Please be advised that if an Active employee enrolls in PERSCare, he/she must pay the difference between PERSCare and PERS Choice.
PERSCare is a plan designed to work along with Medicare. In order to enroll in the PERSCare medical plan with District-paid premium, you must be 65 years of age or older with Medicare A & B.

Important Reminders:
These reminders should help you to determine whether to enroll in the FSA and, if so, for how much.
The HRA is used first and then the FSA
At the end of the year, any unused HRA balance will roll over and be added to that year's balance
Unused FSA funds do not roll over; therefore, any unused FSA balance at the end of the year will be forfeited
