About this file

This document is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Summary Plan Description for the City of Miami, administered by Cigna Healthcare, effective January 1, 2025. The plan allows employees to set aside pre-tax contributions for eligible healthcare expenses, with a maximum annual contribution of $3,300 and a carryover limit of $660. Participants can contribute bi-weekly throughout the plan year, with the full elected amount available for reimbursement from the first day of the plan year. The FSA covers a wide range of medical expenses, including deductibles, copayments, prescription costs, routine physical exams, immunizations, vision supplies, and over-the-counter drugs and medical supplies.

The plan is funded entirely through employee pre-tax contributions, with no employer contributions. Participants can use an FSA debit card or submit claims for reimbursement through Cigna's online portal or by mail. The plan operates on a use-it-or-lose-it basis, meaning unused funds beyond the carryover amount will be forfeited at the end of the plan year. Employees must submit claims within 30 days of the plan year's end, and the plan offers an AutoPay option for automatically forwarding eligible expenses from a Cigna Medical Plan Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) to the FSA. The plan is available to full-time, non-temporary employees of the City of Miami and its subsidiaries, with enrollment being optional and subject to specific eligibility and life status change rules.

About This Summary Plan Description This is the Summary Plan Description (SPD) for the City of Miami, (hereinafter referred to as your Employer), Health Care Flexible Spending Account Plan, referred to as the Plan or the Health Care FSA plan. This SPD is also the Health Care FSA plan document.

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA), also known as a flexible spending arrangement, is a tax-advantaged financial account set up by your employer. An FSA allows you to set aside a portion of your earnings to pay for qualified expenses as established in the Plan, most commonly for medical expenses.

Money deducted from your pay into an FSA is not subject to payroll taxes resulting in tax savings.

You will be notified of any changes to the Health Care FSA through SPD updates or announcements. If you have any questions about the Plan, see information in the “Who To Contact” section.

Explanation of Terms You will find terms starting with capital letters throughout your SPD. To help you understand your benefits, most of these terms are defined in the “Definitions” section of your

SPD.

HC-FSA2 V1

Who To Contact For more information about the topics listed below, contact your Plan Administrator:

Eligibility Enrollment Payroll Contributions Life Status Changes COBRA Continuation Covered Expenses Claims (call the number on the back of your ID card or 1-800-Cigna24)

HC-FSA3

Eligibility Enrolling in the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is optional.

You are not automatically covered by the Plan. You are eligible to enroll in the FSA if you are a full-time, non-temporary employee of your Employer, its divisions or its subsidiaries in the United States. Please contact your Plan Administrator for additional details.

HC-FSA4

Enrolling When and How You Can Enroll There are limited periods (described below) when you can choose whether or not to participate in the Plan. You cannot change your enrollment decision or your coverage amount until the next annual enrollment period, unless you have a Life Status Change, as described below.

If You Are Newly Eligible You have 30 days from the date you become eligible (by hire, rehire, or job status change) to enroll in the FSA. If you enroll:

Your Plan coverage starts on the date you enroll and remains effective for the rest of the Plan Year.

The amount you elect to contribute will be divided by the number of pay periods remaining in the year. Your Employer will begin deducting Pre-tax Contributions from your pay in the next paycheck processed after you enroll.

Only Covered Expenses that you incur on or after the date your coverage starts will be eligible for reimbursement from your FSA.

During the Annual Enrollment Period If you are eligible, you can enroll in the FSA during the annual enrollment period. You will be told how to enroll before the enrollment period starts. If you enroll:

Your Plan coverage starts at the beginning of the following Plan Year and remains in effect for the entire Plan Year.

The amount you elect to contribute will be divided by the number of pay periods in the year. Your Employer will begin deducting your Pre-tax Contributions from your pay in the first paycheck of the Plan Year.

Only Covered Expenses that you incur during the Plan Year will be eligible for reimbursement from your FSA.

myCigna.com6

If you have funds remaining at the end of the Plan Year which meet the criteria established by your Plan for Carryover (i.e., your year-end FSA balance is greater than the minimum and less than the maximum amount allowed to carry over), you will automatically be enrolled in the FSA for the new Plan Year and your new balance will be equal to the amount allowed to be carried over based on your Plan’s criteria for Carryover. If you have elected to participate in a qualified high deductible health plan with a Health Savings Account (HSA) for the new Plan Year and your Plan offers a Limited Purpose FSA option, your automatic enrollment resulting from FSA Carryover will be placed into the Limited Purpose FSA for the new Plan Year.

