How to Enroll in the Flexible Spending Account for Medical (FSA Medical) or the Health Savings Account (HSA): -

-

If you enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan, HR will be creating your HSA Account in Tango. Once created HR will email you with instructions on how to activate it and set up your payroll deduction. Keep watch for an email with the subject line “ACTION ITEM: Activate Your HSA Account TODAY!” o HSA funds are NOT use-it-or-lose-it o See the Tango HSA FAQs for all things HSA related If you enrolled in the Traditional Co-Pay Medical Plan, HR will contact you to see if you want a Flexible Spending Account for Medical. o FSA Medical funds ARE use-it-or-lose-it. If you did not enroll in either of our Medical plans but would like to enroll in a Flexible Spending Account for Medical, please email Sarah Weiner (sweiner@myaspenheights.com) in HR during the Open Enrollment period to enroll.

How to Enroll in the Flexible Spending Account for Dependent Care (FSA Dependent Care): -

How to Find a BlueCross BlueShield of Texas Doctor: Yes, you still have BCBS of Texas coverage if you live outside Texas - we have great nationwide access to providers! It is important to make sure your doctor, lab, pharmacy, and any other service provider are in your Blue Cross network of providers before you go to receive care. To find an in-network provider: You can go to http://www.bcbstx.com/ Click on “Find a Doctor or Hospital” Click “Search Now” on the left vertical banner Toggle the “I’m looking for a doctor or hospital and I live in” field to North Carolina, click Start Search

-

Choose the Blue Choice PPO [BCA] Plan Network Scroll down and enter your criteria (zip code or doctor or facility name, etc.)


Additionally you can call Blue Cross at 800-521-2227 (Group #111544, Blue Cross Blue Choice PPO Network) as sometimes labs or practices don’t show up in these listings.

How to Find a MetLife In-Network Dentist: -

Go to https://www.metlife.com/individual/dental-insurance-center/index.html In the right hand column under Find a Dentist, enter your Zip code and select the PDP Plus Plan and hit “Go”

-

Reminder: If you are going to use all In-Network providers, you want to choose the In-Network plan. If you want to keep going to a dentist that is not in our network, you may want to choose the Out-of-Network plan because it will pick up more of your cost than the In-Network plan, but not as much as if you went to an In-Network provider with the In-Network plan.

How to Find a MetLife In-Network Vision Provider: - Go to www.metlife.com/mybenefits (Company Name “Brg Management”) - Log in (create an account if this is your first time) - Scroll down to Vision Benefits and enter your desired zip code in the Find a Provider field

Other FAQ’s: What’s changing? Do I need to log in if I have 2016 benefits? - Nothing in the Medical, Dental, or Vision is changing. These will “roll over” to 2017 with whatever selections you have now, unless you make changes during Open Enrollment. - ALL EMPLOYEES will need to ENROLL in the below plans if you want to have them for 2017 (they will NOT “roll over” from 2016): o MetLife Voluntary Life with AD&D o MetLife Short Term Disability o MetLife Long Term Disability When do these changes take effect? - Changes made during Open Enrollment will take effect January 1, 2017. When is my next opportunity to change/add/remove my benefits? - Your next chance to change your selection will be next year’s Annual Enrollment which will occur in November with changes taking effect January 1, 2018 (unless you have a Qualifying Event before then – see What is a Qualifying Event for more information). - NOTE: Short Term Disability and Long Term Disability are only available during your New Hire enrollment window and during Open Enrollment. It cannot be added later after a Life Event.


I am covered by someone else’s medical insurance (parents, spouse, etc). Should I enroll in Aspen Heights’ medical insurance also?  You will want to check to see if our coverage is more comprehensive and/or less expensive than keeping you on the other plan. If you enroll in our plan and you are also covered by another plan, your medical insurance through Aspen Heights will be your primary insurance (the one charged first) so there aren’t many scenarios where it makes sense to have a second insurance provider and it isn’t something generally recommended. If you have questions about your specific scenario, please contact CLS Partners to discuss (see contact information at the end of this email). I’m on my parents’ insurance and I’m getting close to turning 26 – what do I need to know?  Have your parents check with their insurance company and confirm that you will have coverage through the end of the month in which you turn 26.  You will have 30 days from the date you turn 26 to enroll in our benefits.  Email me once we get close to your birthday so I am aware of your status. I’m going to get married or have a baby in the next year – anything I need to know?  Email me once you know what your marriage month will be so I am aware of your status.  Email me once you/your partner know the month of the scheduled due date of your baby so I can be aware of your status.  You have 30 days from the date of the marriage or the baby’s birth to make changes to your benefits enrollments. You do NOT want to leave this until the last minute as there are multiple steps that need to be completed in a short amount of time. When will I get my insurance cards?  You should receive your Blue Cross insurance card within 2 weeks of your benefits effective date.  MetLife does not provide plastic Dental and Vision Cards therefore you will not receive any in the mail. You don’t technically need a card, just your group number (5932994) and your social security number. You can check your coverage by either dialing 1-800275-4638 (Dental) and 1-855-638-3931 (Vision) or you can access your profile within the MyBenefits site at www.metlife.com/mybenefits (Company Name “Brg Management Inc Dba Aspen Heights”) where you have the ability to view your coverage, find a provider, and print out an ID card similar to the ones attached. I am switching between plans or adding a new plan. When should I schedule my first appointment? - If you are already enrolled in the plan you should have no change in service. - If you are adding/changing between plans, I recommend waiting to schedule your first appointments until 1/15/17. It takes a while to get the coverage up and running and into all the appropriate databases. What if I need to go to the doctor or dentist but my provider says they can’t verify my benefits with the insurance company? - Sometimes this happens due to database errors between ADP and the carriers - Email Sarah Weiner in HR (sweiner@mysapenheights.com) and let her know the type of provider you are using (medical vs. dental, etc), when your appointment is, the contact information for the provider’s office, and who we should talk to. We will try to verbally verify your benefits for the provider.


What is our benefit plan year? - Our benefit plan year is January 1 – December 31st so your medical deductible will reset to zero on January 1st. What is a Qualifying Life Event? - A change in your situation — like getting married, having a baby, or losing health coverage — that can make you eligible for a Special Enrollment Period, allowing you to enroll in health insurance outside the yearly Open Enrollment Period.

Why this Matters: You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible. You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers.

타 Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. 타 Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the health plan's allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven't met your deductible. 타 The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.) 타 The plan may encourage you to use Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance amounts.

Questions and answers about Coverage Examples: What are some of the assumptions behind the Coverage Examples?

What does a Coverage Example show?

Can I use Coverage Examples to compare plans?

Ÿ Costs don’t include premiums. Ÿ Sample care costs are based on national averages supplied by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and aren’t specific to a particular geographic area or health plan. Ÿ The patient’s condition was not an excluded or preexisting condition. Ÿ All services and treatments started and ended in the same coverage period. Ÿ There are no other medical expenses for any member covered under this plan. Ÿ Out-of-pocket expenses are based only on treating the condition in the example. Ÿ The patient received all care from in-network providers. If the patient had received care from out-of-network providers, costs would have been higher.

For each treatment situation, the Coverage Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance can add up. It also helps you see what expenses might be left up to you to pay because the service or treatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.

Why this Matters: Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan document for additional information about excluded services.

2 of 9


타 Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. 타 Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the health plan's allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven't met your deductible. 타 The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.) 타 The plan may encourage you to use Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance amounts.

Common Questions … Important Answers Who is a participating dentist? A participating dentist is a general dentist or specialist who has agreed to accept negotiated fees as payment in full for services provided to plan members. Negotiated fees typically range from 15-45% below the average fees charged in a dentist’s community for the same or substantially similar services.* * Based on internal analysis by MetLife. Savings from enrolling in a dental benefits plan will depend on various factors, including how often members visit participating dentists and the cost for services rendered. Negotiated fees are subject to change. Negotiated fees for non-covered services may not apply in all states.

How do I find a participating PDP dentist? There are thousands of general dentists and specialists to choose from nationwide --so you are sure to find one that meets your needs. You can receive a list of these participating PDP dentists online at www.metlife.com/dental or call 1-800-275-4638 to have a list faxed or mailed to you.

What services are covered by my plan? All services defined under your group dental benefits plan are covered. Please review the enclosed plan benefits to learn more.

Does the Preferred Dentist Program offer any discounts on non-covered services? Negotiated fees may extend to services not covered under your plan and services received after your plan maximum has been met, where permitted by applicable state law. If permitted, you may only be responsible for the negotiated fee. * Negotiated fees are subject to change. Negotiated fees for non-covered services may not apply in all states.

May I choose a non-participating dentist? Yes. You are always free to select the dentist of your choice. However, if you choose a non-participating dentist, your out-of-pocket costs may be higher. He or she hasn’t agreed to accept negotiated fees. So you may be responsible for any difference in cost between the dentist's fee and your plan's benefit payment.

