Universal Notice of 403(b) Eligibility
Pickerington Schools Annual 403(b) Plan Eligibility Notice
Pickerington Schools offers our eligible employees the opportunity to save for retirement by participating in the Pickerington Local Schools 403(b) Plan (the “403(b) plan”). You can participate in this plan by making pre-tax contributions. You are eligible to participate in this plan, whether or not you are actively contributing to it.
Not yet contributing to the 403(b) plan?
To start your contributions to the 403(b) plan, complete and return a salary reduction agreement to Pickerington Schools Treasurer’s Office Payroll Department. The agreement shall remain in full force until amended or terminated by written notice from the employee to Pickerington Schools. Not more than one amendment may be made per calendar quarter, although the agreement may be terminated at any time. Please note that in addition to completing and returning a salary reduction agreement, you must also establish an account with the appropriate investment provider or providers that you have selected on the salary reduction agreement and you may also need to provide any additional information that may be required to enroll you in the 403(b) plan.
Already contributing the 403(b) plan? Great news! You have an opportunity to increase your contributions to the 403(b) Plan.
If you are already currently contributing to the 403(b) plan, you may be able to increase your pre-tax contributions. To change your contributions, complete and return a salary reduction agreement to the Pickerington Schools Treasurer’s Office Payroll Department. The agreement shall remain in full force until amended or terminated by written notice from the employee to Pickerington Schools. Not more than one amendment may be made per calendar quarter, although the agreement may be terminated at any time.
Of course, you can keep your contributions at their current level. In the alternative, if your current financial situation means that you need to lower your saving for retirement, you can change your contribution rate by completing and returning a salary reduction agreement as described above.
How much can I contribute?
In general, you may contribute up to eighteen thousand dollars in 2017. This amount may be adjusted annually. Also, if you are at least fifty years old and/or you have completed at least fifteen years of service, you may also be able to make additional catch-up contributions. Each catch-up has its own limits.
This notice is not intended as tax or legal advice. Neither your employer nor the investment providers offering retirement savings products under the plan can provide you with tax or legal advice. Employees are encouraged to contact their financial representative or tax professional with any questions.
This sample universal availability notice is provided as a service to ING’s 403(b) plan sponsors to assist you in meeting the requirement under the final 403(b) regulations of notifying your employees on an annual basis of their eligibility to participate in the plan.

Affordable Care Act Info and Forms
The Affordable Care Act requires every American to have health insurance—and just like you need paperwork to prove you have auto insurance, you now need to prove you have health insurance. Your 1095-C Form is your proof of insurance.
Similar to your W-2 Form, which gives the IRS details about how you were paid, the 1095-C Form is a way to give the IRS information about your health insurance and help the agency verify that your coverage meets the requirements under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Simply, it’s a way for you to show the government that you’ve met your obligation under ACA to have health insurance. Without the 1095-C Form and the information contained in it, you may not be able to fully file your yearly income taxes and may be subject to a fine by the IRS (2% of your yearly household income or $325 per person for the year, whichever is higher).
You’ll use the information on the 1095-C Form to certify on your 1040 tax form that you have health insurance.
What you need to do
When you get it—keep it. Easy as that! You’ll use the form to complete your tax return and verify your coverage to the IRS.
Second, verify that personal information, company information, and family members’ information are all correct.
If you see errors on your form, contact Rick Knapp in payroll.

Options for Medical Care after Employee Accident/Exposure
When obtaining medical care, the employee must tell the physician it is a work-related injury.
First visit
The first visit to any medical provider, whether an emergency or non-emergency, is covered for a work-related injury considered compensable by the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.
All other visits
After the first visit, if an employee obtains medical care for a work-related injury from a medical provider other than those noted below, workers’ compensation insurance may not cover the costs and the employee may have to pay for the services.
- Emergency room
- Urgent care facility
- BWC certified physician
To get the name of a BWC Certified Physician, call 1.800.OHIOBWC on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or visit the Bureau of Workers Compensation website provider lookup. If you are unsure who is a BWC certified physician, it is recommended you go to an emergency room or urgent care facility.
If your claim is denied by the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, you have the right to appeal within 14 days of the claim denial date. You will be notified by the BWC with instructions on how to proceed

Employee Accident and Exposure Reporting Procedures
The following procedures are applicable to all accidents, injuries and blood exposure incidents. Adherence to these instructions will facilitate your care and return to work. If you have any questions, call the benefits coordinator at 614.920.6119. All records are held confidential with the payroll coordinator.
Step 1
Your health is the first priority! Don’t hesitate to seek professional care for a medical emergency.
A medical emergency is defined as: a) medical services required for the immediate diagnosis or treatment of a medical condition that if not immediately diagnosed or treated could lead to a serious physical or mental disability or death, or b) medical services that are immediately necessary to alleviate severe pain.
Step 2
Immediately submit an Employee Accident/Exposure Incident Report. Click here to submit an accident report online.
On that site, click on “Report an Employee Accident,” then click on “Submit Accident Report.” If you do not have a username or password, leave it blank and proceed in completing the report. Enter all information requested and follow the steps to submit your report.
Based on the information submitted, Public School Works may require the employee to take additional safety classes. An automatic email notification from personnel will be sent by the system if applicable. Please complete the necessary training and submit the completed paperwork to the payroll coordinator located at District Office.
For assistance, contact your immediate supervisor or the school nurse. For further assistance, call the Payroll Coordinator at 614.834.2148. The Employee Accident/Exposure Incident Report should be completed by the injured/affected employee; however, if necessary, another employee can complete the report with the assistance of the affected employee.
