Annual Benefit Enrollment

SUMMARY PAGES

Annual Enrollment

Q&A

During your annual enrollment period, you have the opportunity to review, change or continue benefit elections each year. Changes are not permitted during the plan year (outside of annual enrollment) unless a Section 125 qualifying event occurs.

Who do I contact with Questions? For supplemental benefit questions, you can contact your Benefits/HR department or you can call Financial Benefit Services at 1-800-583-6908 for assistance.

Changes, additions or drops may be made only during the annual enrollment period without a qualifying event.

 Employees must review their personal information and verify that dependents they wish to provide coverage for are included in the dependent profile. Additionally, you must notify your employer of any discrepancy in personal and/or benefit information.

Employees must confirm on each benefit screen (medical, dental, vision, etc.) that each dependent to be covered is selected in order to be included in the coverage for that particular benefit.

New Hire Enrollment All new hire enrollment elections must be completed in the online enrollment system within the first 31 days of benefit eligibility employment. Failure to complete elections during this timeframe will result in the forfeiture of coverage.

Where can I find forms? For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights. Click on the benefit plan you need information on (i.e., Dental) and you can find the forms you need under the Benefits and Forms section. How can I find a Network Provider? For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to your benefit website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights. Click on the benefit plan you need information on (i.e., Dental) and you can find provider search links under the Quick Links section. When will I receive ID cards? If the insurance carrier provides ID cards, you can expect to receive those 3-4 weeks after your effective date. For most dental and vision plans, you can login to the carrier website and print a temporary ID card or simply give your provider the insurance company’s phone number and they can call and verify your coverage if you do not have an ID card at that time. If you do not receive your ID card, you can call the carrier’s customer service number to request another card. If the insurance carrier provides ID cards, but there are no changes to the plan, you typically will not receive a new ID card each year.

Don’t Forget!  Update your profile information: home address, phone numbers, email, beneficiaries  REQUIRED: Provide correct dependent social security numbers

SUMMARY PAGES

Section 125 Cafeteria Plan Guidelines A Cafeteria plan enables you to save money by using pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible group insurance premiums sponsored and offered by your employer. Enrollment is automatic unless you decline this benefit. Elections made during annual enrollment will become effective on the plan effective date and will remain in effect during the entire plan year.

CHANGES IN STATUS (CIS): Marital Status

Changes in benefit elections can occur only if you experience a qualifying event. You must present proof of a qualifying event to your Benefit Office within 30 days of your qualifying event and meet with your Benefit/HR Office to complete and sign the necessary paperwork in order to make a benefit election change. Benefit changes must be consistent with the qualifying event.

QUALIFYING EVENTS A change in marital status includes marriage, death of a spouse, divorce or annulment (legal separation is not recognized in all states).

Change in Number of Tax Dependents

A change in number of dependents includes the following: birth, adoption and placement for adoption. You can add existing dependents not previously enrolled whenever a dependent gains eligibility as a result of a valid change in status event.

Change in Status of Employment Affecting Coverage Eligibility

Change in employment status of the employee, or a spouse or dependent of the employee, that affects the individual's eligibility under an employer's plan includes commencement or termination of employment.

Gain/Loss of Dependents' Eligibility Status

An event that causes an employee's dependent to satisfy or cease to satisfy coverage requirements under an employer's plan may include change in age, student, marital, employment or tax dependent status.

If a judgment, decree, or order from a divorce, annulment or change in legal custody requires that you provide accident or health coverage for your dependent child (including a foster child who is your dependent), you may change your election to provide coverage for the dependent child. If the order Judgment/Decree/Order requires that another individual (including your spouse and former spouse) covers the dependent child and provides coverage under that individual's plan, you may change your election to revoke coverage only for that dependent child and only if the other individual actually provides the coverage. Eligibility for Government Programs

Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change.

Regulatory Notices 1. 2. 3.

Initial Notice About Special Enrollment Rights Women’s Health & Cancer Rights Notice Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

HIPAA Notice of Special Enrollment Rights If you decline enrollment for yourself or for an eligible dependent (including your spouse) while Medicaid coverage or coverage under a state children's health insurance program is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after your or your dependents' coverage ends under Medicaid or a state children's health insurance program. If you or your dependents (including your spouse) become eligible for a state premium assistance subsidy from Medicaid or through a state children's health insurance program with respect to coverage under this plan, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after you or your dependents' determination of eligibility for such assistance. To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact your company HR for more information and/or contact the carrier. Information can be obtained from your ID card. Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act Notice If you have had or are going to have a mastectomy, you may be entitled to certain benefits under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, for:  all stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed;  surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance;  prostheses; and  treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema.

These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductibles and coinsurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under this plan. If you would like more information on WHCRA benefits, call your Plan Administrator or HR Manager for the carrier phone number. Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Offer Free Or Low-Cost Health Coverage To Children and Families If you are eligible for health coverage from your employer, but are unable to afford the premiums, some States have premium assistance programs that can help people who are eligible for employer-sponsored health coverage, but need assistance in paying their health premiums. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, you can contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, you can contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, you can ask the State if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. Once it is determined that you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, your employer’s health plan is required to permit you and your dependents to enroll in the plan—as long as you and your dependents are eligible, but not already enrolled in the employer’s plan. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance.

PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY. Our Company’s Pledge to You This notice is intended to inform you of the privacy practices followed by City of Alamo Heights and the Plan’s legal obligations regarding your protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The notice also explains the privacy rights you and your family members have as participants of the Plan. The Plan often needs access to your protected health information in order to provide payment for health services and perform plan administrative functions. We want to assure the plan participants covered under the Plan that we comply with federal privacy laws and respect your right to privacy. City of Alamo Heights requires all members of our workforce and third parties that are provided access to protected health information to comply with the privacy practices outlined below.

