403 (b) Information

As an employee of a public school district you are eligible to participate in section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue code allowing pre-tax savings. Please be advised that the District uses a Third Party Administrator (TPA) to process 403(b) contributions to ensure compliance with all state and federal guidelines. The district will no longer accept, process transactions or authorize deduction changes without approval from the Third Party Administrator (TPA). Teacher Retirement System of Texas rules and regulations still apply.

Every employee is eligible to participate in a 403(b) plan.

Flexible Spending Accounts

New rules go into effect for Flexible Spending accounts (FSA) on January 1, 2011 that changes eligible Over-The-Counter (OTC) drugs and medicines. Purchases made on or before December 31, 2010 will still qualify for the FSA.

Due to Health Care Reform, effective 1/1/2011, Over-The-Counter medicines and drugs, except for insulin, will require a prescription from your physician to be reimbursed from your FSA. The prescription will need to be included with each OTC medicine or drug claim request submitted.

Detailed information regarding these changes
