Benefits

NAPEBT

The City of Flagstaff is part of a consortium, the Northern Arizona Public Employees Benefit Trust (NAPEBT), which was formed to provide comprehensive and cost-effective benefits to employees of the City of Flagstaff, Coconino County, Coconino County Community College, Flagstaff Unified School District, Mountain Line, KVID, and Coconino County Accommodation School by combining resources and leveraging buying power. The result is a better benefits package than any of the employers could offer individually, which keeps benefits costs down for employees.

No city employee may remain as a dependent under another NAPEBT employer's benefits, with the exception of a dependent child under the age of 26 per the ACA. This includes all benefits.

Health Savings Accounts & Flexible Spending Accounts - Health Equity

Employees may choose to participate in a Heath Savings Account (HSA), if eligible, if they are enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).

Employees may choose to participate in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) if they are in the Base or Buy Up plan.

Dependent Care and Limited Purpose FSAs (DCFSA, LPFSA) may go with the HDHP and can go with an HSA.

HSA funds do not expire and you do not need to re-enroll every year to keep your HSA.

FSAs (LPFSA, DCFSA) do expire each year if the funds are not used. FSAs use the fiscal year, not calendar year. The FSA plan year is July 1 - June 30, the grace period from July 1 - September 15 to continue submitting claims, and the run-out period of July 1 - September 30. Claims must be incurred on or before September 15 and received or post marked by September 30. You must re-enroll in your FSA account during Open Enrollment every year to have the account for the next plan year. FSA funds do not rollover and any money remaining in the account at the end of the grace period does not get paid out.

Maximums contributed in to these two accounts (set by the IRS) are based on the calendar year but the election amount made by the employee is based on the fiscal year. This is most important for those with an FSA to watch for when you are first electing the account or when hired in earlier part of the year.

You can make changes to your HSA at any time, you do not need to wait for Open Enrollment. Make your account contribution changes on the Online Benefits Center, Me Benefits page and click Proceed until you reach the page for Spending Accounts. Select Enroll next to the account you which to change. Make sure after making changes, you click Proceed through the remaining pages of your benefits until you reach the Review & Submit page. You must click on Submit These Election on the bottom of the page for the changes to be saved.
