Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
GPISD offers two Flexible Spending Accounts, a Dependent Care Account and a Medical Reimbursement Account. Both accounts are used for qualified expenses as outlined by the IRS. The Dependent Care Account may be used to cover day care costs with qualified cay care providers for children under age 13 and who reside with you more than 50% of the year.  Additionally, a Dependent Care Account may be used for a qualifying dependent who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care, resides with you more than 50% of the year and is in need of care so that you and your spouse can work.

The Medical Reimbursement Account allows you to pay for qualified medical expenses with pretax dollars. Both of these accounts are "use or lose" accounts; if the funds are not used by the annual published grace period, they are forfeited. The maximum annual contribution limits are set by the IRS. You must keep all itemized receipts to support your charges.

Health Savings Account (HSA)
An HSA is designed to help you pay for qualified medical expenses with pretax dollars. The annual maximum contribution limit is set by the IRS, and individuals age 55 or older may contribute an additional $1,000 annually. This is NOT a "use or lose" account, and funds roll over year to year. Individuals contributing to an HSA must also be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan, and may not be contributing to an FSA at the same time. HSA contributions may be stopped, increased or decreased anytime throughout the year. For more information about an HSA please contact Employee Benefits.

 Guardian Dental
GPISD is pleased to offer Guardian Dental as our dental provider for both the PPO and DHMO plans. A PPO gives you the flexibility to choose your provider and specialists without a referral (choosing in-network providers incurs the lowest cost).  Dental HMO requires that you have a treating dentist at the time of enrollment, and uses a schedule of benefit co-payments for service and care. You can contact Guardian and change your primary care dentist at any time.  If you are a full-time employee, you may purchase a dental plan for you and your legal taxable dependents.

  Basic & Supplemental Term Life 
GPISD provides Group Basic Term Life Insurance paid by the district in the amount of $25,000 for all eligible employees. Group life insurance allows you to purchase additional affordable life insurance on yourself, spouse and dependent children.  This term life insurance is in effect during your employment with Galena Park ISD.    Aside from paying your named beneficiary at the time of your passing, the policy may also pay an accelerated death benefit which can pay if you become terminally ill with a life expectancy of less than 12 months (stipulations apply). This benefit is available to full-time employees only.

   Texas Life Voluntary Permanent Life Insurance
Texas Life offers life insurance with coverage through the age of 121 and is available to you, as well as other family members such as your legal spouse, children and grandchild(ren). Texas Voluntary Permanent Life Insurance is different than Supplemental Term Life offered through Dearborn because Texas Life is portable, and you may take it with you if you separate from service. The base life insurance premium on your initial policy is guaranteed to never increase, and the policy offers an Accelerated Death Benefit Rider for terminal illnesses.

   Long Term Disability
Long Term Disability (LTD) coverage is important because anyone at any age may become injured or ill for an extended period of time. If you are a newly eligible employee, your coverage will be effective on the first day of the month following the date you enroll (as long as you enroll within 30 days of your date of eligibility). You may elect an LTD benefit that is in multiples of $100, from $200 to $7,500 per month, as long as your monthly benefit is no more than 70% of your base monthly earnings. If you apply for a benefit amount exceeding $5,000/month, only the first $5,000 will be effective on the first of the month following your date of enrollment. Coverage in excess of $5,000 requires completed Evidence of Insurability application before coverage is approved/effective.
If you become disabled and are disabled for longer than 6 months, your benefit may be reduced by other sources of income you receive. See plan for details.
