Eagle County is a member of Colorado County Officials & Employee Retirement Association (CCOERA). All full-time employees are required to participate as a condition of employment. Employees may choose to contribute 3%, 4%, 5% or 6%. The County will match the percentage you choose. Employees may self-direct their contributions into certain investments as allowed by CCOERA. Vesting occurs at 25% per year starting with your first year of contributing (i.e. 00/25/50/75/100%). Employees are totally vested after participating in the retirement plan for five years. Employees 55 years of age and older, as well as elected officials are always 100% vested in the County’s retirement plans.
What’s the difference?
With a traditional 457(b) plan, your contributions are made before taxes, so you save on your current tax bill. Contributions and earnings grow taxdeferred, and withdrawals at retirement are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Benefit = up front tax savings and tax-deferred growth.
With a Roth 457(b) plan, your contributions are made on an after-tax basis; taxes on the contributed amount are paid up front and there is no current tax break. Contributions and earnings grow tax-free and can be withdrawn tax-free at retirement if certain conditions are met. Benefit = tax-free growth and distributions when you retire.
Is Roth right for you?
You have a decision to make. Your decision boils down to whether you want to contribute pretax or after-tax dollars, and that may depend on your goals and financial circumstances. If you expect your tax bracket to be lower in retirement than it is now, it may make sense to contribute to a traditional plan and take advantage of the tax break now. However, if you expect your tax bracket to be the same or higher in retirement, it may make sense to contribute to a Roth 457(b) and benefit from tax-free withdrawals later. You are eligible to contribute both Pre-Tax 457(b) and Roth 457(b).
• After-tax Contributions (taxes prepaid)
• Tax-free Investment Earnings
• Future Withdrawals are 100% Tax-free upon separation from employment, if held at least 5 yrs and to age 59 ½
• Before-tax Contributions (taxes postponed)
• Tax-deferred Investment Earnings
• Future Withdrawals are Fully Taxable upon separation from employment
Employees may participate in the 457b plan immediately upon hire. Employees may self-direct their contributions. Anyone under the age of 50 may contribute up to a total of $18,000 (2015). Employees 50 years of age and older may contribute up to an additional $6,000 catch-up amount. These amounts may be adjusted for 2016. Eagle County matches 2% of the employee contribution amount.
Under FMLA, eligible employee’s jobs and benefits are protected for up to 12 weeks for the birth and care of a newborn, serious health conditions of the employee, their spouse, child, parent or an adoption. Employees must use all available medical and personal leave time. As part of the 12 weeks once medical and personal leave has been exhausted, the remaining time of leave is unpaid.
13
Medical leave is available for regular employees working 20 hours or more per week for use when an employee is unable to perform his/her job duties for medical reasons, scheduled examinations, or to care for an injured or ill member of the family. Medical leave will be pro-rated according to FTE (fulltime equivalency) for part-time employees. Full-time employees accrue medical leave at 3.38 hours per pay period, up to a maximum of 320 hours.

Family Heritage is an industry-leading provider of life and supplemental health insurance products to families and businesses throughout America.
Family Heritage offers products that are in greater need now than ever, paying cash directly to families dealing with illness and accidents.

If you keep your policy in force for a number of years as specified in your policy, and if you pay all your premiums, you will receive all your money back, minus the total amount of claims that have been paid to you.
A $300 wellness benefit is available to employees for the purchase of wellness related expenses. This is a taxable benefit. An additional $150 benefit can be earned if a spouse also participates. Contact Human Resources for further details.
Eagle County has special discounted programs with the Gypsum Recreation Center and the Eagle Ranch Fitness Center.
Employees may have their bi-weekly pay checks directly deposited into a maximum of three each checking and/or savings accounts at any bank of their choice.
Eagle County Government wants to encourage and support our employees in their efforts to give back to the community. Full-time employees working
30 hours or more hours per week who have been employed for at least six months are eligible to receive up to eight hours per calendar year of paid leave for the purpose of volunteering. Part-time employees are eligible for up to four hours.
United Way Eagle River Valley provides support for those in need in our valley. This local support can make a big difference to our neighbors’ quality of life. Payroll deduction is available which makes it easy for employees interested in making a contribution.

Free Colorado Mountain College classes

Part-time employees accrue on a pro-rated basis. Leave accrual is capped at 240 hours. Accrued personal leave is paid out to employees who leave the
County if they have been employed for at least three months.
The County offers Funeral Leave of 40 hours for immediate family. We also offer Funeral Leave of 8 hours for extended family or a personal friend.
Employees ride free of charge. Just like your employee ID, the employee bus pass is for your exclusive use and cannot be transferred or sold.
Eagle County offers a service recognition program for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of service.

The County is committed to a safe work environment for employees. Employees should report any unsafe practices or conditions to their supervisor.
If medical treatment for an on-the-job injury is needed, it must be obtained from one of the County’s designated physicians. If not, the employee may be responsible for the cost of medical treatment. If the injury requires immediate emergency treatment, employees and supervisors should utilize the nearest emergency facility or notify “911” for assistance.

Federal regulations require Eagle County to provide benefits-eligible employees with the following notices:
A portion of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) addresses the protection of confidential health information. It applies to all health benefit plans. In short, the idea is to make sure that confidential health information that identifies (or could be used to identify) you is kept completely confidential. This individually identifiable health information is known as “protected health information” (PHI), and it will not be used or disclosed without your written authorization, except as described in the Plans HIPAA Privacy Notice or as otherwise permitted by federal and state health information privacy laws, A copy of the Plan’s Notice of Privacy Practices that describes the Plan’s policies, practices and your rights with respect to your PHI under HIPPM is available from your medical plan provider. For more information regarding this Notice, please contact Human Resources or the medical plan directly.
On October 21, 1998, Congress passes a bill called the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act. This new law requires group health plans that provides coverage for mastectomy to provide coverage for certain reconstructive services. These services include:
• All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed
• Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance
• Prostheses and treatment of physical complications resulting from mastectomy (including lymphedema)
• Interfere with a woman’s rights under the plan to avoid these requirements
• Offer inducements to the health provider, or assess penalties against the health provider, in an attempt to interfere with the requirements of
the law.
This coverage will be provided in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, and will be subject to the same annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions that apply to the mastectomy. For more information, contact your medical plan provider.
If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in the Eagle County health plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards you or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment in writing within 30 days after you or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage). In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents, provided that you request enrollment in writing within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoptions, or placement for adoption. For more information, contact Human Resources.
Eagle County provides a “Notice of Prescription Drug Creditable Coverage” to all Medicare-eligible participants on an annual basis. This notice states that under the Eagle County medical plan, you have prescription drug coverage that is, on average, as generous as the standard Medicare prescription Drug
Coverage. A copy of this notice is also available upon request from Human Resources.

Effective January 1, 2014, Federal law requires that you have Health Care coverage or you may be subject to an income tax penalty. You can enroll in
Eagle County’s health plan, or you may want to consider visiting www.healthcare.gov for information on health plans available through the Healthcare
Marketplace in your area.
If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you are eligible for health coverage from your employer, your State may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage. These States use funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs to help people who are eligible for these programs, but also have access to health insurance through their employer. If you or your children are not eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you will not be eligible for these premium assistance programs. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, you can contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available.
If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, you can contact your State Medicaid at www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, you can ask the State if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan.
Once it is determined that you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must permit you to enroll in your employer plan if you are not already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, you can contact the Department of Labor electronically at www.askebsa.dol.gov
