Tax Free Health Benefits

Northside ISD offers all employees the opportunity to pay for health premiums and certain medical expenses with tax-free income through our Section 125 Cafeteria Plan. By electing to participate in the Cafeteria Plan, premiums for any medical, dental or vision premiums, and the premium for up to $50,000 life insurance, will be payroll deducted before computation of federal income tax.  This results in a tax savings to the employee.

Employees may also elect to have a pre-tax payroll deduction deposited into a Medical Flexible Spending Account (FSA) in order to receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket eligible expenses (e.g., deductibles, lab fees, prescription drugs etc.) For a complete list of eligible expenses please click here.  Employees enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) may elect to enroll in a Health Savings Account (HSA) instead of the Medical FSA.  Like the Medical FSA, payroll deductions for the HSA are taken pre-tax.  Unlike the Medical FSA, monies in a HSA accumulate from year to year.

A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is also available under the Cafeteria Plan. For questions regarding any of these plans please call SBS at 659-8100 or the NISD Benefits and Risk Management Office at 397-8620.

 

Health & Wellness Program

Northside ISD has established a Health and Wellness Committee to provide advice and assistance to NISD decision makers regarding matters of insurance, wellness activities, and other issues related to health benefits for Northside employees. Members of the committee are selected from each campus and central office department.

The mission of this program is to promote healthy lifestyles among all employees and their families and thereby reduce medical costs and utilization, improve quality of life and enhance productivity.

For additional information on the Wellness Program, committee membership or its activities, please contact Anna-Marie Rizo, Benefits Communications Specialist at 397-8620.