Can my dentist apply for participation in the network? Yes. If your current dentist does not participate in the network and you would like to encourage him or her to apply, ask your dentist to visit www.metdental.com, or call 1-866-PDP-NTWK for an application.* The website and phone number are for use by dental professionals only. * Due to contractual requirements, MetLife is prevented from soliciting certain providers.

How are claims processed? Dentists may submit your claims for you which means you have little or no paperwork. You can track your claims online and even receive e-mail alerts when a claim has been processed. If you need a claim form, visit www.metlife.com/dental or request one by calling 1-800-275-4638.

Can I find out what my out-of-pocket expenses will be before receiving a service? Yes. You can ask for a pretreatment estimate. Your general dentist or specialist usually sends MetLife a plan for your care and requests an estimate of benefits. The estimate helps you prepare for the cost of dental services. We recommend that you request a pre-treatment estimate for services in excess of $300. Simply have your dentist submit a request online at www.metdental.com or call 1-877-MET-DDS9. You and your dentist will receive a benefit estimate for most procedures while you are still in the office. Actual payments may vary depending upon plan maximums, deductibles, frequency limits and other conditions at time of payment.

How can I learn about what dentists in my area charge for different procedures? If you have MyBenefits you can access the Dental Procedure Fee Tool. You can use the tool to look up average in- and out-ofnetwork fees for dental services in your area.* You'll find fees for services such as exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns, and more. Just log in at www.metlife.com/mybenefits. * The Dental Procedure Fee Tool application is provided by go2dental.com. Inc., an independent vendor. Network fee information is supplied to go2dental.com by MetLife and is not available for providers who participate with MetLife through a vendor. Out-of-network fee information is provided by go2dental.com. This tool does not provide the payment information used by MetLife when processing your claims. Prior to receiving services, pretreatment estimates through your dentist will provide the most accurate fee and payment information..

Can MetLife help me find a dentist outside of the U.S. if I am traveling? Yes. Through international dental travel assistance services* you can obtain a referral to a local dentist by calling +1-312-356-5970 (collect) when outside the U.S. to receive immediate care until you can see your dentist. Coverage will be considered under your out-of-network benefits.** Please remember to hold on to all receipts to submit a dental claim. *International Dental Travel Assistance services are administered by AXA Assistance USA, Inc. AXA Assistance is not affiliated with MetLife and any of its affiliates, and the services they provide are separate and apart from the benefits provided by MetLife. ** Refer to your dental benefits plan summary for your out-of-network dental coverage.

How does MetLife coordinate benefits with other insurance plans? Coordination of benefits provision in dental benefits plans are a set of rules that are followed when a patient is covered by more than one dental benefits plan. These rules determine the order in which the plans will pay benefits. If the MetLife dental benefit plan is primary, MetLife will pay the full amount of benefits that would normally be available under the plan. If the MetLife dental benefit plan is secondary, most coordination of benefits provisions require MetLife to determine benefits after benefits have been determined under the primary plan. The amount of benefits payable by MetLife may be reduced due to the benefits paid under the primary plan.

Do I need an ID card? No, you do not need to present an ID card to confirm that you are eligible. You should notify your dentist that you are enrolled in MetLife’s Preferred Dentist Program. Your dentist can easily verify information about your coverage through a toll-free automated Computer Voice Response system.

Do my dependents have to visit the same dentist that I select? No, you and your dependents each have the freedom to choose any dentist.

Important: If you or your family members are covered by more than one health care plan, you may not be able to collect benefits from both plans. Each plan may require you to follow its rules or use specific doctors and hospitals, and it may be impossible to comply with both plans at the same time. Before you enroll in this plan, read all of the rules very carefully and compare them with the rules of any other plan that covers you or your family. M130D-10/25 Benefits are underwritten by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, New York, NY. Certain claims and network administration services are provided through Vision Service Plan. In certain states, availability of MetLife’s group vision benefits is subject to regulatory approval.

What Is Not Covered? Like most insurance plans, this plan has exclusions. In addition, a reduction schedule may apply. Please see your benefits administrator or certificate for specific details. Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance does not include payment for any loss which is caused by or contributed to by: physical or mental illness, diagnosis of or treatment of the illness; an infection, unless caused by an external wound accidentally sustained; suicide or attempted suicide; injuring oneself on purpose; the voluntary intake or use by any means of any drug, medication or sedative, unless taken as prescribed by a doctor or an over-the-counter drug taken as directed; voluntary intake of alcohol in combination with any drug, medication or sedative; war, whether declared or undeclared, or act of war, insurrection, rebellion or riot; committing or trying to commit a felony; any poison, fumes or gas, voluntarily taken, administered or absorbed; service in the armed forces of any country or international authority, except the United States National Guard; operating, learning to operate, or serving as a member of a crew of an aircraft; while in any aircraft for the purpose of descent from such aircraft while in flight (except for self preservation); or operating a vehicle or device while intoxicated as defined by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the accident occurs. Life and AD&D coverages are provided under a group insurance policy (Policy Form GPNP99 or G2130-S) issued to your employer by MetLife. Life and AD&D coverages under your employer’s plan terminates when your employment ceases when your Life and AD&D contributions cease, or upon termination of the group insurance policy. Should your life insurance coverage terminate for reasons other than non-payment of premium, you may convert it to a MetLife individual permanent policy without providing medical evidence of insurability. This summary provides an overview of your plan’s benefits. These benefits are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract between MetLife and your employer. Specific details regarding these provisions can be found in the certificate. If you have additional questions regarding the Life Insurance program underwritten by MetLife, please contact your benefits administrator or MetLife. Like most group life insurance policies, MetLife group policies contain exclusions, limitations, terms and conditions for keeping them in force. Please see your certificate for complete details.

(1) Features may vary depending on jurisdiction. (2) Total disability or totally disabled means your inability to do your job and any other job for which you may be fit by education, training or experience, due to injury or sickness. Please note that this benefit is only available after you have participated in the Basic/Supplemental Term Life Plan for 1 year and it is only available to the employee. (3) When life expectancy is certified by a physician to be 12 months or less. The Accelerated Benefits Option (ABO) is subject to state availability and regulation. The ABO benefits are intended to qualify for favorable federal tax treatment in which case the benefits will not be subject to federal taxation. This information was written as a supplement to the marketing of life insurance products. Tax laws relating to accelerated benefits are complex and limitations may apply. You are advised to consult with and rely on an independent tax advisor about your own particular circumstances. Receipt of ABO benefits may affect your eligibility, or that of your spouse or your family, for public assistance programs such as medical assistance (Medicaid), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Supplementary Social Security Income (SSI) and drug assistance programs. You are advised to consult with social service agencies concerning the effect that receipt of ABO benefits will have on public assistance eligibility for you, your spouse or your family. (4) The Total Control Account (TCA) is provided for all Life and AD&D benefits of $5,000 or more. The TCA is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any government agency. The assets backing TCAs are maintained in MetLife’s general account and are subject to MetLife’s creditors. MetLife bears the investment risk of the assets backing the TCAs, and expects to receive a profit. Regardless of the investment experience of such assets, the interest credited to TCAs will never fall below the guaranteed minimum rate. Guarantees are subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of MetLife. (5) Subject to state availability. To take advantage of this benefit, coverage of at least $10,000 must be elected. (6) The Seat Belt Benefit is payable if an insured person dies as a result of injuries sustained in an accident while driving or riding in a private passenger car and wearing a properly fastened seat belt _or a child restraint if the insured is a child_. In such case, his or her benefit can be increased by 10 percent of the Full Amount — but not less than $1,000 or more than $25,000.

Short Term Disability

BRG Management Inc. (dba Aspen Heights) Plan Benefits Original Plan Effective Date: January 1, 2017 Explore the coverage that helps you protect your income and your lifestyle. What is Short-Term Disability Insurance? Short-Term Disability insurance can help replace a portion of your income during the initial weeks of a disability to help you pay your bills and help maintain your current lifestyle. It helps by protecting you and your income if a sickness or accidental injury kept you from working. The plan is being made available to you through your employer and with the convenience of payroll deduction.

Why Should I Consider Short-Term Disability Insurance? While most people typically insure their lives and other material assets like homes or automobiles, many overlook the need to protect one of their most valuable assets – their ability to work and earn a living. When Disability strikes, your ability to earn an income becomes interrupted, however, your monthly bills continue. Would you be adequately prepared to cover present and future financial obligations if you were to fall sick or become disabled and not able to work for a short period?

Consider the Following,.,, 41% of employees surveyed by MetLife are very concerned about having enough money to make ends meet.1 40% of employees surveyed in MetLife’s 11th Annual Employee Benefits Trends Study say living paycheck to paycheck describes them perfectly.1 Just over 1 in 4 of today’s 20-year-olds will become disabled before reaching age 67.2

Eligibility Requirements All Active Full Time Employees working at least 30 hours per week are eligible to participate.

