Who is Eligible?

Coverage for certain benefits may depend on rules specific to each individual insurance company.

Dependents You may cover your dependents under the plans that offer dependent coverage. Generally, eligible dependents are: • Your legal spouse • Your unmarried or married dependent children, up to age 26. Depending on your medical plan, you may also be able to cover your domestic partner. Amplify's dental, vision, as well as certain voluntary benefit plans allow you to cover your domestic partner.

1.Know your Benefits Benefits are a big part of your total compensation, so it's important that you get the maximum value from your benefit plans. Be sure to review all benefits carefully and make the elections that fit your personal or family's needs. If you have any questions about any of the benefits available to you, please call or email Amplify's Benefits Department at (224) 424-5400 or Benefits@AmplifyHRM.com.

2.Choose your Benefits Carefully Your elections will remain in effect until the next open enrollment period, unless you experience a qualifying status change event (see below for more information on status change events). The specific open enrollment dates are announced each year prior to the open enrollment period beginning.

3.Social Security Numbers Health insurers are required to report certain information about health plan members and their insurance coverage to the IRS each year, including member social security numbers. Be sure you have entered the Social Security number for each dependent you are enrolling in coverage.

4.Flexible Spending Accounts Flexible Spending Account elections must be made each year. If you are a new hire, your election is valid from your benefits effective date through December 31st of each year. You must make a new election for the subsequent year during the open enrollment period prior to January 1st.

5. Health Savings Accounts Health Savings Account contributions can be started or stopped at any time during the year (at the beginning/end of a month), however, they are processed as an annualized amount. HSA deductions will end at the end of each year and a new annualized amount must be elected for the subsequent year during the open enrollment period prior to January 1st.

6. Qualifying Life Events/Status Changes Your elections under the plan are generally irrevocable for the plan year under Internal Revenue Code Section 125. However, the IRS provides specific instances when an employee can make mid-year election changes. Note that the regulations require that if a change in status occurs, the change in election must be consistent with that event. For example, if an employee divorces, the employee may drop coverage for the spouse but not for themselves or other covered dependents. Other examples of status changes events are marriage, loss of certain other health coverage, entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid, HIPAA special enrollment rights, etc.

4


If you experience a status change event and want to change your benefit plan election(s), you must make the change within 30 days of the event. Note that for changes to your health plan, the insurance carrier has the final determination as to the validity of the status change. For questions about status change, please contact Amplify's Benefits Department at (224) 424- 5400 or Benefits@AmplifyHRM.com.

United HealthCare All Savers Choice Plus UHC’s All Savers Choice Plus plans allow members to choose network providers or providers who are not part of UHC’s network. Keep in mind that when you see providers who are not in network, your outof-pocket costs can be considerably higher than when you see a network provider.

7


United HealthCare All Savers Choice Plus HSA This plan is a Health Savings Account (HSA) qualified plan, which allows member to contribute pretax dollars to an HSA account. Because it is HSA-qualified, there are certain requirements of the plan design. One of those requires that the deductible be met before any benefits are payable. This means you will pay out-of-pocket any time you seek care under the plan, including doctor visits and prescriptions until you have reached your deductible.

7


Seeking Services For all plan types, members can manage their care through a primary care physician (PCP), although designating a PCP is generally not required for most plans. Providers both in- and out-of-network can be accessed without a referral. Note that some plans do not provide out-of­ network coverage. Your available plans may or may not provide out-of-network coverage, depending on the plans your employer is offering. The plan side-by-side comparison on the following pages will indicate which plans, if any, do not provide out-of-network coverage. When seeing an in-network provider, you can expect to pay a copay, coinsurance, and/or a deductible depending on the provider or type of service you are seeking. For example, you may have to pay a copay for a visit to your PCP. If you have in-patient surgery, you may be responsible for a deductible and coinsurance. "Virtual visits" provide live consultation with board-certified doctors, via online video, for many non-emergency medical and behavioral health needs. This provides added convenience 24 hour a day, seven days a week, generally at a reduced or no copay. As always, check your plan Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) for your specific coverage. See the plan side-by-side comparison on the following page(s) or the plan Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) for more detailed information.

Dental Plans MetLife Dental PPO plans are designed to help you get the dental care you need and help lower your costs. The plans cover a wide range of services both in and out of network. By using an in- network dentist, you can expect to pay less out-of-pocket for covered services than when using a non-network dentist. Benefits are payable immediately from the start date of an individual?s benefits. Plan benefits for in-network covered services are based on a percentage of the negotiated fee ? the fee that participating dentists have agreed to accept as payment in full for covered services, subject to the deductibles, copayments, cost sharing and benefit maximums. Negotiated fees are subject to change.