Protected Health Information Your protected health information is protected by the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Generally, protected health information is information that identifies an individual created or received by a health care provider, health plan or an employer on behalf of a group health plan that relates to physical or mental health conditions, provision of health care, or payment for health care, whether past, present or future. How We May Use Your Protected Health Information Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, we may use or disclose your protected health information for certain purposes without your permission. This section describes the ways we can use and disclose your protected health information. Payment We use or disclose your protected health information without your written authorization in order to determine eligibility for benefits, seek reimbursement from a third party, or coordinate benefits with another health plan under which you are covered. For example, a health care provider that provided treatment to you will provide us with your health information. We use that information in order to determine whether those services are eligible for payment under our group health plan. Health Care Operations We use and disclose your protected health information in order to perform plan administration functions such as quality assurance activities, resolution of internal grievances, and evaluating plan performance. For example, we review claims experience in order to understand participant utilization and to make plan design changes that are intended to control health care costs. Treatment Although the law allows use and disclosure of your protected health information for purposes of treatment, as a health plan we generally do not need to disclose your information for treatment purposes. Your physician or health care provider is required to provide you with an explanation of how they use and share your health information for purposes of treatment, payment, and health care operations.


SUMMARY PAGES

As permitted or required by law We may also use or disclose your protected health information without your written authorization for other reasons as permitted by law. We are permitted by law to share information, subject to certain requirements, in order to communicate information on health-related benefits or services that may be of interest to you, respond to a court order, or provide information to further public health activities (e.g., preventing the spread of disease) without your written authorization We are also permitted to share protected health information during a corporate restructuring such as a merger, sale, or acquisition. We will also disclose health information about you when required by law, for example, in order to prevent serious harm to you or others. Pursuant to your Authorization When required by law, we will ask for your written authorization before using or disclosing your protected health information. If you choose to sign an authorization to disclose information, you can later revoke that authorization to prevent any future uses or disclosures. To Business Associates We may enter into contracts with entities known as Business Associates that provide services to or perform functions on behalf of the Plan. We may disclose protected health information to Business Associates once they have agreed in writing to safeguard the protected health information. For example, we may disclose your protected health information to a Business Associate to administer claims. Business Associates are also required by law to protect protected health information. To the Plan Sponsor We may disclose protected health information to certain employees of City of Alamo Heights for the purpose of administering the Plan. These employees will use or disclose the protected health information only as necessary to perform plan administration functions or as otherwise required by HIPAA, unless you have authorized additional disclosures. Your protected health information cannot be used for employment purposes without your specific authorization.

COBRA Rights Notice General Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights ** Continuation Coverage Rights Under COBRA** Dear Qualified Beneficiary: CONTINUATION COVERAGE RIGHTS UNDER COBRA Introduction You and your covered dependents, if any, are receiving this notice because you have recently become covered under TIPS Region VIII Cooperative (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 generally 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. The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and to other members of your family who are covered under the Plan when you would otherwise lose your group health coverage. This notice generally 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. This notice gives only a summary of your COBRA continuation coverage rights. For more information about your rights and obligations under the Plan and under federal law, you should either review the Plan's Summary Plan Description or get a copy of the Plan Document from the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator is: City of Alamo Heights 6116 Broadway San Antonio, TX 78209 What is COBRA Continuation Coverage? COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when coverage would otherwise end because of a life event known as a “qualifying event.” Specific qualifying

SUMMARY PAGES

events are listed later in the notice. COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a “qualified beneficiary.” A qualified beneficiary is someone who will lose coverage under the Plan because of a qualifying event. Depending on the type of qualifying event, employees, spouses of employees, and dependent children of employees may be qualified beneficiaries. 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 will lose your coverage under the Plan because either one of the following qualifying events happen: 1. 2.

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 will lose your coverage under the Plan because any of the following qualifying events happens: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

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 enrolled in Medicare (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 will lose coverage under the Plan because any of the following qualifying events happens: 1. 2.   5. 6.

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 enrolled in Medicare (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.”


SUMMARY PAGES

When is COBRA Coverage Available? The plan will offer COBRA continuation to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator has been notified that a qualifying event has occurred. When the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduction of hours of employment, death of the employee, or enrollment of the employee in Medicare (Part A, Part B, or both), the employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the qualifying event. In addition, if the Plan provides retiree health coverage, then commencement of a proceeding in a bankruptcy with respect to the employer is also a qualifying event where the employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the qualifying event. You Must Give Notice of Some Qualifying Events 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. The Plan requires you to notify the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs. You must send this notice to: The Plan Administrator is: City of Alamo Heights 6116 Broadway San Antonio, TX 78209 How is COBRA 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. For each qualified beneficiary who elects COBRA continuation coverage, COBRA continuation coverage will begin either (1) on the date of the qualifying event or (2) on the date that Plan coverage would otherwise have been lost, depending on the nature of the Plan. COBRA continuation coverage is a temporary continuation of coverage. When the qualifying event is the death of the employee, your divorce or legal separation, or a dependent child losing eligibility as a dependent child, COBRA continuation coverage lasts for up to 36 months.

When the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduction of the employee's hours of employment, and the employee became entitled to Medicare benefits less than 18 months before the qualifying event, COBRA continuation coverage for qualified beneficiaries other than the employee lasts until 36 months after the date of Medicare entitlement. For example, if a covered employee becomes entitled to Medicare 8 months before the date on which his employment terminates, COBRA continuation coverage for his spouse and children can last up to 36 months after the date of Medicare entitlement, which is equal to 28 months after the date of the qualifying event (36 months minus 8 months). Otherwise, when the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduction of the employee's hours of employment, COBRA continuation coverage generally lasts for only up to a total of 18 months. There are two 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. This notice should be sent to: The Plan Administrator is: City of Alamo Heights 6116 Broadway San Antonio, TX 78209 Second qualifying event extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage If your family experiences another qualifying event while receiving COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, up to a maximum of 36 months. This extension is available to the spouse and dependent children if the former employee dies, or gets divorced or legally separated. The extension is also available to a dependent child when that child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child. In all of these cases, you must make