You have the right to opt out of this Carryover. Notification must be given to your Plan Administrator prior to the end of the Plan Year that you do not want the Plan Year’s unused Health Flexible Spending Account funds to be carried over.

Any unused funds remaining in your Health Flexible Spending Account after all claims have been processed for that Plan Year will be forfeited.

When You Have a Life Status Change You are allowed to change your enrollment elections during a Plan Year if you have a Life Status Change. You have 30 days after a Life Status Change to enroll in the FSA if enrolling is consistent with the Life Status Change event and you are Actively-at-Work when you elect to enroll. In other words, you may only change your election if the Life Status Change causes you, your Spouse or your child to gain or lose eligibility for coverage under this or another plan. The election change must correspond with the nature of the status change.

To add or delete coverage, notify your Employer. Complete the enrollment requirements, including providing proof, and paying any required contributions within 30 days of the Life Status Change event. The plan administrator will use its discretion to determine if changes are consistent, and will also determine what information will be required to provide proof of any change in status. If you don’t meet the 30-day deadline, you will not be allowed to enroll in the FSA until the next annual enrollment period.

If you enroll:

Your Plan coverage starts on the date of the Life Status Change or the date you tell the Plan about it – whatever date is later.

The amount that you elect to contribute will be divided by the number of pay periods remaining in the year. Your Employer will begin deducting Pre-tax Contributions from your pay with the next available pay cycle after you complete your enrollment.

Only Covered Expenses that you incur on or after the date your coverage starts will be eligible for reimbursement from your FSA.

HC-FSA5 V1

Cost and Contributions Cost Typically you pay the entire cost of the Health Care FSA.

These contributions are free from federal income and Social Security taxes, as well as most state and local income taxes.

The contributions are deducted from your pay and deposited into a trust fund that holds Health Care FSA contributions.

Your Employer may contribute to your FSA but in most cases the FSA is funded solely by making Pre-tax Contributions each pay period through payroll deductions. Generally, your Employer makes no contributions to your Health Care FSA.

Health Care FSA administrative expenses are paid for by City of Miami and by contributions that participants forfeit under the Use-It-or-Lose-It Rule. See the “Definitions” section for more information.

How Much You Can Contribute The amount you can contribute into your Health Care FSA is limited for each Plan Year. Refer to the “Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) At-A-Glance” section of this document to view your maximum contribution amount.

Health Care FSA Reimbursement Account Limitations Reimbursements for outlined expenses will only be made if reimbursement is not made from any other health plan, insurance policy or benefit plan covering you, your lawful Spouse or your dependents.

Reimbursement for outlined expenses will only be made for eligible health expenses incurred during the year (and in the case of new employees, only during the portion of the year after participation began).

Excess Contributions: Use-It-or-Lose-It-Rule If a balance remains in your account after the Plan Year’s reimbursements have been processed, this amount will be forfeited. This is an IRS imposed Use-It-or-Lose-It-Rule. It requires that you forfeit any money that remains in your Health Care FSA after you have received reimbursement for all timely claimed Covered Expenses that you incurred during the Plan Year. To avoid forfeiting any remaining FSA Balance, all claims must be received by Cigna no later than the date identified in the section entitled “Your Flexible myCigna.com7

Spending Account (FSA) At-A-Glance” as the last date to submit claims to Cigna.

Excess Contributions: Carryover and the Use-It-or-Lose-It Rule You will be able to carry over into the next Plan Year any unused funds remaining in your account after the Plan Year’s reimbursements have been paid, providing the funds remaining meet the criteria established by your Plan for Carryover (i.e., your year-end FSA balance is greater than the minimum and less that the maximum amount allowed to carry over). Any unused funds over the maximum amount or under the minimum amount allowed to be carried over and remaining in your FSA account after all claims have been processed for that Plan Year will be forfeited. To avoid forfeiting any remaining FSA balance, all claims must be received by Cigna no later than the date identified in the section entitled “Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) At- A-Glance” as the last date to send in claims for reimbursement.

When You Make Contributions Your Employer deducts your Plan contribution from your pay each pay period. These are Pre-tax Contributions. Your Employer credits the deducted amounts to your Health Care FSA over the course of the Plan Year. Here is how the deduction amounts are calculated:

If you enroll during the annual enrollment period, the amount that you elect to contribute for a Plan Year is divided by the number of pay periods in the Plan Year. Your first contribution will be on the date identified in the section entitled “Your FSA At-A-Glance” and will continue on each pay period for the remainder of the Plan Year.