The MetLife Vision PPO plan, you have the flexibility choose one of the many in-network providers or any vision provider outside of the network. Remember, however that you'll find more savings by seeing an in-network provider.

There are two basic types of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA): Medical FSA and Dependent Care FSA. A Medical FSA allows employees enrolled in a medical plan to deposit pre-tax funds into an account that can be used to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. It can also be used to pay for dental and vision expenses. The money in the account must be used; otherwise any money left in the account over $500 for 2020 or $550 for 2021 must be forfeited. Amounts left in the account of $500 for 2020 or $550 for 2021or less can be rolled over into the next plan year. If your company offers a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and you are contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA), you cannot enroll in the standard Medical FSA. However, you can enroll in a Limited Benefit Medical FSA, which reimburses only for vision and dental expenses until you have reached your plan's deductible. Once you have reached your deductible, the Limited Benefit FSA can reimburse for all eligible medical expenses. A Dependent Care FSA allows employees to deposit pre-tax dollars to use for day care expenses. Unused Dependent Care FSA funds must be forfeited; there is no roll-over provision.

17


Transit & Parking If you ride the subway, bus, train, or vanpool; or if you pay for parking at your place of employment, you can use pre-tax dollars to help pay for the cost of your commute and/ or parking by contributing to a Transit & Parking plan. The IRS allows employees to set aside up to $270 per month for transit expenses and $270 per month for parking.

LEGAL NOTICES

AMPLIFYHRM.COM 32


LEGAL NOTICES AMPLIFY HR MANAGEMENT AND/OR YOUR EMPLOYER RESERVE(S) THE RIGHT TO CHANGE, AMEND OR TERMINATE ANY BENEFITS PLAN AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON. PARTICIPATION IN A BENEFIS PLAN IS NOT A PROMISE OR GUARANTEE OF FUTURE EMPLOYMENT. RECEIPT OF BENEFITS DOCUMENTS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ELIGIBILITY. THESE NOTICES DO NOT APPLY TO ANY BENEFITS YOUR EMPLOYER OFFERS OUTSIDE OF AMPLIFY HR MANAGEMENT. The Benefits eBook, combined with these legal notices, provides an overview of the benefits available to eligible employees and their dependents. In all cases, the official plan documents govern and this Benefits eBook is not, and should not be relied upon as a governing document. In the event of a discrepancy between the information presented in the Benefits Guide and official plan documents, the official plan documents will govern.

STATEMENT OF MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS

This Benefits eBook constitutes a Summary of Material Modifications (SMM) or Summary of Material Reductions (SMR), as applicable. It is meant to supplement and/or replace certain information in the SPD, so retain it for future reference along with your SPD. Please share these materials with your covered family members.

SUMMARY OF BENEFITS COVERAGE

A Summary of Benefits Coverage (SBC) for each of the employer-sponsored medical plans is available by contacting the Amplify HR Management Benefits Department at (224)424-5400.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT CREDITABLE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE AND MEDICARE

The purpose of this notice is to advise you that the prescription drug coverage under your employer’s medical plan is expected to pay out, on average, at least as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage will pay in 2021. This is known as “creditable coverage.”

Why this is important: if you or your covered dependent(s) are enrolled in any prescription drug coverage during 2021 listed in this notice and are or become covered by Medicare, you may decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan later and not be subject to a late enrollment penalty — as long as you had creditable coverage within 63 days of your Medicare prescription drug plan enrollment. You should keep this notice with your important records. If you or your family members aren’t currently covered by Medicare and won’t become covered by Medicare in the next 12 months, this notice doesn’t apply to you. Please read the notice below carefully. It has information about prescription drug coverage with your employer and prescription drug coverage available for people with Medicare. It also tells you where to find more information to help you make decisions about your prescription drug coverage. NOTICE OF CREDITABLE COVERAGE

You may have heard about Medicare’s prescription drug coverage (called Part D) and wondered how it would affect you. Prescription drug coverage is available to everyone with Medicare through Medicare prescription drug plans. All Medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. Individuals can enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan when they first become eligible, and each year from October 15 through December 7. Individuals leaving employer/union coverage may be eligible for a Medicare Special Enrollment Period. If you are covered by one of your employer’s prescription drug plans, you’ll be interested to know that the prescription drug coverage under the plan is, on average, at least as good as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage for 2021. This is called creditable coverage. Coverage under one of these plans will help you avoid a late Part D enrollment penalty if you are or become eligible for Medicare and later decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan.