How is "Disability" defined under the Plan? Generally, you are considered disabled and eligible for short term benefits if, due to sickness, pregnancy or accidental injury, you are receiving appropriate care and treatment and are complying with the requirements of the treatment and you are unable to earn more than 80% of your predisability earnings at your own occupation. For a complete description of this and other requirements that must be met, refer to the Certificate of Insurance/Summary Plan Description provided by your Employer or contact your MetLife benefits administrator with any questions.

What is the benefit amount? If you enroll for coverage during your group’s initial open enrollment period, you select the amount of weekly benefit that is right for you. Choose any weekly benefit amount in increments of $50 per week, subject to a minimum of $100. The maximum benefit amount is 60% of your gross weekly earnings or $1,500, whichever is less, (rounded down to next $50 increment).

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, NY, NY


If I do not enroll during my group’s initial enrollment period can I still purchase coverage at a later date? Yes, employees who do not elect coverage during the initial 31-day open enrollment period may still elect coverage at future enrollments. If you choose coverage after the initial open enrollment, you will be limited to a $100 weekly benefit amount at the next annual enrollment. At subsequent annual enrollments you will be limited to increasing your weekly benefit coverage by $50.

When do benefits begin and how long do they continue? Short Term Disability: Benefits begin after the end of the elimination period. The elimination period begins on the day you become disabled and is the length of time you must wait, while disabled, before you are eligible to receive a benefit. The elimination period is as follows: For Injury: 7 days. For Sickness (includes pregnancy): 7 days. Benefits continue for as long as you are disabled up to a maximum duration of 12 weeks of Disability. Your plan’s maximum benefit period and any specific limitations are described in the Certificate of Insurance/Summary Plan Description provided by your Employer or contact your MetLife benefits administrator with any questions.

Answers to Some Important Questions‌ Q. Are my benefits taxable? A. If you pay your premium with after-tax dollars, your benefit in the event of disability would be tax free. Taxation of benefits can occur if all or a portion of the benefit is paid for with pre-tax contributions3. Q. Can I still receive benefits if I return to work part time? A. Yes. As long as you are disabled and meet the terms of your Disability plan, you may qualify for adjusted Disability benefits. Your plan offers financial and Rehabilitation incentives designed to help you to return to work when appropriate, even on a part-time basis when you participate in an approved Rehabilitation Program. While disabled, you may receive up to 100% of your predisability earnings when combining benefits, Rehabilitation Incentives and other income sources such as Social Security Disability Benefits and State Disability Benefits, and part-time earnings.

MetLife GCERT2000 Highlights L0716473190[exp0717][xCA,NY]

You may be eligible for the Moving Expense Incentive if you incur expenses in order to move to a new residence recommended as part of the Rehabilitation Program. Expenses must be approved in advance. Q. Are there any exclusions for pre-existing conditions? A. Yes. Your plan may not cover a sickness or accidental injury that arose in the months prior to your participation in the plan.

Long Term Disability

Aspen Heights Plan Benefits Original Plan Effective Date: January 1, 2016 Explore the coverage that helps you protect your income and your lifestyle. What is Long-Term Disability Insurance? Long-Term Disability (LTD) insurance can help replace a portion of your income if you are unable to work for an extended period of time due to a sickness or accidental injury. It helps to provide the day to day peace of mind that comes from knowing that, during the time you would be recovering from a significant event in your life, you may not have to shoulder the additional burden of wondering how you’re going to pay for the things that would still have to be paid for.

Why Should I Consider LTD Insurance? You may have already purchased home, auto and life insurance to protect yourself against the threat of loss. And, you may already have health insurance to protect you against the cost of medical bills. But, have you protected one of your most valuable assets – your ability to work and earn a living? Nobody ever thinks it will happen to them, but unfortunately, it can. The car accident, the illness, the slip on an icy sidewalk, the fall down steps or off a bike. And, sometimes these events can deprive you of one of your most important and valuable assets—your ability to earn an income. A disability absence from work can potentially last for several years. That’s a long time to survive without a steady income. While some people may be able to survive without working for a few months by tapping into their savings, what happens after that? Would you be able to meet your financial obligations if you became disabled and were unable to work for an extended period? Recent statistics have shown: ~60% of employees surveyed in MetLife’s 10th Annual Employee Benefits Trends Study indicated they are very concerned about having enough money to pay bills during a period of sudden income loss. 1 ~ Today’s 20 year olds have an approximately 1 in 4 chance of becoming disabled before reaching age 67.2 Your employer recognizes the need for you to protect your ability to earn an income and is offering you the opportunity to enroll in Long Term Disability insurance coverage from MetLife. The plan is being made available to you with the convenience of payroll deduction so you don’t have to worry about mailing monthly payments.

Eligibility Requirements Long Term Disability: All Active Full Time Employees working at least 30 hours per week are eligible to participate.

How is "Disability" defined under the Plan? Generally, you are considered disabled and eligible for long term benefits if, during your elimination period and the next 24 months you are unable to earn more than 80% of your predisability earnings at your own occupation for any employer in your local economy due to sickness, pregnancy or accidental injury, while you are receiving appropriate care and treatment and complying with the requirements of the treatment. Following the Own Occupation period, you are considered disabled if, due to sickness, pregnancy or accidental injury, you are receiving appropriate care and treatment and complying with the requirements of treatment and you are unable to earn 60%of your predisability earnings at any gainful occupation for which you are reasonably qualified taking into account your training, education and experience.

What is the benefit amount? Long Term Disability: The Long Term Disability benefit replaces a portion of your predisability monthly earnings, less other income you may receive from other sources1 during the same Disability (e.g., Social Security, Workers’ Compensation, vacation pay etc.).

What is the maximum monthly benefit? The amount of Long Term Disability benefit may not exceed the maximum monthly benefit established under the plan, regardless of your annual salary amount. The maximum under this plan is $7,500.

If I do not enroll during my group’s initial open enrollment period can I still purchase coverage at a later date? Yes, employees who do not elect coverage during the initial 31-day open enrollment period may still elect coverage at future enrollments. You may be required to submit a Statement of Health or meet certain pre-existing condition limitations.

When do benefits begin and how long do they continue? Benefits begin after the end of the elimination period. The elimination period begins on the day you become disabled and is the length of time you must wait while being disabled before you are eligible to receive a benefit.

HIPAA Notices Special Enrollment - If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after you or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage). 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. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. Your group health plan will allow an employee or dependent who is eligible, but not enrolled, for coverage to enroll for coverage if either of the following events occurs: 1. TERMINATION OF MEDICAID OR CHILDREN’S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP) COVERAGE – If the employee or dependent is covered under a Medicaid plan or under a State child health plan and coverage of the employee or dependent under such a plan is terminated as a result of loss of eligibility. 2. ELIGIBILITY FOR EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE UNDER MEDICAID OR CHIP – If the employee or dependent becomes eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or a State child health plan, including under any waiver or demonstration project conducted under or in relation to such a plan. This is usually a program where the state assists employed individuals with premium payment assistance for their employer’s group health plan rather than direct enrollment in a state Medicaid program. To be eligible for this special enrollment opportunity you must request coverage under the group health plan within 60 days after the date the employee or dependent becomes eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP or the date your or your dependent’s Medicaid or state-sponsored CHIP coverage ends.

Prohibition against discrimination based on a health factor. Under HIPAA, a group health plan may not keep you (or your dependents) out of the plan based on anything related to your health. In addition, a group health plan may not charge you (or your dependents) more for coverage, based on health, than the amount charged a similarly situated individual.

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) prohibits discrimination in group health plan coverage based on genetic information. It expands the genetic information protections included in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and prevents a plan or issuer from imposing a pre-existing condition exclusion provision based solely on genetic information, and prohibits discrimination in individual eligibility, benefits, or premiums based on any health factor (including genetic information). GINA also generally prohibits plans and issuers from requesting or requiring an individual to undergo a genetic test and from collecting genetic information (including family medical history) prior to or in connection with enrollment, or for underwriting purposes.


HIPAA Notices Right to individual health coverage. Under HIPAA, if you are an “eligible individual”, you have a right to buy certain individual health policies (or in some states, to buy coverage through a high-risk pool) without a pre-existing condition exclusion. To be an eligible individual, you must meet the following requirements:     

You have had coverage for at least 18 months without a break in coverage of 63 days or more; Your most recent coverage was under a group health plan; Your group coverage was not terminated because of fraud or nonpayment of premiums; You are not eligible for COBRA continuation coverage or you have exhausted your COBRA benefits (or continuation coverage under a similar state provision); and You are not eligible for another group health plan, Medicare, or Medicaid, and do not have any other health insurance coverage.

The right to buy individual coverage is the same whether you are laid off, fired, or quit your job. Therefore, if you are interested in obtaining individual coverage and you meet the other criteria to be an eligible individual, you should apply for this coverage as soon as possible to avoid losing your eligible individual status due to a 63-day break.