Under COBRA, if the qualifying event is a termination or reduction in hours of employment, affected qualified beneficiaries are entitled to continue coverage for up to 18 months after the qualifying event, subject to various requirements. Before HIPAA, this 18-month period could be extended for up to 11 months (for a total COBRA coverage period of up to 29 months from the initial qualifying event) if an individual was determined by the Social Security Administration, under the Social Security Act, to have been disabled at the time of the qualifying event and if the plan administrator was notified of that disability determination within 60 days of the determination and before the end of the original 18-month period. Under HIPAA, if a qualified beneficiary is determined by the Social Security Administration to be disabled under the Social Security Act at any time during the first 60 days of COBRA coverage, the 11-month extension is available to all individuals who are qualified beneficiaries due to the termination or reduction in hours of employment. The disabled individual can be a covered employee or any other qualified beneficiary. However, to be eligible for the 11-month extension, affected individuals must still comply with the notification requirements in a timely fashion. A child that is born to or placed for adoption with the covered employee during a period of COBRA coverage will be eligible to become a qualified beneficiary. In accordance with the terms of the employer's group health plan(s) and the requirements of Federal law, these qualified beneficiaries can be added to COBRA coverage upon proper notification to the Plan Administrator of the birth or adoption. HIPAA restricts the extent to which group health plans may impose preexisting condition limitations. If you were covered by a group health plan(s) prior to your employment with us, your previous employer their insurance carrier should have provided you with a Certificate of Creditable Coverage, a form required by the HIPAA law that describes the health coverage you and your dependents, if any, have or had, and the dates you were


SUMMARY PAGES

covered. IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CERTIFICATE OF CREDITABLE COVERAGE AND ARE ENTITLED TO ONE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR FORMER EMPLOYER. Once you deliver the Certificate of Creditable Coverage to us, you are exempt from any pre-existing condition exclusions in our group health plan(s), provided you had twelve months of creditable coverage (eighteen months if a late enrollment) and have not had more than a sixty three day gap in coverage. Under COBRA, your right to continuation coverage terminates if you become covered by another employer's group health plan that does not limit or exclude coverage for your pre-existing conditions. If you become covered by another group health plan and that plan contains a pre-existing condition limitation that affects you, your COBRA continuation coverage cannot be immediately terminated. However, if the other plan's pre-existing condition rule does not apply to you by reason of HIPAA's restrictions on pre-existing condition clauses, the employer's group health plan(s) may terminate your COBRA coverage.

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

About this Benefit Major medical insurance is a type of health care coverage that provides benefits for a broad range of medical expenses that may be incurred either on an inpatient or outpatient basis.

More than 70% of adults across the United States are already being diagnosed with a chronic disease.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Alamo Heights Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights


Medical - PPO Blue Choice PPO MM09 Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs Coverage Period: 01/01/2018—12/31/2018 Coverage for: Individual/Family | Plan Type: PPO This is only a summary. If you want more detail about your coverage and costs, you can get the complete terms in the policy or plan document at www.bcbstx.com/member/policy-forms/ or by calling 1-800-521-2227. Questions

Answers

Why this Matters:

What is the overall deductible?

For Network: $1,000 Individual/$3,000 Family For Out-of-Network: $2,000 Individual/$6,000 Family Doesn't apply to In-Network preventive care, InNetwork office visits, or prescription drugs. Copays and prescription drug costs don't count toward the overall deductible.

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 3 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible.

Are there other deductibles for specific services?

No.

You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 3 for other costs for services this plan covers.

Is there an out-of-pocket limit on my expenses?

Yes. For Network: $4,000 Individual/$10,200 Family For Out-of-Network: $8,000 Individual/$24,000 Family Rx Out-of-Pocket expense limit: $1,000 Individual/$3,000 Family

The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care expenses.

What is not included in the out-of-pocket limit?

Premiums, balance-billed charges, and health care this plan doesn't cover.

Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit.

Does this plan use a network of providers?

Yes. See www.bcbstx.com or call 1-800-810-2583 for a list of Network Providers.

If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an out-of-network provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 3 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers.

Do I need a referral to see a specialist?

No. You don't need a referral to see a specialist.

You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this plan.

Are there services this plan doesn't cover?

Yes.

Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 5. See your policy or plan document for additional information about excluded services.

Medical - PPO    

Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. 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. 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.) The plan may encourage you to use Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance amounts.

HSA (Health Savings Account)

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

PLAY VIDEO

About this Benefit A Health Savings Account is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to employees who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan. The funds contributed to the account are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), funds roll over and accumulate year to year if not spent.

The interest earned in an HSA is tax free.

Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Alamo Heights Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights


HSA (Health Savings Account) You can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for a wide range of IRS-qualified medical expenses for yourself, your spouse or tax dependents. An IRS-qualified medical expense is defined as an expense that pays for healthcare services, equipment, or medications. Funds used to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses are always tax-free.

What is an HSA? 

 

A tax-advantaged savings account that you use to pay for eligible medical expenses as well as deductible, co-insurance, prescriptions, vision and dental care. Allows you to save while reducing your taxable income. Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There’s no “use it or lose it” penalty. Potential to build more savings through investing. If you maintain a minimum balance of $1,000, your additional funds may be invested in mutual funds yielding tax‐free earnings. A way to accumulate additional retirement savings. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty.

Are there any monthly fees? Monthly maintenance fee of $1.00—Waived if average balance is $500 or more*. Includes use of:  Health Savings Account Debit MasterCard® - to pay charges directly  Online Bill Payment and Mobile Access  Receipt Vault—allows you to upload and store images of receipts online ATM and Outbound Transfer Fee—$2.50 per ATM transaction. In addition to our fee, the bank/ATM you use to withdraw funds may charge you their own fee. $20.00 per Outbound Transfer or Rollover to another HSA Custodian. *The average balance to waive the monthly maintenance fee does not include investment funds.

A Health Savings Account (HSA): 

Using Funds Pre-paid Debit Card: You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept Master Card credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front and wait for reimbursements.

2018 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual: $3,450 Family: $6,900 Catch-Up Contributions: Account holders over the age of 55 who have not yet enrolled in Medicare are eligible to make an additional $1,000 “catch‐up” contribution to their HSA. City of Alamo Heights contributes $1,250 annually to your HSA, if you elect the high deductible plan. The maximum annual individual contribution that you can make is $2,200 and the maximum annual family contribution that you can make is $5,650. If you are over 55, you are entitled to make an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution. Will my HSA Funds be up fronted to me? Like a savings account, you can only withdrawal what you’ve contributed to the account. Funds are not up fronted. The city's contribution is deposited up-front, however, employee contributions will not be available until they are contributed to the account.

