Open Enrollment 2019—New Health Insurance Options
Last year, 21 million people insured through their employer enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) and health savings account (HSA) to take advantage of a tax benefit that can help save money on qualified medical expenses. Beginning January 1, 2019, benefits-eligible faculty and staff will have the option to enroll in a HSA-qualified health care plan and begin making pretax deposits into their HSA. Plan participants can choose to withdraw funds from their HSA to pay for health care expenses incurred in 2019 or can save their funds to help pay for future medical expenses. Either way, HSA withdrawals are tax-free when used to pay for qualified medical expenses. Funds in the HSA are the participant’s. They do not expire but remain in the account until they are used. Stay tuned to learn more about these plans and the option Loyola will offer in 2019.

Retirement Savings Reminder
The amount and timing of your contributions to the Loyola University Chicago defined contribution retirement plan impacts Loyola’s matching contributions. To maximize Loyola’s matching contributions in 2018, consider contributing a fixed percentage of wages per pay period. Be sure that total contributions do not exceed the maximum annual limit ($18,500 or $24,500 if age 50 or older). Take into account special eligible earnings, since contributions based on this pay count toward your annual maximum. Log in to your Transamerica Retirement account to view or make changes to your contribution amount. Select “View” on the appropriate account. Choose “Manage” in the left menu, and select “Contributions.” In addition, please log in to your account and review your contact information, including the beneficiary designation, as many participants have not designated a contact.