Special information for people on FMLA leave. If you are taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and you drop health coverage during your leave, any days without health coverage while on FMLA leave will not count toward a 63-day break in coverage. In addition, if you do not return from leave, the 30-day period to request special enrollment in another plan will not start before your FMLA leave ends. Therefore, when you apply for other health coverage, you should tell your plan administrator or health insurer about any prior FMLA leave.

Notice of Availability for HIPAA/Notice of Privacy Practices. [Aspen Heights] would like to communicate the availability of its Notice of Privacy Practices. At any time, a copy of the current Notice of Privacy Practices may be obtained by contacting Human Resources at [512-369-3030].

For more information. If you have questions about your HIPAA rights, you may contact your state insurance department or the U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), toll-free at (866) 444-3272 (for free HIPAA publications ask for publications concerning changes in health care laws). You may also contact the CMS publication hotline at (800) 633-4227 (ask for Protecting Your Health Insurance Coverage). These publications and other useful information are also available on the Internet at: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa, the DOL’s interactive Web pages - Health Elaws, or http://www.cms.hhs.gov/healthinsreformforconsume/.


Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights **Continuation Coverage Rights Under COBRA** Introduction You are receiving this notice because you have recently gained coverage under a group health plan (the Plan). This notice contains important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan. This notice explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect the right to receive it. When you become eligible for COBRA, you may also become eligible for other coverage options that may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and other members of your family when group health coverage would otherwise end. For more information about your rights and obligations under the Plan and under federal law, you should review the Plan’s Summary Plan Description or contact the Plan Administrator. You may have other options available to you when you lose group health coverage. For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally doesn’t accept late enrollees. What is COBRA continuation coverage? COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when it would otherwise end because of a life event known as a “qualifying event.” Specific qualifying events are listed later in this notice. After a qualifying event, COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a “qualified beneficiary.” You, your spouse, and your dependent children could become qualified beneficiaries if coverage under the Plan is lost because of the qualifying event. Under the Plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA continuation coverage must pay for COBRA continuation coverage. If you are an employee, you will become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:  

Your hours of employment are reduced, or Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct.

If you are the spouse of an employee, you will become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:     

Your spouse dies; Your spouse’s hours of employment are reduced; Your spouse’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; Your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); or You become divorced or legally separated from your spouse.

Your dependent children will become qualified beneficiaries if they lose coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:      

The parent-employee dies; The parent-employee’s hours of employment are reduced; The parent-employee’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; The parent-employee becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (Part A, Part B, or both); The parents become divorced or legally separated; or The child stops being eligible for coverage under the plan as a “dependent child.”

When is COBRA continuation coverage available? The Plan will offer COBRA continuation coverage to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator has been notified that a qualifying event has occurred. The employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the following qualifying events:   

The end of employment or reduction of hours of employment; Death of the employee; The employee’s becoming entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both).


Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights **Continuation Coverage Rights Under COBRA** For the other qualifying events (divorce or legal separation of the employee and spouse or a dependent child’s losing eligibility for coverage as a dependent child), you must notify the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs. How is COBRA continuation coverage provided? Once the Plan Administrator receives notice that a qualifying event has occurred, COBRA continuation coverage will be offered to each of the qualified beneficiaries. Each qualified beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA continuation coverage. Covered employees may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their children. COBRA continuation coverage is a temporary continuation of coverage that generally lasts for 18 months due to employment termination or reduction of hours of work. Certain qualifying events, or a second qualifying event during the initial period of coverage, may permit a beneficiary to receive a maximum of 36 months of coverage. There are also ways in which this 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage can be extended: Disability extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage If you or anyone in your family covered under the Plan is determined by the Social Security Administration to be disabled and you notify the Plan Administrator in a timely fashion, you and your entire family may be entitled to receive up to an additional 11 months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a total maximum of 29 months. The disability would have to have started at some time before the 60th day of COBRA continuation coverage and must last at least until the end of the 18-month period of continuation coverage. Second qualifying event extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage If your family experiences another qualifying event during the 18 month of COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 36 months, if the Plan is properly notified about the second qualifying event. This extension may be available to the spouse and any dependent children getting COBRA continuation coverage if the employee or former employee dies; becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); gets divorced or legally separated; or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child. This extension is only available if the second qualifying event would have caused the spouse or dependent child to lose coverage under the Plan had the first qualifying event not occurred. Are there other coverage options besides COBRA continuation coverage? Yes. Instead of enrolling in COBRA continuation coverage, there may be other coverage options for you and your family through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, or other group health plan coverage options (such as a spouse’s plan) through what is called a “special enrollment period.” Some of these options may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. You can learn more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov. If You Have Questions Questions concerning your Plan or your COBRA continuation coverage rights should be addressed to the contact or contacts identified below. For more information about your rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), including COBRA, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and other laws affecting group health plans, contact the nearest Regional or District Office of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) in your area or visit the EBSA website at www.dol.gov/ebsa.

Important Notice from [Aspen Heights] About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with [Aspen Heights] and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. [Aspen Heights] has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the [Blue Choice PPO Plan] is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan. When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15 th to December 7th However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan. What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current [Aspen Heights] coverage may be affected. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current [Aspen Heights] coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may or may not be able to get this coverage back.


Important Notice from [Aspen Heights] About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with [Aspen Heights] and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later. If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join. For More Information About This Notice Or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage… Contact the person listed below for further information. NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through [Aspen Heights] changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time. For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage… More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans. For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage:   

Visit www.medicare.gov Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help Call (800) MEDICARE/(800) 633-4227); TTY users should call (877) 486-2048.

If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help:  

Visit Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov Call them at (800) 772-1213; TTY (800) 325-0778.

Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty).

NOTICE FOR RESIDENTS OF UTAH Notice of Protection Provided by Utah Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association This notice provides a brief summary of the Utah Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association ("the Association") and the protection it provides for policyholders. This safety net was created under Utah law, which determines who and what is covered and the amounts of coverage. The Association was established to provide protection in the unlikely event that your life, health, or annuity insurance company becomes financially unable to meet its obligations and is taken over by its insurance regulatory agency. If this should happen, the Association will typically arrange to continue coverage and pay claims, in accordance with Utah law, with funding from assessments paid by other insurance companies. The basic protections provided by the Association are: ¡ Life Insurance o $500,000 in death benefits o $200,000 in cash surrender or withdrawal values ¡ Health Insurance o $500,000 in hospital, medical and surgical insurance benefits o $500,000 in long-term care insurance benefits o $500,000 in disability income insurance benefits o $500,000 in other types of health insurance benefits ¡ Annuities o $250,000 in withdrawal and cash values The maximum amount of protection for each individual, regardless of the number of policies or contracts, is $500,000. Special rules may apply with regard to hospital, medical and surgical insurance benefits. Note: Certain policies and contracts may not be covered or fully covered. For example, coverage does not extend to any portion of a policy or contract that the insurer does not guarantee, such as certain investment additions to the account value of a variable life insurance policy or a variable annuity contract. Coverage is conditioned on residency in this state and there are substantial limitations and exclusions. For a complete description of coverage, consult Utah Code, Title 3 lA, Chapter 28. Insurance companies and agents are prohibited by Utah law to use the existence of the Association or its coverage to encourage you to purchase insurance. When selecting an insurance company, you should not rely on Association coverage. If there is any inconsistency between Utah law and this notice, Utah law will control. To learn more about the above protections, as well as protections relating to group contracts or retirement plans, please visit the Association's website at www.utlifega.org or contact: Utah Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Assoc. 60 East South Temple, Suite 500 Salt Lake City UT 84111 (801) 320-9955

VISION INSURANCE Benefits are available for Covered Services and Materials provided by either In-Network Vision Providers or Out-of-Network Vision Providers.

You are always free to receive services from any Vision Provider. You do not need any authorization from Us before seeing a Vision Provider. In-Network Vision Providers have agreed to provide Covered Services and Materials as listed in the SCHEDULE OF BENEFITS. If You or a Dependent incur a charge for Covered Services and Materials from an Out-of-Network Vision Provider, Proof of such service must be sent to Us.

VISION INSURANCE: COORDINATION OF BENEFITS When You or a Dependent incur charges for Covered Services and Materials, there may be other Plans, as defined below, that also provide benefits for those same charges. In that case, We may reduce what We pay based on what the other Plans pay. This Coordination of Benefits section explains how and when We do this. DEFINITIONS In this section, the terms set forth below have the following meanings: Allowable Expense means a necessary vision expense for which both of the following are true: ·

a Covered Person must pay it, and

·

it is at least partly covered by one or more of the Plans that provide benefits to the Covered Person.

