Dental Insurance

Dental coverage is provided by Delta Dental.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Spending accounts allow you to set aside money to pay for eligible expenses with tax-free dollars. The spending accounts offer significant tax advantages because you don’t pay Social Security, federal or state taxes on the portion of your income that you contribute to your spending account. The money is not taxable under federal law.

• Health care spending account – Use this account to cover the cost of health, dental, vision and hearing expenses which are not covered under an insurance plan for you and your dependents. You may contribute up to $3,000 per year.
• Dependent care spending account – Use this account to cover the cost of dependent care while you work. You may use this for expenses for the care of a child under age 13 or a disabled spouse, child or parent.

Employee Retirement Plans

403b Retirement Plan

If you are an eligible non-contract employee, you will be automatically enrolled in the plan unless you take action within the first 30 days of your hire or your plan eligibility. The automatic enrollment gives you a 3 percent deferral and investment in the Fidelity Freedom Fund that correlates to your birth date. You may increase your deferral amount within plan limits and direct your investment choices.

401a Retirement Plan

Eligible Cerenity Senior Care employees are covered under the Cerenity Employee Retirement Plan.

There is a 5-year vesting schedule – you earn 20 percent towards vesting each year you work 1,000 hours. You do not contribute to this plan.
