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. Elections made during annual enrollment will become effective on the plan effective date or upon required underwriting approval and will remain in effect during the entire plan year.
CHANGES IN STATUS (CIS):
Changes in benefit elections can occur only if you experience a qualifying event. You must submit a Benefits Change Form and proof of a qualifying event to your Benefit Office with 31 days of your qualifying event in order to make a benefit election change. Benefit changes must be consistent with the qualifying event.
QUALIFYING EVENTS
Marital Status
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.
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 Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change. Government Programs

Please note, limits and exclusions may apply when obtaining coverage as a married couple or when obtaining coverage for dependents. Potential Spouse Coverage Limitations: When enrolling in coverage, please keep in mind that some benefits may not allow you to cover your spouse as a dependent if your spouse is enrolled for coverage as an employee under the same employer. Review the applicable plan documents, contact Financial Benefit Services, or contact the insurance carrier for additional information on spouse eligibility. FSA/HSA Limitations: Please note, in general, per IRS regulations, married couples may not enroll in both a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and a Health Savings Account (HSA). If your spouse is covered under an FSA that reimburses for medical expenses then you and your spouse are not HSA eligible, even if you would not use your spouse's FSA to reimburse your expenses. However, there are some exceptions to the general limitation regarding specific types of FSAs. To obtain more information on whether you can enroll in a specific type of FSA or HSA as a married couple, please reach out to the FSA and/or HSA provider prior to enrolling or reach out to your tax advisor for further guidance. Potential Dependent Coverage Limitations: When enrolling for dependent coverage, please keep in mind that some benefits may not allow you to cover your eligible dependents if they are enrolled for coverage as an employee under the same employer. Review the applicable plan documents, contact Financial Benefit Services, or contact the insurance carrier for additional information on dependent eligibility. Disclaimer: You acknowledge that you have read the limitations and exclusions that may apply to obtaining spouse and dependent coverage, including limitations and exclusions that may apply to enrollment in Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts as a married couple. You, the enrollee, shall hold harmless, defend, and indemnify Financial Benefit Services, LLC from any and all claims, actions, suits, charges, and judgments whatsoever that arise out of the enrollee's enrollment in spouse and/or dependent coverage, including enrollment in Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts.
If your dependent is disabled, coverage may be able to continue past the maximum age under certain plans. If you have a disabled dependent who is reaching an ineligible age, you must provide a physician’s statement confirming your dependent’s disability. Contact your HR/Benefit Administrator to request a continuation of coverage. 9

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE
About this Benefit A Cafeteria Plan is designed to take advantage of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The service is available to you and your family members twenty- four hours a day, 365 days a year, and provides resources to help employees find solutions to everyday issues such as financing a car or selecting child care, as well as more serious problems such as alcohol or drug addiction, divorce, or relationship problems.
Services include: toll-free phone access to master’s-level consultants, up to three face-to-face sessions to help with more serious issues; and online resources. There is no additional charge for utilizing the program. Participation is confidential and strictly voluntary, and employees do not have to have filed a disability claim or be receiving benefits to use the program. However, if you become disabled and are receiving benefits, Unum's On Claim Support can provide additional resources including: coaching on how to communicate effectively with medical personnel, conducting consumer research for medical equipment and supplies, assessing emotional needs and locating counseling resources. Return to Work/Work Incentive Benefit: Unum supports efforts that enable a disabled employee to remain on the job or return to work as soon as possible. If you are disabled but working part time with monthly disability earnings of 20% or more of your indexed monthly earnings, during the first 12 months, the monthly benefit will not be reduced by any earnings until the gross disability payment plus your disability earnings, exceeds 100% of your indexed monthly earnings. The monthly benefit will then be reduced by that amount.

Definition of Disability: You are disabled when Unum determines that: • you are limited from performing the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation due to your sickness or injury; • you have a 20% or more loss in indexed monthly earnings due to the same sickness or injury; and • during the elimination period you are unable to perform any of the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation. After benefits have been paid for 24 months, you are disabled when Unum determines that due to the same sickness or injury, you are unable to perform the duties of any gainful occupation for which you are reasonably fitted by education, training or experience. You must be under the regular care of a physician in order to be considered disabled. Gainful Occupation: Gainful occupation means an occupation that is or can be expected to provide you with an income within 12 months of your return to work, that exceeds 80% of your indexed monthly earnings if you are working or 60% of your indexed monthly earnings if you are not working.

After you have received monthly disability payments for 12 months, your gross disability payment will be reduced by such items as additional deductible sources of income you receive or are entitled to receive under: state compulsory benefit laws; automobile liability insurance; legal judgments and settlements; certain retirement plans; salary continuation or sick leave plans; other group or association disability programs or insurance; and amounts you or your family receive or are entitled to receive from Social Security or similar governmental programs. Regardless of deductible sources of income, an employee who qualifies for disability benefits is guaranteed to receive a minimum benefit amount of 25% of the gross disability payment.
Mental Illness/Self-Reported Symptoms: The lifetime cumulative maximum benefit period for all disabilities due to mental illness and disabilities based primarily on self-reported symptoms is 24 months. Only 24 months of benefits will be paid for any combination of such disabilities even if the disabilities are not continuous and/or are not related. Payments would continue beyond 24 months only if you are confined to a hospital or institution as a result of the disability. Instances When Benefits Would Not Be Paid: Benefits will not be paid for disabilities caused by, contributed to by, or resulting from: • intentionally self-inflicted injuries; • active participation in a riot; • commission of a crime for which you have been convicted;
• •
loss of professional license, occupational license or certification; pre-existing conditions (see definition).
Unum will not cover a disability due to war, declared or undeclared, or any act of war. Unum will not pay a benefit for any period of disability during which you are incarcerated.