If a Plan provides fixed benefits for specified events or conditions (instead of benefits based on expenses incurred) such benefits are Allowable Expenses. If a Plan provides benefits in the form of services, We treat the reasonable cash value of each service performed as both an Allowable Expense and a benefit paid by that Plan. The term does not include: ·

expenses for services performed because of a Job-Related Injury or Sickness;

·

any amount of expenses in excess of the higher reasonable and customary fee for a service, if two or more Plans compute their benefit payments on the basis of reasonable and customary fees;

·

any amount of expenses in excess of the higher negotiated fee for a service, if two or more Plans compute their benefit payments on the basis of negotiated fees; and

·

any amount of benefits that a Primary Plan does not pay because the covered person fails to comply with the Primary Plan’s managed care or utilization review provisions, these include provisions requiring: · · · ·

second surgical opinions; pre-certification of services; use of providers in a Plan’s network of providers; or any other similar provisions.

If You or a Dependent are also covered under an HMO plan, We will not use this provision to refuse to pay benefits because an HMO member has elected to have vision services provided by a non-HMO provider and the HMO's contract does not require the HMO to pay for providing those services. Claim Determination Period means a calendar year or plan year. A Claim Determination Period for any Covered Person will not include periods of time during which that person is not covered under This Plan. Custodial Parent means a Parent awarded custody, other than joint custody, by a court decree. In the absence of a court decree, it means the Parent with whom the child resides more than half of the Year without regard to any temporary visitation. HMO means a Health Maintenance Organization or Vision Health Maintenance Organization. Job-Related Injury or Sickness means any injury or sickness: ·

for which You are entitled to benefits under a workers’ compensation or similar law, or any arrangement that provides for similar compensation; or

·

arising out of employment for wage or profit.

Parent means a person who covers a child as a dependent under a Plan.

GCERT2000 vis/cob

41


VISION INSURANCE: COORDINATION OF BENEFITS (continued) Plan means any of the following if it provides benefits or services for an Allowable Expense: ·

a group insurance plan;

·

an HMO;

·

a blanket plan;

·

uninsured arrangements of group or group type coverage;

·

a group practice plan;

·

a group service plan;

·

a group prepayment plan;

·

any other plan that covers people as a group;

·

any other coverage required or provided by any law or any governmental program, except Medicaid.

The term does not include any of the following: ·

individual or family insurance or subscriber contracts;

·

individual or family coverage through closed panel Plans or other prepayment, group practice or individual practice Plans;

·

hospital indemnity coverage;

·

a school blanket plan that only provides accident-type coverage on a 24 hour basis, or a "to and from school basis," to students in a grammar school, high school or college;

·

disability income protection coverage;

·

accident only coverage;

·

specified disease or specified accident coverage;

·

nursing home or long term care coverage; or

·

any government program or coverage if, by state or Federal law, its benefits are excess to those of any private insurance plan or other non-government plan.

The provisions of This Plan which limit benefits based on benefits or services provided under Plans which the employer, Policyholder (or an affiliate) contributes to or sponsors will not be affected by these Coordination of Benefits provisions. Each policy, contract or other arrangement for benefits is a separate Plan. If part of a Plan reserves the right to reduce what it pays based on benefits or services provided by other Plans, that part will be treated separately from any parts which do not. This Plan means the vision benefits described in this certificate, except for any provisions in this certificate that limit insurance based on benefits for services provided under plans which the Policyholder (or an affiliate) contributes to or sponsors. Primary Plan means a Plan that pays its benefits first under the “Rules to Decide Which Plan Is Primary” section. A Primary Plan pays benefits as if the Secondary Plans do not exist. Secondary Plan means a Plan that is not a Primary Plan. A Secondary Plan may reduce its benefits by amounts payable by the Primary Plan. If there are more than two Plans that provide coverage, a Plan may be Primary to some plans, and Secondary to others.

GCERT2000 vis/cob

42


VISION INSURANCE: COORDINATION OF BENEFITS (continued) RULES TO DECIDE WHICH PLAN IS PRIMARY When more than one Plan covers the person for whom Allowable Expenses were incurred, We determine which plan is primary by applying the rules in this section. When there is a basis for claim under This Plan and another Plan, This Plan is Secondary unless: ·

the other Plan has rules coordinating its benefits with those of This Plan; and

·

this Plan is primary under This Plan’s rules.

The first rule below which will allow Us to determine which Plan is Primary is the rule that We will use. Dependent or Non-Dependent: A Plan that covers a person other than as a dependent (for example, as an employee, member, subscriber, or retiree) is Primary and shall pay its benefits before a Plan that covers the person as a dependent; except that if the person is a Medicare beneficiary and, as a result of federal law or regulations, Medicare is: ·

Secondary to the Plan covering the person as a dependent; and

·

Primary to the Plan covering the person as other than a dependent (e.g., a retired employee),

then the order of benefits between the two Plans is reversed and the Plan that covers the person as a dependent is Primary. Child Covered Under More Than One Plan – Court Decree: When This Plan and another Plan cover the same Child as the Dependent of two or more Parents, and the specific terms of a court decree state that one of the Parents must provide health coverage or pay for the Child’s health care expenses, that Parent’s Plan is Primary if the Plan has actual knowledge of those terms. This rule applies to Claim Determination Periods that start after the Plan is given notice of the court decree. Child Covered Under More Than One Plan – The Birthday Rule: When This Plan and another Plan cover the same Child as the Dependent of two or more Parents, the Primary Plan is the Plan of the Parent whose birthday falls earlier in the Year if: ·

the Parents are married; or

·

the Parents are not separated (whether or not they have ever married); or

·

a court decree awards joint custody without specifying which Parent must provide health coverage.

If both Parents have the same birthday, the Plan that covered either of the Parents longer is the Primary Plan. However, if the other Plan does not have this rule, but instead has a rule based on the gender of the parent, and if as a result the Plans do not agree on the order of benefits, the rule in the other Plan will determine the order of benefits. Child Covered Under More than One Plan – Custodial Parent: When This Plan and another Plan cover the same Child as the Dependent of two or more Parents, if the Parents are not married, or are separated (whether or not they ever married), or are divorced, the Primary Plan is: ·

the Plan of the Custodial Parent; then

·

the Plan of the spouse of the Custodial Parent; then

·

the Plan of the non-custodial Parent; and then

·

the Plan of the spouse of the non-custodial Parent.

GCERT2000 vis/cob

43


VISION INSURANCE: COORDINATION OF BENEFITS (continued) Active or Inactive Employee: A Plan that covers a person as an employee who is neither laid off nor retired is Primary to a Plan that covers the person as a laid-off or retired employee (or as that person’s Dependent). If the other Plan does not have this rule and, if as a result, the Plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule is ignored. Continuation Coverage: The Plan that covers a person as an active employee, member or subscriber (or as that employee’s Dependent) is Primary to a Plan that covers that person under a right of continuation pursuant to federal law (e.g., COBRA) or state law. If the Plan that covers the person has not adopted this rule, and if, as a result, the Plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule shall not apply. Longer/Shorter Time Covered: If none of the above rules determine which Plan is Primary, the Plan that has covered the person for the longer time shall be Primary to a Plan that has covered the person for a shorter time. No Rules Apply: If none of the above rules determine which Plan is Primary, the Allowable Expenses shall be shared equally between all the Plans. In no event will This Plan pay more than it would if it were Primary. EFFECT ON BENEFITS OF THIS PLAN If This Plan is Secondary, when the total Allowable Expenses incurred by a covered person in any Claim Determination Period are less than the sum of: ·

the benefits that would be payable under This Plan without applying this Coordination of Benefits provision; and

·

the benefits that would be payable under all other Plans without applying Coordination of Benefits or similar provisions;

then We will reduce the benefits that would otherwise be payable under This Plan. The sum of these reduced benefits plus all benefits payable for such Allowable Expenses under all other Plans will not exceed the total of the Allowable Expenses. Benefits payable under all other Plans include all benefits that would be payable if the proper claims had been made on time. FACILITY OF PAYMENT A payment made under another Plan may include an amount which should have been paid under This Plan. If it does, We may pay that amount to the organization which made that payment. That amount will then be treated as though it were a benefit paid under This Plan. We will not have to pay that amount again. The term “payment made” includes benefits provided in the form of services, in which case We may pay the reasonable cash value of the benefits provided in the form of services. RIGHT OF RECOVERY If the amount We pay is more than We should have paid under this Coordination of Benefits provision, We may recover the excess from one or more of: ·

the person We have paid or for whom We have paid;

·

insurance companies; or

·

other organizations.

The amount of the payment includes the reasonable cash value of any benefits provided in the form of services.

