HDESD Section 125 Information

American Fidelity is the vendor for all High Desert ESD Employees. 

SECTION 125 FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL BENEFIT ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES

*New employees complete and submit a Section 125 enrollment form to the payroll department no later than September 6, 2025.  Returning employees are eligible to make plan changes during open enrollment in November with the American Fidelity Representative when they visit the district. 

Important Facts to Consider:

1. If you purchased a high deductible health plan (Moda Plan 6 or 7) and have opened a Health Savings Account through American Fidelity or other financial institution, -you may NOT also use a Section 125 account for Medical Expense reimbursement.  Click here to read more about H.S.A.'s.

2. You "use it" or "lose it". All funds deducted from your paycheck for this plan year must be used during this plan year or the funds are forfeited.

3. Keep copies of all receipts and claims.

4. Dependent care must be provided by someone who is reporting his or her income. Payment to an individual who may be claimed by the employee as an exemption for federal tax purposes is not an eligible expense.   You may continue "Dependent Daycare Deductions" if you use a Health Savings Account (H.S.A.) for your medical expense reimbursement. 

5. You must re-enroll each year to participate.