If you enroll after the beginning of a Plan Year, the amount that you elect to contribute for a Plan Year is divided by the number of pay periods remaining in the Plan Year.

Even though you contribute to your FSA over the course of the Plan Year, the full amount that you elect to contribute for the Plan Year is available for reimbursement of Covered Expenses at the beginning of the Plan Year (or the effective date of your participation, if later).

When Your Contributions Stop Your right to contribute to your FSA will stop when:

You cancel your coverage, if permitted because of a life status change;

You transfer to an ineligible employee status;

Your employment with City of Miami terminates (including retirement) and you decline continuation of coverage under federal law (i.e., COBRA);

You fail to make the necessary monthly contributions under COBRA to your FSA;

You die; or Your Employer terminates the Plan.

You or your Covered Dependents may continue to submit claims for reimbursement of Covered Expenses you incur before the date your contributions stop. Those claims must be received by Cigna no later than the timeframe identified on the page titled Your Flexible Spending Account At-A-Glance.

You may be reimbursed for FSA claims up to your entire remaining FSA Balance, even if your claims exceed the amount of your actual contributions to your FSA.

Effect of Health Care FSA Contributions on Other Plans Your Health Care FSA contributions will not affect other pay-related benefits, such as 401(k), life insurance and disability income because your “eligible earnings” for those benefit plans is calculated BEFORE your salary is reduced.

Effect of Health Care FSA Contributions on Social Security Your Health Care FSA contributions will reduce the amount you pay in Social Security taxes so your future Social Security benefits may be slightly reduced.

HC-FSA6 V3

Covered Expenses You can use your FSA to pay for many of the types of expenses that qualify for a federal income tax deduction.

You cannot request reimbursement for an expense through your FSA and then deduct the same expense on your federal income tax return (or your Spouse’s federal income tax return).

Whose Expenses Can Be Covered You can use your FSA to pay Covered Expenses for yourself and your Covered Dependents.

Your Covered Dependents include:

Your lawful Spouse;

Your child, who includes your natural or legally-adopted child; a child placed with you for adoption; and your stepchild (that is, the natural or legally-adopted child of your current legal Spouse) but only if the child is under age 26; and Any other qualifying child or relative you may claim as a dependent for federal income tax purposes.

myCigna.com8

Because the Health Care FSA is subject to federal tax rules, federal law determines who can be your Covered Dependents

– and have their expenses covered – under the Plan.

What Expenses Are Covered Covered Expenses under the Health Care FSA consist of any expense for medical care as defined in IRS Code Section 213.

The following list includes some of the most common eligible expenses. For additional information, refer to IRS Publication 502, visit the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov or visit www.cigna.com/expenses.

All Deductibles, Coinsurance and Copayments charged to an individual (not premiums or payroll contributions) under any medical or dental plan.

All Coinsurance and Copayments charged to an individual for prescriptions.

All expenses charged by a licensed physician or dentist for treatment of a medical case provided in the doctor’s or dentist’s office, in a hospital, in the individual’s home or at the place of an accident and not already paid by insurance.

Routine physical exams.

Immunizations.

Vision related supplies (i.e. eyeglasses, contact lenses and supplies).

The following is a list of some of the most common items that require a letter of medical necessity (or prescription) proving it is a treatment for illness or medical condition:

Massage.

Fitness program, gym membership or fitness equipment.

Alternative health treatments.

Over-the-Counter Drugs, Medicines and Medical Supplies Over-the-Counter Drugs and Medicines Over-the-counter drugs and medicines are reimbursable through a Health Care FSA. An itemized receipt must be submitted.

For example, the cost of pain relievers like aspirin or acetaminophen, cough syrup, allergy medicines, and antacid relievers that you purchase is reimbursable without a prescription.

Over-the-Counter Medical Supplies Over-the-counter medical supplies and equipment, such as crutches or bandages, are Covered Expenses and are reimbursable without a prescription.

Other Over-the-Counter Items The cost of other types of over-the-counter items used for general wellness, such as cosmetics, toiletries and nutritional supplements (for example vitamins) are NOT Covered Expenses and are not reimbursable.

See section entitled “Claims for Reimbursement” for information on the documentation that you must submit to claim reimbursement for over-the-counter items that are Covered Expenses.

HC-FSA16 01-20

Coordination With Your Medical Plan Option Your employer may also offer a Cigna Medical Plan Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). You may enroll in both the Cigna Medical Plan HSA or HRA option and the Health Care FSA, but there are some restrictions imposed by federal law on how these plans work together.