The following applies to employers with 20 or more employees that are not church or government plans: NOTICE OF YOUR RIGHT AND YOUR DEPENDENTS' RIGHT TO COBRA CONTINUATION COVERAGE COBRA is a federal law that requires most group health plans to give their employees and their dependents the opportunity to continue coverage when coverage is terminated due to certain specific events. If your employment terminates for any reason other than your gross misconduct, or if your hours worked are reduced so that your coverage terminates, you and your covered dependents may be able to continue coverage under This Plan for a period of up to 18 months. If it is determined under the terms of the Social Security Act that You or your covered dependent is disabled within the first 60 days of COBRA coverage, you and your covered dependents may be able to continue your vision coverage under This Plan for an additional 11 months after the expiration of the 18 month period. In addition, if you should die, become divorced or legally separated, or become eligible for Medicare, your covered dependents may be able to continue coverage under This Plan for up to 36 months. Also, your covered children may be able to continue coverage under This Plan for up to 36 months after they no longer qualify as covered dependents under the terms of This Plan. Group health plans for employers with fewer than 20 employees, church plans, and plans established and maintained by the federal government are not subject to COBRA continuation requirements. During the continuation period, a child of yours that is (1) born; (2) adopted by you; or (3) placed with you for adoption, will be treated as if the child were a covered dependent at the time coverage was lost due to an event described above. This continuation will terminate on the earliest of: a. the end of the 18, 29 or 36 month continuation period, as the case may be; b. the date of expiration of the last period for which the required payment was made; c.

the date, after you or your covered dependent elects to continue coverage, that you or your covered dependent first becomes covered under another group health plan as long as the new plan does not contain any exclusion or limitation with respect to your or your covered dependent’s preexisting condition;

d. the date your employer ceases to provide any group health plan for its employees. Notice will be given when you or your covered dependent becomes entitled to continue coverage under This Plan. You or your covered dependent will then have 60 days to elect to continue coverage. If you or your covered dependent do not notify your Employer within the 60-day election period, you will lose the option to elect continuation coverage. Each person who is eligible for COBRA coverage is entitled to make a separate election of COBRA coverage. Thus, a covered spouse (as defined by federal law) or dependent child (or parent on their behalf) is entitled to elect COBRA coverage even if the covered Employee does not make that election. However, covered Employees may elect COBRA coverage on behalf of their covered dependents. Any person who elects to continue coverage under This Plan must pay the full cost of that coverage (including both the share you now pay and the share your Employer now pays), plus any additional amounts permitted by law. Your payments for continued coverage must be made on the first day of each month in advance. If you do not elect COBRA coverage, your vision coverage will end. However, if you initially waive COBRA continuation coverage before the end of the 60-day election period, you may change your election by sending the completed election form to the Plan Administrator and postmarking it no later than the last day of the 60-day election period.


If You Elect Cobra If you choose COBRA coverage and pay the required premiums, you are entitled to coverage which, as of the time coverage is being provided, is identical to the coverage provided by the Employer to similarly situated active Employees, spouses or dependent children. This means that if the coverage for similarly situated Employees spouses or dependent children changes, coverage will change for those who elected COBRA coverage. Duration Of Cobra Coverage The law requires that you be given the opportunity to maintain COBRA coverage for 36 months from the date coverage ends as a result of the qualifying event unless you lost coverage because of the covered Employee's termination of employment or reduction in hours. In that case, the required COBRA coverage period is 18 months from the date you lose coverage as a result of the termination of employment or reduction in hours. However, the 18-month coverage period may be extended under the following circumstances: Disability. If any person entitled to COBRA coverage (the covered Employee, covered spouse or covered dependent child) is determined by the Social Security Administration to have been disabled at any time during the first 60 days of COBRA coverage period and the disability lasts at least until the end of the 18 month period of continuation coverage, then all such persons entitled to elect COBRA coverage may be able to continue coverage for up to 29 months, rather than 18 months. In order to be eligible for the additional 11 months of COBRA coverage, the covered Employee, covered spouse or covered dependent child must notify the Employer's COBRA Administrator within 60 days of the latest of: (1) the Social Security Administration’s determination of disability; (2) the date of the qualifying event; (3) the date on which the covered Employee’s coverage initially was or will be lost; or (4) the date a person entitled to COBRA coverage is informed of this obligation by being provided the initial COBRA notice for the applicable group health plan. Written notice to the COBRA Administrator must be received before the end of the initial 18-month coverage period. A copy of the Social Security Administration’s determination must be provided to the COBRA Administrator. If these procedures are not followed, there will be no disability extension of COBRA. During the additional 11 months of coverage, your cost for that coverage will be approximately 50% higher than it was during the preceding 18 months. The additional 11 months of coverage provided on account of a disability will end as of the earlier of: ·

The first day of the month beginning more than 30 days after a final determination by the Social Security Administration that the disability no longer exists; or

·

The last day of the 29th month of total coverage.

A person entitled to COBRA coverage must notify the COBRA Administrator within 30 days if the Social Security Administration determines that the disabled person is no longer disabled. This Plan reserves the right to retroactively cancel COBRA coverage, and will require reimbursement of all benefits paid for claims incurred after coverage terminates. Subsequent Qualifying Events. If, during the 18-month period of COBRA coverage (or within the 29month maximum coverage period in the case of a disability extension), the covered Employee and the spouse divorce, the covered Employee dies, the covered Employee becomes entitled to Medicare, or a dependent ceases to be an eligible dependent under the terms of This Plan, then the covered spouse and/or covered dependent child(ren) (as applicable) may be able to extend COBRA coverage for up to 36 months from the date of the termination of employment or reduction in hours.


A person entitled to COBRA coverage must notify the Employer’s COBRA Administrator of the subsequent event no later than 60 days after its occurrence. If such notification is not given, the covered spouse and/or covered dependent child will not be entitled to the additional COBRA coverage. Premiums For Cobra Coverage A person entitled to COBRA coverage is entirely responsible for paying the premiums for COBRA coverage. The required payment for each continuation coverage period for each option will be described in the notice that is sent when an individual experiences a qualifying event. Initial Premium Payment If continuation of coverage is elected, payment for continuation coverage must be made no later than 45 days after the date of such election. (This is the date the election notice is post-marked, if mailed.) If the first payment for continuation coverage is not made in full by the 45th day after the date of election, continuation coverage under This Plan will end. A person entitled to COBRA coverage is responsible for making sure that the amount of the first payment is correct. After the first payment for continuation coverage, the amount due for each coverage period for each qualified beneficiary will be provided when coverage is elected. PLAN TERMINATION OR CHANGES Written notice of termination must be given to the Employer at least 31 days prior to the date such insurance will be terminated. Premiums are due and payable on the first day of each month for which insurance coverage is to be provided. If a payment is not received within 31 days after the due date, coverage will terminate as follows: a. with respect to coverages other than Life Insurance and Accidental Death or Dismemberment Insurance - on the earlier of the 31st day following the due date and the date requested in writing by the Employer, provided such request is made before such 31st day; and b. with respect to Life Insurance and Accidental Death or Dismemberment Insurance -- on the later of the 31st day following the due date and the date MetLife's written notice of termination is received by the Employer. The Employer is liable to MetLife for payment of the pro-rata premium which accrues while any coverage remains in force. The group policy sets forth those situations in which the Employer and/or MetLife have the right to end the policy. The Employer reserves the right to change or terminate the Plan at any time. Therefore, there is no guarantee that you will be eligible for the benefits described herein for the duration of your employment. Any such action will be taken only after careful consideration. Your consent or the consent of your beneficiary is not required to terminate, modify, amend, or change the Plan. In the event Your coverage ends in accord with the Date Your Insurance Ends provision of Your certificate, you may still be eligible to receive benefits. The circumstances under which benefits are available are described in Your MetLife certificate.


CONTRIBUTIONS You must make a contribution to the cost of Personal and Dependent Vision Insurance. The total premium rate for insurance provided under the Plan by MetLife is set by MetLife.

Additionally, under the provisions of ERISA (Section 502(a)(1)(B) 29 U.S.C. 1132(a)(1)(B)), the Covered Person has the right to bring a civil action when all available levels of reviews, including the appeal process, have been completed.

Time of Action. No action in law or in equity shall be brought to recover on this Policy prior to the Covered Person exhausting his/her rights under this Policy and/or prior to the expiration of sixty (60) calendar days after the claim and any applicable documentation has been filed with Us.

Insurance Fraud: Any Covered Person who intends to defraud, knowingly facilitates a fraud, submits a claim containing false or deceptive information, or who commits any other similar act as defined by applicable state or federal law, may be guilty of insurance fraud. Such an act is grounds for immediate termination of the coverage under this Policy of the Covered Person committing such fraud. Discretionary Authority of Plan Administrator and Other Plan Fiduciaries In carrying out their respective responsibilities under the Plan, the Plan administrator and other Plan fiduciaries shall have discretionary authority to interpret the terms of the Plan and to determine eligibility for and entitlement to Plan benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Any interpretation or determination made pursuant to such discretionary authority shall be given full force and effect, unless it can be shown that the interpretation or determination was arbitrary and capricious. STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS The following statement is required by federal law and regulation. As a participant in the Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that all participants shall be entitled to: Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits Examine, without charge, at the Plan administrator's office and at other specified locations, all Plan documents governing the Plan, including insurance contracts and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefit Security Administration. Obtain, upon written request to the Plan administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary plan description. The administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies. Receive a summary of the Plan's annual financial report. The Plan administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.