Works with a high deductible health plan (HDHP) and lets you set aside a portion of your paycheck ‐ before taxes– into an account to help you pay for medical expenses before you reach your deductible or that you aren’t covered by your plan. It can also help you pay for future medical expenses. Grows with you. If you maintain a balance of $1,000, your additional funds may be invested in mutual funds yielding tax‐free earnings.

About this Benefit Disability insurance protects one of your most valuable assets, your ability to earn a living. This insurance will replace a portion of your income in the event that you become physically unable to work. Short term disability coverage provides benefits when you are unable to work for a short period of time due to a covered sickness or injury.

60% of Americans do not have a “rainy day� fund to cover three months of unanticipated financial emergencies.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Alamo Heights Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights


Short Term Disability Voluntary Short Term Disability

Trial Work Day Period

Dearborn National's Group Voluntary Short Term Disability plans help replace lost income should an insured employee become disabled due to an accident or sickness, including pregnancy or complications from pregnancy.

To encourage employees to return to work, employees may attempt to return to work full-time during their elimination period, without being required to restart the elimination period. Employees can temporarily return to work for a period of up to ½ the elimination period, maximum 14 days, and not have to begin their elimination period again if they stop working due to the same condition.

Eligibility Eligibility is as indicated in the Plan Design Summary. To be eligible, employees must be legally working in the United States and regularly working the minimum number of hours as agreed. Employees may have to complete a Waiting Period. Seasonal, part-time and temporary employees are not eligible.

Elimination Period Elimination Period is the period of time from the onset of disability until benefits begin. The elimination period is indicated in the Plan Design Summary. Unless otherwise indicated, benefits begin upon exhaustion of all other sick leave, vacation, PTO or other salary continuation plans. Total Disability is not required during the elimination period and can be satisfied with days of Partial or Total Disability. Additionally, there is no earnings loss requirement during the elimination period.

Maximum Period Payable Voluntary STD benefits are payable for the complete number of weeks indicated on the Plan Design Summary, or until LTD benefits are payable, whichever occurs first. The Maximum Period shown does not include the elimination period.

Survivor Benefit If a disabled employee dies after receiving disability benefits for more than three consecutive weeks, we will pay the beneficiary of the disabled employee a lump sum benefit equal to the amount shown in the Plan Design Summary.

Worksite Modification Benefit This benefit assists in covering the cost of modifying the disabled employee's worksite to allow that employee to return to work. Once all parties agree on the modification to be performed, we will reimburse the employer the actual cost of the modification, up to the greater of two times the employee's weekly benefit, or $1,500, unless otherwise indicated.

Pre-Existing Condition Limitation Benefits are not payable for disability caused by conditions that existed on the employee's effective date as indicated below:  A sickness or injury for which the employee received medical treatment, or advice was rendered, prescribed or recommended whether or not the sickness was diagnosed at all or within the number of months shown in the Plan Design Summary prior to the employee's effective date, and  Begins within the number of months shown in the Plan Design Summary of the employee's effective date.


Short Term Disability Continuity of Coverage (No Loss/No Gain) If an employee was insured under the prior policy on the day before this policy's effective date due to a continuance or extension of coverage, the employee may have limited coverage under this policy even if they do not satisfy the actively at work requirement. Coverage will be extended to the earlier of the end of the month the employee becomes actively at work, end of any extension period under the prior policy, or the date coverage would otherwise end under this policy. If an employee becomes disabled due to a pre-existing condition, benefits may be payable under our policy if the employee was insured for Voluntary STD with the prior carrier, and was insured at the time coverage changed to this policy, and remained insured under this policy. For benefits to be payable, the employee must satisfy the pre-existing condition exclusion under either our policy, or the prior policy if benefits would have been payable had the prior policy remained in place. The benefit payable will be the lesser of the monthly benefit payable under the prior plan or the monthly benefit payable under our policy.

Definition of Disability Disabled means that the employee is Totally Disabled or Partially Disabled due to an injury or sickness. The employee must be under the regular care of a doctor who is appropriate for the disabling condition. Loss of professional license or certification does not in and of itself mean the employee is Disabled.

Total Disability To be considered Totally Disabled, the insured must be unable to perform the material and substantial duties of their regular occupation and have a loss of income.

Partial Disability To be considered Partially Disabled, the insured must have suffered an injury or sickness, is able to perform some but not all of the material and substantial duties of their regular occupation, and as a result is earning between 20% and the percentage of their pre- disability income indicated in the Plan Design Summary.

Work Incentive Benefit If the employee meets the definition of Partial Disability, they are eligible to receive a Work Incentive Benefit.

To encourage disabled employees to return to work in some capacity, we standardly offer a Work Incentive Benefit on all Voluntary STD contracts. The Work Incentive Benefit pays the full monthly benefit as long as the combination of the benefit plus earnings does not exceed 100% of their pre-disability income. If benefits are due for a period of less than one week, payments will be made at a daily rate of 1/7th of the weekly benefit.

Extension of Coverage for FMLA Leave If an insured employee is eligible for and received approval for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) or any applicable state family and medical leave law, insurance will continue (provided premium continues to be paid) for a period up to the later of:  The leave period permitted by FMLA and any amendments; or  The leave period permitted by applicable state law.

Exclusions

Definition of Disability Disabled means that the employee is Totally Disabled or Partially Disabled due to an injury or sickness. The employee must be under the regular care of a doctor who is appropriate for the disabling condition. Loss of professional license or certification does not in and of itself mean the employee is Disabled.

Total Disability During the Own Occupation Period as indicated in the Plan Design Summary, Totally Disabled means the insured must be unable to perform the material and substantial duties of their regular occupation and/or* have disability earnings less than 20%* of their predisability income.

After the own occ period, Totally Disabled means the insured must be unable to engage in any gainful occupation and/or* have disability earnings less than 20%* of their predisability income. * See Plan Design Summary for class specifics

Partial Disability During the Own Occupation Period as indicated in the Plan Design Summary, Partially Disabled means the insured must have suffered an injury or sickness and as a result is earning between 20%* and the percentage of their pre-disability income as indicated in the Plan Design Summary. Following the own occupation period, Partially Disabled means the insured is gainfully employed and earning between 20%* and the percentage of their predisability income indicated in the Plan Design Summary.

