Littleton Public Schools offers several options for employees under its Section 125 Plan including paying for your benefits with pre-tax dollars, a Health Flexible Spending Account (Health FSA), Limited Purpose (Dental/Vision) FSA, Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (Dependent Care FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) for those who are enrolled in the Cigna Consumer Driven Health Plan with HSA or Kaiser High Deductible Health Plan with HSA. The district contributes to employees HSA (subject to Board of Education approval each year) based on the employee's enrollment level in HSA qualified plans. Employee contributions through payroll deduction to these plans are not subject to federal or state income taxes, Medicare taxes, and in most cases PERA contributions.

You must complete the enrollment form and required information in order to enroll in any of these plans. If you do not enroll in these plans upon hire, your next opportunity to enroll will be during open enrollment unless you have a change in family/employment status as defined by the IRS.

Deductions from your pay on a pre-tax and Pre-PERA basis allow you to pay your share of required insurance premiums. Once you enroll, these premium contributions will be deducted automatically on a pre-tax and pre-PERA basis until you elect to stop or complete a new enrollment form electing your portion to be deducted on an after-tax basis.

Employees may put up to $5,000 annually in a Dependent Care FSA through monthly payroll deductions to pay for dependent care expenses necessary because you (and your spouse) are working. This money can then be claimed by the employee for reimbursement by submitting receipts for day care expenses to Rocky Mountain Reserve.

Eligible employees in 2024 can put up to $3,200 per plan year in their Health FSA through monthly payroll deductions. The money may then be claimed by the employee for unreimbursed medical expenses (expenses not covered by insurance such as RX, coinsurance, copayments, deductibles, and non-covered vision or dental expenses). Expenses must be incurred within the plan year and must be claimed within 90 days of the end of the plan year or are forfeited under IRS regulations. This plan is administered by Rocky Mountain Reserve.

Employees who participate in the Cigna Consumer Driven Open Access-In Network Health Plan with Health Savings Account (CDHP/HSA) or Kaiser High Deductible Health Plan with Health Savings Account (HDHP/HSA) are not eligible for the Health FSA.

RMR Limited FSA Enrollment Guide

Eligible employees who are enrolled in the Cigna Consumer Driven Open Access-In Network Health Plan or Kaiser High Deductible Health Plan will receive a district contribution (subject to Board of Education approval each year) toward their HSA and may contribute additional funds (up to the annual IRS limits based on their CDHP/HDHP enrollment) through payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis. Unlike the FSA accounts, the HSA account belongs to the employee and is portable even when the employee retires or leaves district employment.