Continue Group Vision Plan Insurance Continue vision insurance for yourself, spouse or dependents if there is a loss of coverage under the Plan as a result of a qualifying event. You or your dependents may have to pay for such coverage. Review this summary plan description and the documents governing the Plan on the rules governing your COBRA continuation coverage rights. Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit Plan. The people who operate your Plan, called "fiduciaries" of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. Enforce Your Rights If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110.00 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan's decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order or a medical child support order, you may file suit in Federal court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan's money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees; for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous. Assistance with Your Questions If you have any questions about your Plan, you should contact the Plan administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration.

Uniformed Services Employment And Reemployment Rights Act This section describes the right that you may have to continue coverage for yourself and your covered dependents under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA). Continuation of Group Vision Insurance: If you take a leave from employment for “service in the uniformed services,” as that term is defined in USERRA, and as a consequence your vision insurance coverage under your employer’s group vision insurance policy ends, you may elect to continue vision insurance for yourself and your covered dependents, for a limited period of time, as described below. The law requires that your employer notify you of your rights, benefits and obligations under USERAA including instructions on how to elect to continue insurance, the amount and procedure for payment of premium. If permitted by USERRA, your employer may require that you elect to continue coverage within a period of time specified by your employer. You may be responsible for payment of the required premium to continue insurance. If your leave from employment for service in the uniformed services lasts less than 31 days, your required premium will be no more than the amount you were required to pay for vision insurance before the leave began; for a leave lasting 31 or more days, you may be required to pay up to 102% of the total Vision insurance premium, including any amount that your employer was paying before the leave began. You and your covered dependents insurance that is continued pursuant to USERRA will end on the earliest of the following: · ·

the end of 24 consecutive months from the date your leave from employment for service in the uniformed services begins; or the day after the date on which you fail to apply for, or return to employment, in accordance with USERRA.

You and your covered dependent may become entitled to continuation of coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) while you have Vision insurance coverage under your employer’s group vision insurance policy pursuant to USERRA. Contact your employer for more information.

YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS How much you save will have a big impact on how much money you will have when you retire. You can contribute from 1% to 90% of your pre-tax salary to the plan each year. Your plan also allows you to contribute on an aftertax basis through Roth 401(k) contributions.

Withdrawals taken prior to age 59½ may be subject to a 10% tax penalty.


Reduce your income taxes today by saving pre-tax There are benefits to saving in the plan pre-tax. Saving pre-tax lowers your taxable income. It allows you to pay less in taxes now and take more income home. You can see the advantage of pre-tax saving in the chart: it costs less to contribute when you save pre-tax so you can afford to save more than you think.

» The out-of-pocket amount is less than the

amount contributed in the plan.

You are not required to pay taxes on your savings and earnings until you start making withdrawals. In retirement, you may be in a lower tax bracket because you are working part-time or not at all, so deferring taxes can be a benefit. It may also help your account compound faster by putting more money to work for you now with the money you may have paid in taxes.

Consider the Roth 401(k) option Your plan offers another tax-advantaged savings option: a Roth 401(k). With Roth, your contributions are taxed now—instead of when you retire. Your contributions and earnings grow tax-free, which means you pay no taxes when you make a withdrawal if certain conditions are met. A Roth 401(k) may be right for you if: •

Your federal income tax rate will be higher when you retire

You expect to invest for many years and reach a higher tax bracket when you retire

Choose how you want to get there.

Investment options You control how your savings is invested. You have a variety of investment options in your plan to help you create the asset allocation that is right for your needs and goals. See the Performance Summary for a complete fund listing. Two ways to invest You decide which investment approach you prefer: Choose an asset allocation fund.* Your plan offers a solution for creating a diversified asset allocation for your account with just one investment option. Just choose either the fund with the date closest to your anticipated retirement date or the risk-based fund with the allocation that most closely reflects your investor type, whichever type your plan offers. It’s that easy! If you choose this approach, you can skip to page 6 to get started. Create your own asset allocation. You can create your own asset allocation from the investments offered in the plan. When you build your own mix, it’s important to spread your savings among different investments, which can help smooth the ups and downs of market cycles and reduce risk. Your account allocation is one of the most important decisions you can make in your retirement planning and can have a big impact on your investment results. To help you get yours right, complete the Investor Profiler on page 5.

Guidelines every investor should know: •• Put time on your side. Starting now can increase your chances of affording a comfortable retirement. It will give your account more time to benefit from compounding. With more time, you can consider investing more aggressively, which may provide greater growth potential. •• Understand risk. All investments carry some risk. Market risk, the change in value of your investment in response to stock market conditions, is usually the risk people think of. However, inflation risk, the risk your money will not maintain its purchasing power over time, is equally important. In general, the more risk an investment carries, the greater the potential for a higher return. Those with less risk offer lower potential return. •• Diversify. A diversified allocation can help manage risk. Spreading your money across different asset classes can help smooth out stock market fluctuations and reduce overall risk. •• Think long term. Once you’ve created a diversified investment mix for your age, years to retirement and risk tolerance, stick with it. You’ll want to review your strategy as life changes occur or you near retirement. •• Invest regularly. Making regular automatic contributions, like you do in the plan, is an easy way to invest. Each contribution buys shares in your investment funds—some at lower prices and some at higher prices. Over time, this process may lower the average purchase price of your investments.

* The underlying mutual funds in the portfolios of asset allocation funds are subject to stock market risk and invest in individual bonds whose yields and market values fluctuate, so that your investment may be worth more or less than its original cost. The target date of a target date mutual fund is the approximate date when an investor plans to begin withdrawing their money from the fund. The principal value of a target date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date. Ibbotson, Roger and Kaplan, Paul, “Does asset allocation policy explain 40 percent, 90 percent or 100 percent of performance?” Financial Analysts Journal, Jan./Feb. 2000. Diversification and dollar cost averaging does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. There is no guarantee that your balance will increase over time. 4

The rollover must be completed within 60 days of receipt of the distribution, come from another employer’s plan or an IRA and represent all or a portion of a lump sum distribution, or an installment distribution of less than ten years. In the context of a direct rollover, in which the funds are never actually made payable to you, the 60-day period for completing a rollover is inapplicable. Section II.A. Check (ü) the appropriate box to identify the source of this Rollover. Section II.B. Identify the total amount of the rollover. A certified or bank check must accompany this form for the stated dollar amount. Pre-printed checks are required. Handwritten checks will be returned to the Plan Administrator. Please include your Social Security Number and Plan Number on the check made payable to Reliance Trust Company. Section III. Read the acknowledgment, and then sign and date the form. Note: If you have not previously enrolled in the Plan, you must complete a Beneficiary Form and give it to your Plan Administrator. Do not send to ADP.

NOTE: Rollovers of Roth 401(k) monies may only be made via direct rollover and may not be rolled over from an IRA.

III ACKNOWLEDGMENT, ROLLOVER INVESTMENT DIRECTION AND SIGNATURE I have read and understand the Summary Plan Description and Participant Fee Disclosure Statement, have completed the Beneficiary Form if I have not previously enrolled in the plan, and agree to be bound by the provisions of the Plan. I have also reviewed a description of each of the funds, and understand the objectives, risks, expenses and charges associated with each. I certify that: l I received the distribution from the source indicated above within the last 60 days (60-day requirement not applicable in the case of a direct rollover). l The rollover is from the rollover source indicated above and has not been combined with any money that would disqualify the rollover. l No portion of this rollover contribution represents amounts received as a hardship distribution from an employer plan. I understand that if I do not have a plan account one will be established for my rollover contribution and invested in the plan default fund. Once my account has been established, I will be mailed my account access information and can make investment allocation changes through the plan website or Voice Response System. If I already have a plan account established, I direct that my rollover contribution be invested in accordance with my investment election on file.

In an effort to prevent short-term trading and market timing, many investment companies have established excessive trading and/or redemption fee policies for certain investments. ADP Retirement Services, whenever possible, implements the investment company’s market timing policy (please review the fund’s prospectus for information on a specific fund company’s policies). However, there are instances when ADP Retirement Services may need to implement its own market timing policy, which could differ from the investment company’s policy, in order to ensure compliance with the fund’s prospectus. Because investment options in your retirement savings plan may be subject to these policies, please refer to your Plan Participant Web site (or, if the Web site is not available to you, call a Client Services Representative) for additional information.

The 7-day yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the money market fund than the total return quotation. 2 Commingled Funds are not publicly traded mutual funds and are not listed in public stock market listings such as the Wall Street Journal. 3 Quarter-end returns are for the most recent quarter-end performance. (Quarter-end periods are 3/31, 6/30, 9/30 and 12/31.) 4 10 year or since inception of the fund.