Recurrent Disability If disability for which benefits were payable ends but recurs due to the same or related causes less than 6 months after the end of a prior disability, it will be considered a resumption of the prior disability. Such recurrent disability shall be subject to the provisions of the policy that were in effect at the time the prior disability began. Disability which recurs more than 6 months after the end of a prior disability is subject to:  A new Elimination Period;  A new Maximum Period Payable; and  The other provisions of the policy that are in effect on the date the disability recurs. Disability must recur while the employee’s coverage is in force under the policy.

LTD Monthly Benefit If the employee meets the definition of Total Disability, they are eligible to receive an LTD Monthly Benefit.

Work Incentive Benefit If the employee meets the definition of Partial Disability, they are eligible to receive a Work Incentive Benefit.


Long Term Disability To encourage disabled employees to return to work in some capacity, a Work Incentive Benefit is offered to all Partially Disabled employees. For the number of months indicated in the Plan Design Summary, we will pay the full monthly benefit as long as the combination of the benefit plus earnings does not exceed 100% of their indexed pre-disability income. After this period, our benefit will be calculated by multiplying the benefit times the adjusted loss of salary ratio.

Rehabilitative Incentive Income A unique standard feature of the LTD contract is the Rehabilitation Incentive Income feature. If we identify a partially disabled employee as a candidate for a rehabilitation program, we will work with them to structure a voluntary rehabilitation plan that assists the employee in returning to employment. The Plan details the vocational rehabilitation services available to the employee. While the employee is participating in a voluntary rehabilitation plan, and continues to meet the obligations of the program, we will allow the employee to retain a combination of benefits and disability income in excess of 100% of their indexed pre-disability income, for 12 months. After 12 months, we will offset the LTD benefit by multiplying the benefit times the adjusted loss of salary ratio.

Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion Benefits are not payable for a disability caused by a condition that existed on the employee's effective date as indicated below:  A sickness or injury for which the employee received medical treatment, or advice was rendered, prescribed or recommended whether or not the sickness was diagnosed at all or misdiagnosed within the number of months prior to the employee's effective date as indicated in the Plan Design Summary, and  The condition results in a Disability that begins within the number of months after the employee's effective date as indicated in the Plan Design Summary.

Continuity of Coverage (No Loss/No Gain) If an employee was insured under the prior policy on the day before this policy's effective date due to a continuance or extension of coverage, the employee may have limited coverage under this policy even if they do not satisfy the actively at work requirement. Coverage will be extended to

the earlier of the end of the month the employee becomes actively at work, end of any extension period under the prior policy, or the date coverage would otherwise end under this policy. If an employee becomes disabled due to a pre-existing condition, benefits may be payable under our policy if the employee was insured for LTD with the prior carrier, and was insured at the time coverage changed to our policy, and remained insured under this policy. For benefits to be payable, the employee must satisfy the preexisting condition exclusion under either our policy, or the prior policy if benefits would have been payable had the prior plan remained in place. The benefit payable will be the lesser of the monthly benefit payable under the prior plan or the monthly benefit under our plan.

Mental and Nervous Disorder Limitation Disabilities due to Mental and/or Nervous disorders are limited to the number of months shown in the Plan Design Summary, unless the disabled employee is confined to a facility licensed for the treatment of Mental and Nervous disorders.

Substance Abuse Limitation (Drug and Alcohol) Disabilities due to Substance Abuse disorders are limited to the number of months shown in the Plan Design Summary, unless the disabled employee is confined to a facility licensed for the treatment of Substance Abuse disorders.

Survivor Income Benefit If a disabled employee dies after having been disabled for a minimum of 180 consecutive days and was receiving benefits under the policy, we will pay a lump sum benefit equal to the number of months of gross benefit as indicated in the Plan Design Summary.

Day Care Expense Benefit To assist employees taking advantage of our Rehabilitative Incentive Income feature, we offer Day Care Expense Benefits.

GC14 Limited Benefit Group Cancer Indemnity Insurance Benefits are only payable following a diagnosis of cancer for a loss incurred for the treatment of cancer while covered under the policy. A charge must be incurred for benefits to be payable. When coverage terminates for loss incurred after the coverage termination date, our obligation to pay benefits also terminates for a specified disease that manifested itself while the person was covered under the policy. All benefits are subject to the benefit maximums.

Cancer Treatment Benefits Eligibility

You and your eligible dependents are eligible to be insured under this certificate if you and your eligible dependents meet our underwriting rules and you are actively at work with the policyholder and qualify for coverage as defined in the master application.

Limitations and Exclusions

No benefits will be paid for any of the following: treatment by any program engaged in research that does not meet the definition of experimental treatment; or losses or medical expenses incurred prior to the covered person’s effective date regardless of when specified disease was diagnosed.

Only Loss for Cancer

The policy pays only for loss resulting from definitive cancer treatment including direct extension, metastatic spread or recurrence. Proof must be submitted to support each claim. The policy also covers other conditions or diseases directly caused by cancer or the treatment of cancer. The policy does not cover any other disease, sickness or incapacity which existed prior to the diagnosis of cancer, even though after contracting cancer it may have been complicated, aggravated or affected by cancer or the treatment of cancer.

Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion

No benefits are payable for any loss incurred during the pre-existing condition exclusion period, following the covered person’s effective date as the result of a pre-existing condition. Pre-existing conditions specifically named or described as excluded in any part of the policy are never covered. If any change to coverage after the certificate effective date results in an increase or addition to coverage, the time limit on certain defenses and preexisting condition exclusion for such increase will be based on the effective date of such increase.

Waiting Period

The policy and any attached riders contain a waiting period during which no benefits will be paid. If any covered person has a specified disease diagnosed before the end of the waiting period immediately following the covered person’s effective date, coverage for that person will apply only to loss that is incurred after one year from the covered person’s effective date. If any covered person is diagnosed as having a specified disease during the waiting period immediately following the covered person’s effective date, you may elect to void the certificate from the beginning and receive a full refund of premium. If the policy replaced group specified disease cancer coverage from any company that terminated within 30 days of the certificate effective date, the waiting period will be waived for those covered persons that were covered under the prior coverage. However, the pre-existing condition exclusion provision will still apply.