If you are enrolled in an HRA and the Health Care FSA, when your medical claim is processed and you have out-of-pocket expenses, they may be reimbursed from your HRA fund or Health Care FSA. Please contact your plan administrator for additional details.

You may also use a Health Care FSA for eligible expenses that are not covered by an HRA Medical Plan option, such as the cost of eyeglasses and certain over-the-counter medication, although you may need a prescription. See section entitled “Over-the-Counter Drugs, Medicines and Medical Supplies”.

HC-FSA8 V1

Claims For Reimbursement How to File a Claim for Reimbursement You can visit www.myCigna.com to use the Online Reimbursement Request form or download a FSA claim form.

The following general steps should be followed in order to file a reimbursement claim:

Complete the employee portion of the reimbursement claim form in full. Answer all questions, even if the answer is “none” or “N/A” (not applicable).

Attach all necessary documentation of expenses including your Explanation of Benefits, to the reimbursement claim myCigna.com9 form. When you have health care expenses for which an Explanation of Benefits is not provided, such as the cost of eyeglasses, submit an itemized receipt for the expense along with your claim for reimbursement.

When you submit claims for health care expenses, you must provide a written statement (Explanation of Benefits) from an independent third party stating that the expense has been incurred and the amount of the expense, a written statement (Explanation of Benefits) that the expense has been reimbursed or is not reimbursable under any other plan coverage, and a written statement (Explanation of Benefits) that the amount will not be claimed as a tax deduction.

If you file paper claims, you should submit them for each individual. Please do not attach or staple claims together. If additional information is needed to process your claim or the claim of your dependent, you will be notified. If you receive a letter regarding your claim, prompt completion and return of the letter with any requested attachments will expedite processing of the claim. The claim will be denied for lack of necessary information if the information requested in the letter is not supplied within forty-five (45) days. If you submit the requested information after the 45-day period, this will be treated as a new submission of the claim.

Send complete information to:

Cigna HealthCare Post Office Box 182223 Chattanooga, TN 37422-7223 Or send by facsimile to: 423-553-8953 The Online Reimbursement Request form can be used to submit expenses for multiple patients.

If you have questions regarding your claim, please call the number on the back of your ID card or 1-800-Cigna24.

Reimbursements from your flexible health care reimbursement account in an amount up to your annual election amount will be made at the time the reimbursement claim is processed.

All claims will be processed and paid as identified in the section entitled “Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) At- A-Glance”. Please note Cigna can only receive claims during regular business hours. Claims filed outside of business hours are recorded as received the next business day.

All requests for benefits may be filed at any time during the year and within the 3-month period immediately following the end of the year.

AutoPay (Auto Claim Forwarding) for Medical Claims If you enroll in a Cigna Medical Plan Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) option and you elect AutoPay, your eligible unpaid health care expenses can be automatically forwarded to your Health Care FSA for consideration. This automated process eliminates the need to submit separate FSA reimbursement requests for these expenses:

Once you have used up the money in your HRA fund, any remaining out-of-pocket expenses that you have to pay after your medical claims are processed are automatically forwarded to your Health Care FSA for reimbursement.

The doctor, hospital or other health care professional will be paid directly for your share of the cost of your covered health care expenses up to the amount available in your Health Care FSA.

Both you and the health care professional will receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) that describes the Health Care FSA payment.

Routine vision expenses are not eligible for AutoPay.

For prescriptions, when you use an in-network pharmacy or Cigna Home Delivery Pharmacy, the Health Care FSA will automatically pay out-of-pocket expenses (Deductible, Coinsurance) when a prescription is filled, up to the amount available in your Health Care FSA.

You can elect AutoPay by visiting www.myCigna.com.

General Rules for AutoPay AutoPay will apply only to Covered Expenses for services or supplies covered by your Cigna Medical Plan and Cigna Dental Plan PPO and Dental Select options. It will not apply, for example, to contact lenses, hearing aids and over-the-counter Covered Expenses. In addition, you will still need to save all your receipts, even for automatically submitted claims, in case of a payment discrepancy. Unless AutoPay is turned on prior to a service being received, that service is not eligible for payment by AutoPay.

AutoPay also is not available:

If you or a Covered Dependent have any other coverage, including secondary coverage, under a different health care plan. In that case, you must submit your health care claim to both plans for payment. Once the claim has been processed by both plans, you can submit a Health Care FSA claim with supporting documentation for any remaining amounts you need to pay.

If you are covering a dependent under your Cigna Medical Plan who does not qualify as a Covered Dependent under the Health Care FSA Plan.