Investment Returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that when an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than the original cost. The returns represent past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. An expense ratio is a fund's annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and includes management fees, administrative fees, and any marketing and distribution fees. Expense ratios directly reduce returns to investors. The expense ratio typically includes the following types of fees: accounting, administrator, advisor, auditor, board of directors, custodial, distribution (12b-1), legal, organizational, professional, registration, shareholder reporting, sub-advisor, and transfer agency. The expense ratio does not reflect the fund’s brokerage costs or any investor sales charges. For publicly traded mutual funds, the net prospectus expense ratio is collected from the fund's most recent prospectus and provided by Morningstar. This is the percentage of fund assets paid for operating expenses and management fees. In contrast to the net expense ratio, the gross expense ratio does not reflect any fee waivers in effect during the time period. Morningstar pulls the prospectus gross expense ratio from the fund’s most recent prospectus. Commingled Fund expense ratios are provided by the investment managers.

For complete information on the funds, please see the prospectus and consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information related to the funds and the investment company. Please read it carefully before investing.

An expense ratio is a fund's annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and includes management fees, administrative fees, and any marketing and distribution fees. Expense ratios directly reduce returns to investors. The expense ratio typically includes the following types of fees: accounting, administrator, advisor, auditor, board of directors, custodial, distribution (12b-1), legal, organizational, professional, registration, shareholder reporting, sub-advisor, and transfer agency. The expense ratio does not reflect the fund’s brokerage costs or any investor sales charges. For publicly traded mutual funds, the net prospectus expense ratio is collected from the fund's most recent prospectus and provided by Morningstar. This is the percentage of fund assets paid for operating expenses and management fees. In contrast to the net expense ratio, the gross expense ratio does not reflect any fee waivers in effect during the time period. Morningstar pulls the prospectus gross expense ratio from the fund’s most recent prospectus. Commingled Fund expense ratios are provided by the investment managers.

Invesco Stable Asset Fund - ADPZ Class STRATEGY: The primary investment objective of the Fund will be to seek the preservation of principal and to provide interest income reasonably obtained under prevailing market conditions and rates, consistent with seeking to maintain required liquidity. The Fund’s returns are based on returns generated by an actively-managed, highly diversified portfolio of investment grade, fixed and floating rate securities. The Fund may invest in such securities directly or indirectly through commingled investment vehicles (the “building block strategy�). This building block strategy may provide greater diversification than could be achieved by investing in individual bonds. This building block strategy also may reduce the unintended impact on portfolio characteristics created by participant cash flow. JPMorgan Core Plus Bond Fund - Class R6 STRATEGY: The investment seeks a high level of current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high-, medium- and lowgrade debt securities. The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in bonds. Under normal conditions, at least 65% of the fund's total assets must be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade. It may invest up to 35% of its net assets in foreign securities, including securities denominated in foreign currencies. The fund's average weighted maturity will ordinarily range between five and twenty years. Vanguard Intermediate Term Bond Index Fund - Admiral Class STRATEGY: The investment seeks the performance of a market-weighted bond index with an intermediate-term dollar-weighted average maturity.

This Index includes all medium and larger issues of U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds that have maturities between 5 and 10 years and are publicly issued. All of the fund's investments will be selected through the sampling process, and at least 80% of the fund's assets will be invested in bonds held in the index. BlackRock High Yield Bond Portfolio - Class K STRATEGY: The investment seeks to maximize total return, consistent with income generation and prudent investment management. The fund invests primarily in non-investment grade bonds with maturities of ten years or less. It normally invests at least 80% of its assets in high yield bonds.

DFA Inflation Protected Securities Portfolio - Institutional Class STRATEGY: The investment seeks to provide inflation protection and earn current income consistent with inflation-protected securities.

American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Value Fund - Institutional Shares STRATEGY: The investment seeks to provide long-term total return on capital, primarily through capital appreciation and some income. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of stocks of large capitalization companies that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT, and NASDAQ. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of Fund net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in stocks from among those in the large-cap category at the time of purchase. DFA US Core Equity 1 Portfolio - Institutional Class STRATEGY: The investment seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The fund purchases a broad and diverse group of securities of U.S. companies with a greater emphasis on small capitalization and value companies as compared to their representation in the U.S. Universe.

Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund - Investor Class STRATEGY: The investment seeks to provide, primarily, a growing stream of income over time and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation and current income. The fund invests primarily in stocks that tend to offer current dividends. It focuses on high-quality companies that have prospects for long-term total returns as a result of their ability to grow earnings and their willingness to increase dividends over time. These stocks typically-but not always-will be large-cap, will be undervalued relative to the market, and will show potential for increasing dividends. The fund seeks to be diversified across industry sectors. Alger Spectra Fund - Class Z STRATEGY: The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund - Admiral Class STRATEGY: The investment seeks to track a benchmark index that measures the investment return of small- and mid-capitalization stocks. The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of S&P Completion Index, a broadly diversified index of stocks of small and mid-size U.S. companies. It invests by sampling the index, meaning that it holds a broadly diversified collection of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full index in terms of key characteristics. These characteristics include industry weightings and market capitalization, as well as certain financial measures, such as price/earnings ratio and dividend yield. Dreyfus/The Boston Company Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund - Class Y STRATEGY: The investment seeks long-term growth of capital. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small-cap and mid-cap U.S. companies.

The fund is non-diversified. Victory Integrity Small-Cap Value Fund - Class R6 STRATEGY: The investment seeks to provide long-term capital growth.

DFA US Small Cap Portfolio - Institutional Class STRATEGY: The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund, using a market capitalization weighted approach, purchases a broad and diverse group of readily marketable securities of U.S. small cap companies.

In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of the U.S. small cap company, the greater its representation in the Portfolio.

Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of small cap U.S. companies.

Aspen Heights Parters: 401k Plan Information Here is information regarding our 401k program (both traditional and ROTH are available). You will be eligible to enroll on the first day of your 7th month with Aspen Heights. Important Information:  Aspen’s employer match for 401k is up to 50% of the first 6 % you put in. To get the full 3% employer match you need to elect at least 6% via payroll deduction. The election can be over any combination of a regular and/or Roth 401k but the employer match will be deposited into a regular 401k account (not a Roth account). Example: you can elect 5% to your Roth IRA and 1% to your regular IRA and that will total the needed 6% to get the full 3% match.  On your 1 year anniversary of starting with Aspen Heights you will be 50% vested in your employer match and on your 2nd anniversary of starting with Aspen Heights you will be 100% vested in your employer match. Being vested means that you can take that portion of the employer match with you if you were to leave our company. You are always 100% vested in the money you contribute, but you have to wait until your vesting dates to get that amount of the employer match. Here is more information on what “vesting” means http://money.cnn.com/retirement/guide/401k_basics.moneymag/index10.htm .  Employees will be auto-enrolled in the 401k at 2% contribution on the first day of their 7th month from date of hire. You will want to go into your account or contact the 401k help line (see number below) to make changes to your contribution rate and choose where you want that money invested. For assistance or to enroll you can call the 401k Participant Help Line at 800-695-7526 or you can go to www.mykplan.com and click “Register Now”, enter your Social Security Number, your Date of Birth, and your Zip code as it appears in ADP. If you are interested in rolling funds from a previous retirement program into ours you will need to wait until you become eligible in our plan and then: 1. Request a check for your funds from your old plan administrator (you will need to contact them to find out how to do that). Your Social Security Number and Plan Number should be printed on the check and it should be made payable to "State Street Bank & Trust Co". It must be a pre-printed (not handwritten) certified or bank check. This check should be sent to you (the employee). IMPORTANT: DO NOT HAVE THE CHECK WRITTEN OUT TO YOU (the employee) ONLY - but it is okay if it says "State Street Bank FBO _(your name) " or "State Street Bank For Benefit Of (your name) ". 2. Once you get the check from your former employer, fill out the attached form. Make sure that the total amount of funds listed on the form matches the total amount of the check. The check and completed form should be brought/sent to me at the following address: Aspen Heights, Attn: Sarah Weiner/Payroll, 1301 S. Capital of Texas HWY, Suite B-201, Austin, TX 78746. If you have any questions you can contact the below Support phone numbers: Rollovers In – 877.401.5725


Also make sure to enter your beneficiaries in your 401k account online. Unfortunately, the beneficiaries you enter in ADP for your life insurance do not transfer over to your 401k so you need to enter beneficiaries for your 401k plan. The beneficiaries you should enter are the people that you want your 401k to go to in the event of your death.

TO ADD BENEFICIARIES FOR YOUR 401K:  log in to the 401k website at www.mykplan.com  click My Account > Manage My Beneficiaries  click Add New Beneficiary  add your Primary Beneficiary (you can have more than one but the percentage needs to add to 100%)  add Secondary Beneficiaries (these would be who would get the money if your primary beneficiaries are no longer alive)  click SAVE after you have added your beneficiaries. If you don’t have someone’s social security information, at least enter their names and all other information you do have. Warm Regards,