Termination of Certificate

Insurance coverage under the certificate and any attached riders will end on the earliest of these dates: the date the policy terminates; the end of the grace period if the premium remains unpaid; the date insurance has ceased on all persons covered under this certificate; the end of the certificate month in which the policyholder requests to terminate this coverage; the date you no longer qualify as an insured; or the date of your death.

Limitations and Exclusions

We will not pay benefits for a diagnosis of internal cancer received outside the territorial limits of the United States or a metastasis to a new site of any cancer diagnosed prior to the covered person’s effective date, as this is not considered a first diagnosis of an internal cancer.

of disabling injuries suffered by American workers are not work related. American workers 36% ofreport they always or

usually live paycheck to paycheck.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Alamo Heights Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights


Accident What is accident insurance? Accident insurance offers financial protection by paying a cash benefit if you or an insured dependent are unexpectedly injured in a covered accident. This coverage is offered by your employer which you pay for through convenient deductions from your paycheck. The benefits are paid in lump sum amounts to you (or your beneficiary), and can be used to help pay for health care expenses not covered by your major medical insurance, help replace income lost while not working, or however you choose. This highlight sheet is an overview of your accident insurance. A certificate of insurance will be available after you enroll to explain your coverage in detail.

Who is eligible? You are eligible if you are an active employee who works at least 40 hours per week on a regularly scheduled basis, and are less than age 80. Your spouse (includes domestic partner) must also be less than age 80 to be eligible for coverage, and your dependent child(ren) must be under age 26 to be eligible.

When can I enroll? You can enroll during any scheduled enrollment period, within 31 days of the date you have a change in family status, or within 31 days of the completion of any eligibility waiting period established by your employer.

How much coverage can I purchase? Three accident plans are available to you, Option 1: Plan 1, Option 2: Plan 2, and Option 3: Plan 3. You have the flexibility to enroll for the plan that best meets your financial protection needs. Unless otherwise noted, the benefit amounts payable under each plan are the same for you and your dependent(s).

Am I guaranteed coverage? During designated enrollment periods, this coverage is offered without having to provide information about your or your family’s health. This is called “guaranteed issue” coverage – all you have to do is check the box to enroll and become insured.

I already have medical and disability insurance. Why do I need this too? Costs associated with an accident can add up even with other types of insurance. Once treatment for an injury begins, deductibles and cost sharing (co-pays and/or

coinsurance), and limitations on benefits found in some medical insurance plans may quickly lead to high out-of-pocket costs. In addition, disability insurance will only replace a portion of your income, not all of it. Accident insurance benefits can help cover what other insurance products don’t.

What is covered? This insurance provides benefits for medical treatment and services related to accidental injuries Benefits for specific types of injuries and catastrophic injuries (including accidental death) are also available. Please refer to the benefits table on the following page for more detailed plan information.

Can I keep this insurance if I leave my employer? Yes, you can take this coverage with you. If you leave your employer, you may continue coverage for you and your dependent(s) under a group portability policy. Your spouse may also continue insurance in certain circumstances.

Exclusions This insurance does not provide benefits for any loss that results from or is caused by:  Suicide or attempted suicide, whether sane or insane, or intentionally self-inflicted injury  War or act of war, whether declared or undeclared, or a nuclear, chemical, biological, or radiological event  A covered person's participation in a felony, riot or insurrection  A covered person's service in the armed forces or units auxiliary to it  A covered person's taking drugs, unless as prescribed by or administered by a physician, or being intoxicated as defined by the jurisdiction in which the cause of loss was incurred  While a covered person is on any aircraft: as a pilot, crewmember or student pilot; as a flight instructor or examiner; if it is owned, operated or leased by or on behalf of the policyholder, or any employer or organization whose eligible persons are covered under the policy; or being used for tests, experimental purposes, stunt flying, racing or endurance tests  Operating, learning to operate, serving as a crew member of or jumping or falling from any aircraft  Riding in or driving any motor-driven vehicle in a race, stunt show or speed test All exclusions may not be applicable, or may be adjusted, as required by state regulations in the situs state of a group. Please refer to the certificate for a full listing of exclusions.

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

PLAY VIDEO

About this Benefit Critical illness insurance is designed to supplement your medical and disability coverage easing the financial impacts by covering some of your additional expenses. It provides a benefit payable directly to the insured upon diagnosis of a covered condition or event, like a heart attack or stroke.

$16,500 Is the aggregate cost of a hospital stay for a heart attack.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Alamo Heights Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights


Critical Illness What is critical illness insurance? Critical illness insurance is coverage offered by your employer which you pay for through convenient deductions from your paycheck. It can assist you financially if you or a covered dependent are ever diagnosed with a covered critical illness (shown below). The benefits are paid in lump sum amounts and can serve as a source of cash to use as you wish, whether to help pay for health care expenses not covered by your major medical insurance, help replace income lost while not working, or however you choose. This highlight sheet is an overview of your critical illness insurance. A certificate of insurance will be available after you enroll to explain your coverage in detail.

Who is eligible? You are eligible if you are an active employee who works at least 40 hours per week on a regularly scheduled basis, and are less than age 80. Your spouse (includes domestic partner) must also be less than age 80 to be eligible for coverage, and your dependent child(ren) must be under age 26 to be eligible.

When can I enroll? You can enroll during your scheduled enrollment period, within 31 days of the date you have a change in family status, or within 31 days of the completion of your eligibility waiting period established by your employer.

How much coverage can I purchase? You may enroll for $10,000, $15,000 or $20,000 in coverage. You may also enroll your dependent(s) for the following amounts of coverage:  Spouse: the greater of $5,000 or 50% of your elected coverage amount  Child(ren): $5,000 A benefit reduction of 50% will apply to the coverage amount for you and your dependent(s) when you reach the age of 70.

Am I guaranteed coverage? During designated enrollment periods, this coverage is offered without having to provide information about your health for coverage amounts up to $20,000. This is called “guaranteed issue (GI)” coverage – all you have to do is check the box to enroll and become insured. All amounts of dependent coverage are guaranteed issue.