You can change your election for AutoPay at any time by visiting www.myCigna.com.

Flexible Spending Account Debit Cards The Flexible Spending Account Debit Card can be used to pay eligible expenses at your health care professional’s office, dentist’s office, pharmacies and hospitals. Most, but not all myCigna.com10 debit card transactions at these locations will be automatically substantiated; however, in some cases, you may be asked to submit proof, such as an itemized receipt, of your debit card purchases.

Claims Determination Procedures The Claims Administrator will provide you with notice of the claim determination within a reasonable period of time, but no later than 30 days after receipt of the claim. This time period will be delayed, if the plan requests additional information, until the requested information is received by the plan. The plan may also request a 15 day extension if matters beyond its control require the extension and notice is provided to you within the 30 day period.

If your claim is denied in whole or in part, the notice will include:

The specific reason or reasons for the denial.

References to Plan provisions on which the denial is based.

A description of any additional information or material needed to approve your claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary.

A description of the Plan’s procedures for appealing the decision and a statement of your rights to bring a civil action under ERISA.

A statement that you may request a copy, free of charge, of any internal rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion that was relied upon in denying your claim.

When Claims Are Paid Once a Health Care FSA claim is approved, a payment check will be issued.

Except for claims submitted through AutoPay, Health Care FSA payments are always made to you and cannot be made directly to the provider of services.

Approved healthcare claims will be paid in full up to the amount of your Health Care FSA balance even if your claims exceed the amount of your actual contributions to FSA.

Deadline for Filing Claims You must submit FSA claims for Covered Expenses incurred during a Plan Year by the date identified in the section entitled “Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) At-A-Glance” as the last date to submit claims to Cigna of the following year. Any claim received after that date will NOT be processed.

Under the IRS’s Use-It-or-Lose-It Rule, you will forfeit any funds left in your FSA beyond the maximum amount allowed under Carryover after payment of all timely submitted claims for expenses you incur during the Plan Year.

FSA Statements You will receive a written explanation for every Health Care FSA payment made from your account. The explanation will show the amount paid and your current account balance. You will receive paper copies unless you indicate a preference at www.myCigna.com to receive these explanations by online delivery only.

Appeals Procedure To initiate an appeal, you must submit a request for an appeal in writing to Cigna within 180 days of receipt of a denial notice. You should state the reason why you feel your appeal should be approved and include any information supporting your appeal. If you are unable to or choose not to write, you may ask Cigna to register your appeal by telephone at the toll-free number on your Benefit Identification card, explanation of benefits, or claim form. Your appeal will be reviewed and the decision made by someone not involved in the initial decision. We will respond in writing with a decision within 60 calendar days after we receive an appeal for a reimbursement determination. If more time or information is needed to make the determination, we will notify you in writing to request an extension of up to 15 calendar days and to specify any additional information needed to complete the review.

Legal Action If your plan is governed by ERISA, you have the right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA if you are not satisfied with the outcome of the Appeals Procedure. In most myCigna.com11 instances, you may not initiate a legal action against Cigna until you have completed the appeal process.

Administrative Information Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) Your Employer’s Health Care FSA Plan will comply with the terms of a QMCSO. A QMCSO is a judgment, decree, or order that is issued by a court or through an administrative process established under state law that assigns to a child the right of a participant to receive benefits under an employer-provided health plan, and that the Plan Administrator has determined is qualified under the terms of ERISA and applicable state law.

If you have questions about or wish to obtain a copy of the procedures governing a QMCSO determination (at no charge), contact the Plan Administrator.

Optional Continuation Coverage To the extent mandated by federal law, you will be allowed to continue coverage under the Health Care FSA even after your termination of employment. Such coverage, however, will require you to continue making the deposits you have elected on an after tax basis.

If You Have Questions If you have questions about continuation coverage, you should contact your Plan Administrator.

In administering the Plan, the Plan and Claims Administrators may come into contact with what is considered “protected health information” (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Cigna and the Plan Administrator have taken specific steps to protect and limit access to this information. For example, Cigna has:

Designated a Privacy Officer;

Developed privacy policies and procedures, including a sanctions policy that applies to employees and business partners who violate privacy policies;

Implemented safeguards to protect against improper disclosure of PHI;

Provided a complaint resolution process; and Entered into agreements requiring its business associates to safeguard PHI.

As part of the compliance efforts, a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices is provided to employees. If you would like to review the privacy policies, receive another copy of the privacy notice or just need more information, please contact the Plan Administrator.

The people who operate your plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union, or any other person may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.
