a current contribution elected for the plan, it will not automatically rollover into the new plan year.
Employees must make an election to continue contributions in the FSA plans for 2014 (Dependent Care & Health Care).
The last deduction for Spending Accounts will be November 30th unless a new election for 2014 is made.
The Disability Plans
Short Term Disability Insurance
The maximum weekly amount an employee can receive will increase from $800 to $1,000 (60% of the first $1,667 of your monthly benefit salary).
You may report an STD claim using the disability claim packet available
on the website or you can report a claim telephonically. Instructions for filing a claim are provided at the following URL: www.standard. com/eforms/13218_642967.pdf
Long Term Disability Insurance
Premiums for the Long Term Disability plan will change from a pre-tax to an after-tax basis. This will mean if an employee is approved to receive benefits under the Long Term Disability plan, the employee will not have to pay taxes on the benefits received.
NOTE: Exceptions apply to participants with employer paid premiums.
If you enroll for the first time after your initial eligibility period and are required to provide evidence of insurability, you may do this electronically through a new automated medical underwriting system which will speed up the process.