I already have medical and disability insurance. Why do I need this too? Costs associated with critical illness can pile up even with other types of insurance. Once treatment for an illness begins, deductibles and cost sharing (co-pays and/or coinsurance), and limitations on benefits found in some medical insurance plans may quickly lead to high out-of-pocket costs. In addition, disability insurance will only replace a portion of your income, not all of it. Critical illness insurance benefits can help cover what other insurance products don’t.

How many times will the policy pay? This insurance will pay a benefit multiple times, in the unfortunate event you or a dependent are diagnosed with more than one covered illness. The total amount of benefits payable for covered illnesses for each covered person under the policy is subject to a maximum, as follows:  You – 500% of the coverage amount  Spouse – 500% of the coverage amount  Child(ren) – 300% of the coverage amount If the benefits paid for a dependent reach the coverage maximum, coverage for the dependent will end. If the benefits paid for you reach the coverage maximum, coverage for you and your dependent(s) will end.

What illnesses are covered? This insurance will pay a lump sum benefit if you or a dependent are diagnosed with any of the following covered illnesses while insurance is in effect, subject to any pre-existing condition limitation. Covered Illness

Critical Illness Are any other benefits available? The following benefits are also included with this insurance:  Expanded Cancer Benefits – Offers a benefit if a second opinion is sought for a cancer diagnosis, and a benefit for a prosthesis/wig  Recurrence Benefit – Pays a benefit for a subsequent diagnosis of a covered illness for which a benefit has already been paid under the policy  Health Screening Benefit – Pays a benefit once each year for each covered person when one (or more) of over 25 specified health screening tests occurs

Can I keep this insurance if I leave my employer? Yes, you can take this coverage with you. If you leave your employer, you may continue coverage for you and your dependent(s) under a group portability policy. Your spouse may also continue insurance in certain circumstances.

Important Details Benefit Separation Periods. If a covered person is diagnosed with a covered illness, and is subsequently diagnosed with another covered illness, the following separation periods apply between benefit payments. If the subsequent diagnosis is for:  A different, non-related covered illness than the first diagnosis (e.g. a cancer illness then a vascular illness), then no separation period applies  A covered illness that is related to the first (e.g. two vascular illnesses, like heart attack and stroke), then a 30 day separation period applies  The same covered illness as the first (e.g. two heart attacks), a benefit for the subsequent illness is not available Pre-Existing Condition Limitation. We will not pay a benefit or any increase in benefits for any critical illness for a preexisting condition, unless at the time of a positive diagnosis a covered person has been continuously insured under the policy for 12 months. Pre-existing condition, as used in this limitation, means any critical illness for which medical care is received within the 12 month period prior to the effective date of insurance for a covered person, or within the 12 month period prior to the effective date of any increase in coverage for a covered person. Exclusions. This insurance does not provide benefits for any covered illness that results from or is caused by:  Suicide, attempted suicide or intentionally self-inflicted injury, whether sane or insane  War or act of war, declared or undeclared  A covered person's participation in a felony, riot or insurrection

 

A covered person's engaging in any illegal occupation A covered person's service in the armed forces or units auxiliary to them

All exclusions may not be applicable, or may be adjusted, as required by state regulations in the situs state of a group. Please refer to the certificate for a full listing of exclusions. General Limitations. Benefits under the policy are not payable for any covered illness:  Diagnosed prior to the effective date of insurance for a covered person (except for newborn children)  Diagnosed during an applicable benefit separation period  For which a covered person has already received a benefit payment under the policy, unless the covered illness is included in a recurrence provision  For which a covered person has already received a benefit payment under the recurrence provision In addition, benefits are not payable for any critical illness not included as a covered illness in your certificate.

Notices THIS IS A LIMITED BENEFIT POLICY This limited health benefit plan (1) does not constitute major medical coverage, and (2) does not satisfy the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) because the coverage does not meet the requirements of minimum essential coverage. This benefit highlights sheet is an overview of the insurance being offered and is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not a contract. It in no way changes or affects the policy as actually issued. Only the insurance policy issued to the policyholder can fully describe all of the provisions, terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of your insurance coverage. In the event of any difference between the benefit highlights sheet and the insurance policy, the terms of the insurance policy apply.

About this Benefit Group term life is the most inexpensive way to purchase life insurance. You have the freedom to select an amount of life insurance coverage you need to help protect the well-being of your family. Accidental Death & Dismemberment is life insurance coverage that pays a death benefit to the beneficiary, should death occur due to a covered accident. Dismemberment benefits are paid to you, according to the benefit level you select, if accidentally dismembered.

Motor vehicle crashes are the

#1

cause of accidental deaths in the US, followed by poisoning, falls, drowning, and choking.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Alamo Heights Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights


Life and AD&D Basic and Supplemental Life Eligibility Eligibility is as indicated in the Plan Design Summary. To be eligible, employees must be legally working in the United States and meet the eligibility requirements indicated in the Plan Design Summary. Insured Persons may have to complete a Waiting Period. Seasonal, part-time and temporary employees are not eligible.

Effective Date If an insured person is absent from work due to injury or sickness on the last day of work prior to their effective date, the effective date of coverage will be delayed until 12:01 a.m. on the day coinciding with or next following their return to active work for a period of one day.

Guarantee Issue Life Insurance Amounts up to the Guarantee Issue amount stated in the Plan Design Summary are offered with no need for Evidence of Insurability. Amounts in excess of the Guarantee Issue amount are subject to underwriting approval before becoming effective.

Conversion Insureds who terminate employment, or lose a portion of their life coverage, may be able to convert their Life coverage to individual policies. Upon coverage termination administrators have 31 days after coverage ends to inform the insureds of their right to convert to an individual policy without evidence of insurability. Conversion does not apply to AD&D or Waiver of Premium amounts.

Portability - Supplemental Life If Life coverage ceases for reasons other than retirement, sickness, injury or termination of the policy, eligible insured persons can purchase portable term life insurance without Evidence of Insurability. As long as premiums are paid, portable coverage continues until the insured reaches the maximum age indicated in the plan design summary.

Accelerated Benefits Insureds who are diagnosed as being terminally ill can access a portion of their life insurance benefits while they are alive. The insured can accelerate a percentage of their life insurance amount, up to the maximum amount, as indicated in the Plan Design Summary. If life insurance benefits are subject to age reductions within 12 months of receiving proof of terminal illness, the accelerated death benefit will reduce accordingly. The minimum amount that can be accelerated and the definition of Terminally Ill are shown in the Additional Plan Features.

