Who is eligible to participate?
Generally, any employee with at least one full year of service except those in the Senior Management Group (SMG), those with a grade Management and Senior Professionals Level MSP VIII, those who work for departments reporting to The Regents (Office of the General Counsel, Treasurer’s Office, Compliance/Audit and Secretary and Chief of Staff to the Regents), those whose appointment is less than 50 percent, temporary appointments (limited, casual, TOPS, per diem), those receiving UCRP benefits (rehired retirees) and those who already have a separation agreement or other severance arrangement in place. Eligible employees who are exclusively represented by a union will be able to participate in the Voluntary Separation Program subject to agreement by their unions.
Only employees are eligible to participate in the FSA. Therefore, two percent or more owners in an S Corporation, sole proprietors, partners in a partnership, LLCs, and LLPs are not eligible to participate in the plan. Your Manley Services representative will work with you to resolve any eligibility questions. Can employees make changes during the plan year? Changes to the dependent care account can be made if the participant experiences a qualified change in status (marriage, divorce, birth, death, adoption, a spouse changing employment, or a job shift change for the employee or their spouse that directly affects their child care). Changes to the unreimbursed health expense account are based on a more limited set of qualifying events, and can be made only if the plan you have adopted allows changes to this account. How soon must employees submit claims?