If you decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan and you are an active employee or family member of an active employee, you may also continue your employer coverage. In this case, your employer’s plan will continue to pay primary or secondary as it had before you enrolled in a Medicare prescription drug plan. If you waive or drop employer coverage, Medicare will be your only payer. You can re-enroll in the employer plan at annual enrollment or if you have a special enrollment event for the employer plan, assuming you remain eligible. You should know that if you waive or leave coverage with your employer’s plan and you go 63 days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage (once your applicable Medicare enrollment period ends), your monthly Part D premium will go up at least 1% per month for every month that you did not have creditable coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without coverage, your Medicare prescription drug plan premium will always be at least 19% higher than what most other people pay. You’ll have to pay this higher premium as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to enroll in Part D. You may receive this notice at other times in the future — such as before the next period you can enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage, if your employer plan coverage changes, or upon your request. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS UNDER MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE

More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the Medicare & You handbook. Medicare participants will get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare prescription drug plans. Here’s how to get more information about Medicare prescription drug plans: • • •

Visit www.medicare.gov for personalized help. Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see a copy of the Medicare & You handbook for the telephone number). Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.

For people with limited income and resources, extra help paying for a Medicare prescription drug plan is available. Information about this extra help is available from the Social Security Administration (SSA). For more information about this extra help, visit SSA online at www.socialsecurity.gov or call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). Remember: Keep this notice. If you enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan after your applicable Medicare enrollment period ends, you may need to provide a copy of this notice when you join a Part D plan to show that you are not required to pay a higher Part D premium amount. For more information about this notice or your prescription drug coverage, contact: Anthony Quinn Executive Vice President, Benefits & HR 1 Overlook Point, Suite 550 Lincolnshire, IL 60069 (224) 424-5400

HIPAA SPECIAL ENROLLMENT NOTICE NOTICE OF SPECIAL ENROLLMENT RIGHTS FOR HEALTH PLAN

If you have declined enrollment in your employer’s healthplan for you or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you or your dependents may be able to enroll in some coverages under these plans without waiting for the next Open Enrollment period, provided you request enrollment within 30 days after your other coverage ends. In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your eligible dependents, provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption. Your employer’s plan will also allow a special enrollment opportunity if you or your eligible dependents either: • •

Lose Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage because you are no longer eligible, or Become eligible for a state’s premium assistance program under Medicaid or CHIP.

Note: If your dependent becomes eligible for special enrollment rights, you may add the dependent to your current coverage or change to another medical plan.

WOMEN’S HEALTH AND CANCER RIGHTS ACT (WHCRA) 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.

34


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 medical carrier at the phone number listed on the back of your ID card.

NEWBORNS’ AND MOTHERS’ HEALTH PROTECTION ACT NOTICE Group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under Federal law, restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a cesarean section. However, Federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, plans and issuers may not, under Federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the insurance issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours). If you would like more information on maternity benefits, call your medical carrier at the phone number listed on the back of your ID card.

MICHELLE’S LAW NOTICE EXTENDED DEPENDENT MEDICAL COVERAGE DURING STUDENT MEDICAL LEAVES

Your employer’s plan may extend medical coverage for dependent children if they lose eligibility for coverage because of a medically necessary leave of absence from a post-secondary educational institution (including a college or university). Coverage may continue for up to a year, unless the child’s eligibility would end earlier for another reason. Extended coverage is available if a child’s leave of absence from school — or change in school enrollment status (for example, switching from full-time to part-time status) — starts while the child has a serious illness or injury, is medically necessary, and otherwise causes eligibility for student coverage under the plan to end. Written certification from the child’s physician stating that the child suffers from a serious illness or injury and the leave of absence is medically necessary may be required. If the coverage provided by the plan is changed during this one-year period, the plan will provide the changed coverage for the remainder of the leave of absence.

TAXATION OF BENEFITS

The taxation of certain benefits may vary at the local, state and federal level. You should consult your tax advisor if you have any questions about the proper treatment of any benefits.

Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, 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, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272). If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of July 31, 2020. Contact your State for more information on eligibility –

We are required by the privacy regulations issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) to maintain the privacy of Protected Health Information and to provide individuals covered under our group health plan with notice of our legal duties and privacy practices concerning Protected Health Information. We are required to abide by the terms of this Notice so long as it remains in effect. We reserve the right to change the terms of this Notice of Privacy Practices as necessary and to make the new Notice effective for all Protected Health Information maintained by us.

PHI includes information of persons living or deceased. USES AND DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION The following categories describe different ways that we use and disclose PHI. For each category of uses and disclosures we will explain what we mean and, where appropriate, provide examples for illustrative purposes. Not every use or disclosure in a category will be listed.