Waiver of Premium We will continue coverage for insureds who become totally disabled and complete the Elimination Period shown on the Plan Design Summary. Life Insurance will be extended to the age as indicated in the Plan Design Summary, with no premium charge. The onset of the disability must occur before the insured reaches the age indicated in the Additional Plan Features and they must meet the definition of disability for the entire elimination period. The amount of insurance extended will be the amount of Life Insurance in force immediately prior to the date of the Total Disability. This amount is subject to any reductions under the policy.

Consolidated Claim Management for Life and Long Term Disability For those insured under our Life and Long Term Disability programs, we have a seamless claim process for filing claims for Waiver of Premium and Long Term Disability. The claimant simply completes one claim form, and we handle the rest.

Reduction of Benefits The Insured's life insurance amount will reduce upon reaching the ages as indicated in the Plan Design Summary. All reduction percentages are calculated from the original amount.

Limitations and Exclusions Supplemental Life benefits, including Waiver of Premium, are not payable for a loss which is caused by a suicide or attempted suicide within one year of the effective date of coverage.

Termination of Coverage The insured's life insurance will terminate on the earliest of the following dates:  The date the policy is terminated;  The date the insured stops making any required contribution toward payment of premiums;  The date the insured is no longer a member of an eligible class;  The date the insured requests termination of coverage.  The date the insured is no longer covered as a result of a disability, layoff, leave of absence, sabbatical or military leave.

Extension of Coverage If an employee is no longer Actively at Work as a result of a disability, layoff, leave of absence, sabbatical or military duty, they may be able to continue to be eligible for group Life insurance coverage as follows: Disability - Until the end of the month following the period indicated in the Additional Plan Features after which the


Life and AD&D disability began, provided all premiums have been paid and the policy is still in force and has not been replaced with a new carrier. Layoff - Until the end of the month following the period indicated in the Additional Plan Features after which the layoff began, provided all premiums have been paid and the policy is still in force and has not been replaced with a new carrier. Leave of Absence - Until the end of the month following the period indicated in the Additional Plan Features after which the leave of absence began or the period of time in accordance with FMLA, provided all premiums have been paid and the policy is still in force and has not been replaced with a new carrier. Sabbatical - Until the end of the month following the period indicated in the Additional Plan Features after which the sabbatical began, provided all premiums have been paid and the policy is still in force and has not been replaced with a new carrier. Military Leave - Until the end of the month following the period indicated in the Additional Plan Features after which the disability began, provided all premiums have been paid and the policy is still in force and has not been replaced with a new carrier.

Extension of Coverage for FMLA Leave If an insured is eligible for and receives approval for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) or any applicable state, family and medical leave law, insurance will continue (provided premium continues to be paid) for a period up to the later of:  The leave period permitted by FMLA and any amendments; or  The leave period permitted by applicable state law.

Transition of Coverage from a Previous Carrier As an established group life insurance carrier, it has been our experience that most carriers have standardized procedures when it comes to determining responsibility for employee transition situations. Our position has been that the terminating carrier is responsible for anyone who was insured under their contract, but is disabled and does not meet the requirements of becoming insured under our contract. This person may or may not be eligible for Waiver of Premium under the prior policy.

It is our recommendation that this issue be discussed with the terminating carrier to identify any insured's who may not be eligible for coverage on the effective date of our policy. While awaiting the decision of the terminating carrier, it is recommended that the impacted employee apply for conversion. We will cover any eligible insureds who may be on vacation, leave of absence, observing a holiday, etc. on the effective date of our policy.

About this Benefit Individual life is a policy that provides a specified death benefit to your beneficiary at the time of death. The advantage of having an individual life insurance plan as opposed to a group supplemental term life plan is that this plan is guaranteed renewable, portable and typically premiums remain the same over the life of the policy.

Experts recommend at least

x 10 your gross annual income in coverage when purchasing life insurance.

This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Alamo Heights Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofalamoheights


Individual Life with Terminal Illness and Quality of Life Rider The Family Protection Plan: Individual Life Insurance with Terminal Illness Coverage to Age 100 With the Family Protection Plan (FPP), you can provide financial stability for your loved ones should something happen to you. You have peace of mind that you are covered up to age 100.* No matter what the future brings, you and your family will be protected. If faced with a chronic medical condition that required continuous care, would you be able to protect yourself? Traditionally, expenses associated with treatment and care necessitated by a chronic injury or illness have accounted for 86% of all health care spending and can place strain on your assets when you need them most. To provide protection during this time of need, 5Star Life Insurance Company (5Star Life) is pleased to offer the Quality of Life Rider, which is included with your FPP life insurance coverage. This rider accelerates a portion of the death benefit on a monthly basis—4% each month as scheduled by your employer at the group level, and payable directly to you on a tax favored basis. You can receive up to 75% of the current face amount of the life benefit, following a diagnosis of either a chronic illness or cognitive impairment that requires substantial assistance. Benefits are paid for the following:  Permanent inability to perform at least two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) without substantial assistance, or  A permanent severe cognitive impairment, such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of senility requiring substantial supervision.

Affordability—With several options to choose from, select the coverage that best meets the needs of your family. Terminal Illness—This plan pays the insured 30% (25% in Connecticut and Michigan) of the policy coverage amount in a lump sum upon the occurrence of a terminal condition that will result in a limited life span of less than 12 months. Portability—You and your family continue coverage with no loss of benefits or increase in cost should you terminate employment after the first premium is paid. If this happens, we can simply bill you directly. Coverage can never be cancelled by the insurance company or your employer unless you stop paying premiums. Family Protection—Individual policies can be purchased on the employee, their spouse, children and grandchildren. Children & Grandchildren Plan—Policies can be purchased for children and grandchildren ages 15 days to age 24. Convenience—Premiums are taken care of simply and easily through payroll deductions. Protection You Can Count On—Within 24 hours after receiving notice of an insured’s death, an emergency death benefit of the lesser of 50% of the coverage amount, or $10,000, will be mailed to the insured’s beneficiary, unless the death is within the two-year contestability period and/or under investigation. This product also contains no war or terrorism exclusions.
