NEW! HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a personal savings account in which funds can only be used for eligible medical ex-penses. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA) the money rolls over year to year; however, only funds that have been deposited in your account at the time of reimbursement can be used. A Health Savings Account can only be established if you are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Care Plan (HDHP). The maximum contribution amount is $3,550 for employee-only health coverage and $7,100 for family coverage. Note: this plan is effective 10-1-2020 through 8-31-2021 - contribution amounts will be based on an 11 month period.
IMPORTANT! FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA) NOTICES • If you currently participate in a Healthcare or Dependent Care FSA, you MUST re-elect a new contribution amount every year to continue to participate. This plan is effective 101-2020 through 8-31-2021 - contribution amounts will be based on an 11 month period. Up to $500 may be rolled over to the next plan year for the health care FSA only. Contribution max: Health FSA—$2,750; DCAP —$5,000. • Beginning 10-1-2020, all FSA accounts will be with National Benefit Services (NBS). You will receive a new debit card after enrollment, please be on the lookout for it to arrive in your mailbox. • Current funds with your TASC FSA account must be spent by January 15, 2021 or they will be forfeited. Your new accounts will be available 10-1-2020 with NBS. • Beginning with the 2020-21 Plan Year, a $500 roll-over will be allowed.

Hours are Monday Friday 8am-7pm. Bilingual assistance is available. • Update your profile information: home address, phone numbers, email, beneficiaries • REQUIRED: Provide correct dependent social security numbers 6
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. All enrollments in pretax benefits are subject to Cafeteria Plan rules; all eligible benefits (medical, medlink, dental, vision, cancer, accident, and FSA) will be pre-taxed. 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 31 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).
A change in number of dependents includes the following: birth, adoption and placement for adoption. Change in Number of Tax You can add existing dependents not previously enrolled whenever a dependent gains eligibility as a Dependents 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.
An event that causes an employee's dependent to satisfy or cease to satisfy coverage requirements Gain/Loss of Dependents' under an employer's plan may include change in age, student, marital, employment or tax dependent Eligibility Status 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 Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change. Programs

Portable, Permanent, Individual Life Insurance for Employees and Their Families As an employee, you can apply for valuable life insurance protection on you and your family under eligibility guidelines established for your employer. Your employer has conveniently agreed to permit you to pay premiums through payroll deduction. This is a summary only. Policy provisions prevail. This brochure is not a contract or an offer to contract. Minimal Cash Values Buy this policy for its life insurance protection, not its cash value. The primary benefit is life insurance. Payment of the Table Premium produces a small cash value (Bench- mark Cash Value). Permanent Life Insurance Coverage Unlike group term life insurance, PureLife-plus is a personally owned, permanent individual life insurance policy to age 121 that can never be canceled or reduced as long as you pay the necessary premiums, even if your health changes. Guaranteed Period Continuous, timely, and uninterrupted payment of the Table Premium guarantees coverage for the Guaranteed Period shown. Texas Life (We) cannot legally predict the premium required to continue coverage after the Guaranteed Period. It may be lower, the same, or higher than the Table Premium. However, if the premium to continue coverage is ever higher, We guarantee a limited right to a partial refund of premium (described below).
Guaranteed Limited Right to Partial Refund of Premium If a premium higher than the Table Premium is ever required to continue coverage after the Guaranteed Period, you have the choice to: a. Pay the higher premium(s) required to continue coverage; or, b. Surrender the policy and receive a partial refund of premium equal to 120 times the minimum monthly premium due at issue (ten years worth of Table Premium). You are eligible for this refund if the actual cash value equals or exceeds the Benchmark Cash Value and you have taken no prior partial surrenders. Portable Once issued, continued employment is not a condition to continue coverage. Coverage is guaranteed as long as required premiums are paid, even after you retire or terminate employment. When employment ends, you can pay equivalent monthly premiums directly or by bank draft (for monthly direct payments we add a monthly fee not to exceed $2.00). Other modes are available. Accelerated Death Benefit Due to Terminal Illness For no added premium, the policy includes an Accelerated Death Benefit Due to Terminal Illness Rider (Form ICC07-ULABR-07). If the insured becomes terminally ill you may elect to claim an accelerated benefit while the insured is still alive in lieu of the insurance proceeds otherwise payable at death. The single sum benefit is 92% of the insurance proceeds less an administrative fee of $150. This is not a long-term care benefit. Terminal Illness is an injury or sickness diagnosed and certified by a qualifying physician that, despite appropriate medical care, is reasonably expected to result in death within 12 months. Other conditions and limitations apply. The right to accelerate benefits under this rider does not extend to any Child Term Life Insurance Rider. However, if the Accelerated benefit is paid, the Child Rider is paid-up term insurance as if the insured had died. Payment of the Accelerated Death Benefit terminates the policy and all other optional benefits/riders without further value. Individual and Family Coverage is Easy to Apply For Subject to age and amount restrictions, you may apply for an individual policy on your life or your spouse’s life (see chart next page for spouse’s minimum/maximum amounts). An individual policy for $ 25,000 is also available on each of your children ages 15 days — 26, and even on each of your grandchildren ages 15 days — 18. (You may cover children ages 18 and younger under the Child Term Life Insurance Rider in lieu of individual policies.) Proof of insurability is required. Most policies are issued based upon the answers to three work and health related application questions.
Policy Mechanics and Other Important Details Premiums are flexible. However, we highly recommend payment of the Table Premium during the Guaranteed Period, and no partial surrenders or policy loans. Table Premium produces a small cash value (Benchmark Cash Value). Paying a lesser premium results in an actual cash value which is less than Benchmark Cash Value, 35

important notices | please read the following notices regarding accelerated death benefits carefully
Important Notice The insurance proceeds, cash values, and loan values will all be reduced to zero and will no longer be payable if Texas Life pays the Accelerated Death Benefit. Important Tax Notice The Accelerated Death Benefit under this rider is intended to qualify for favorable income tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If the Accelerated Death Benefit qualifies for such favorable tax treatment, the benefit will be excludable from your income and not subject to federal income taxation. Tax laws relating to acceleration of life insurance benefits are complex. You should consult a qualified tax or legal advisor to determine the effect on you. Neither Texas Life nor its agents are authorized to give tax or legal advice. Public Assistance Program Notice Receipt of the Accelerated Death Benefit may affect your, your spouse’s or your family’s eligibility for medical assistance (Medicaid), Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), supplementary social security income (SSI), and drug assistance programs. You should consult a qualified tax or legal advisor and social services agencies concerning how receipt of such payment will affect your, your spouse’s and your family’s eligibility for public assistance. Interim Insurance: Interim insurance will be in force on the application date if these conditions are met: (1) the insurance is purchased through payroll deduction; (2) the Salary Deduction Authorization is signed; and, (3) the proposed insured is insurable at standard rates under Our rules and usual practice. Interim insurance remains in effect until the earlier of: (a) the Policy Date; (b) the date We decline the application; (c) the date We notify the applicant that she/he is ineligible for interim insurance; or, (d) the 180th day after the application date.
