Pre-Tax Benefits


When you enroll in any of the benefits as defined as pre-tax in the biweekly
premium chart on the previous page, your share of the premium for you and
your covered dependents will be deducted from your pay before federal
income and social security taxes are calculated and deducted. Due to their
pre-tax status, the IRS has imposed strict guidelines on additions or deletions to
pre-tax benefits. Please review the section entitled “Length of Time Elections are
Binding” for further information and explanation of when changes can be
made to current benefit elections.

Pre-tax premiums will be paid on a perspective basis. Any retroactive premiums
payable due to a status change or special enrollment event will be deducted
post-tax.


Imputed Income



The IRS requires you to be taxed on the value of any group term life insurance over
$50,000. This includes the value of any employer-provided group term life insurance
as well as the value of any supplemental group term life insurance you pay for with
payroll deducted pre-tax premiums. The taxable value of this life insurance
coverage is called “imputed income.” Even though you don’t receive cash, you
are taxed as if you received cash in an amount equal to the value of this coverage.
Your pay statement reflects the value of the employer provided group term
coverage as both a taxable earning and a benefit deduction. This allows for tax
reporting and appears on your pay statement as Group Term Life (GTL).


7

Change in Status & Special



Enrollment



The following are considered a change in status by the IRS:

A change in the associate’s legal marital status, for example marriage, divorce, spouse’s
death.

A change in the number of dependents such as birth, death, or adoption.
Changes in employment status of the associate or of the associate’s spouse or
dependents, including the beginning/ending of employment, a change due to a strike, a
change from full-time to part-time or vice versa, the beginning/end of an unpaid leave of
absence, or a change in work site. Also, if employment status affects eligibility under the
plan.

A dependent becoming eligible or ceasing to be eligible for coverage due to age,
student status, obtaining other group coverage, or any similar circumstance.

A change in the residence of the associate, or the associate’s spouse or dependent.
The Medical/dental coverage changes must satisfy a consistency rule meaning that the
change must be on account of and correspond with a change in status that affects eligibility
for coverage under the medical/dental plan, such as a change that results in an
increase/decrease in the number of family members/dependents who may benefit from
coverage. Documentation of the change in status will be required.
If you or your eligible dependent(s) are covered under Medicaid or a State Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP) and that coverage ends, you may be able to enroll yourself and
any affected dependent(s) in medical coverage. You must request special enrollment within
60 days after the Medicaid or CHIP coverage ends. If you or your eligible dependent
become eligible under Medicaid or CHIP for financial assistance to pay for health coverage,
you may disenroll from your employer’s coverage and enroll yourself and dependent(s) in
Medicaid or CHIP. You must disenroll from your employer’s coverage and enroll in Medicaid
or CHIP within 60 days after the date a government agency determines that you are eligible
for that financial assistance.

FSA
Flexible Spending Accounts - HealthEquity


Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) provide you with an important tax advantage
that can help you pay healthcare and dependent care expenses on a pre-tax
basis. By anticipating your family’s healthcare and dependent care costs for the
plan year, you can lower your taxes.


Healthcare FSA


If you enroll in one of the copay medical plans, you are eligible to contribute
to a healthcare flexible spending account (HCFSA). A healthcare FSA
enables you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for qualified expenses
including medical, dental, and vision. You can also use your FSA funds to pay
for qualified expenses of your spouse and tax dependents. For information on
qualified expenses visit HealthEquity.com/QME. With healthcare FSAs, the
entire elected amount is available to you after your first payroll deduction of
the year.

Use your healthcare FSA funds
When you sign up, you will receive a debit card that can be used to pay for
qualified expenses. An alternative method would be to submit the expenses
through the online tool for reimbursement. Remember to save all receipts for
reimbursement and validation. HealthEquity offers an easy-to-use
documentation library that allows you to upload and store receipts within the
member portal. Visit www.fsastore.com for a variety of items that qualify for
healthcare FSA funds.

Dependent Care Reimbursement Account



Any benefit eligible associate with eligible dependents and qualified
dependent care expenses can contribute to a dependent care
reimbursement account (DCRA). A DCRA enables you to set aside pre-tax
dollars to pay for qualified dependent care expenses. Funds can be used to
pay for daycare, preschool, elderly care or other dependent care. To qualify
for a DCRA, the IRS requires that the dependent care is necessary for you and
your spouse (if applicable) to work, look for work, or attend school full-time.

Qualified Dependents
To be considered eligible, dependents must meet one of the following
criteria:
• Children under the age of 13
• A spouse who is physically or mentally unable to care for him/herself
• Any adult you claim as a dependent on your tax return that is physically
or mentally unable to care for him/herself


Reimbursement for Dependent Care Expenses
You must pay for dependent care costs out-of-pocket and submit for
reimbursement either through the HealthEquity member portal, or by using
HealthEquity’s DCRA reimbursement form. Remember to save all receipts for
reimbursement and validation of expenses.

Two dental plans are offered through The Standard. Both plans have in and out-
of-network benefits. The in-network benefits and coverage are mostly the same on
both plans. The differences between the plans include the number of cleanings
covered per year, Plan 1 allows four while Plan 2 allows two. The other difference is
how Standard pays the out-of-network dentists, which affects how much you will
have to pay out-of-pocket if you go to an out-of-network provider for services.


What are the differences between Plan 1 and Plan 2?


Plan 1 Plan 2


Covers 4 cleanings per year Covers 2 cleanings per year

Plan 1 pays out-of-network dentists Plan 2 pays out-of-network dentists

Group (LFG). Lincoln offers specialization, growth, flexibility, competitive rates and
personal service.


Eligibility requirements to become a participant in the 401(k) Retirement Savings
Plan are met on the first of the month after attainment of age 18 and completion
of 3 months of employment. On the first of the month after completion of 3 months
of employment, the associate may register for an online account with Lincoln. At
that time, the associate can go to lfg.com/register and follow the prompts. One
month after meeting eligibility requirements, regular full-time or part-time
associates will automatically be enrolled in the 401k Savings Plan at a 3% deferral
rate. Associates that do not wish to be automatically enrolled or make a salary
deferral to the plan, must opt-out through Lincoln’s website once eligible to register
for an on-line account, or you must contact a Lincoln retirement consultant.
Contact information for the retirement consultants can be found in UKG; go to
Myself > Company Benefits Info. You may elect the percentage of pay or flat rate
per pay period that you wish to contribute at any time during the year by
establishing your Lincoln Financial account online at www.LFG.com, and making
your deferral election in your online account.


Eligible participants may contribute on a pre-tax or post-tax basis up to the annual
IRS dollar limit. Associates reaching age 50 or older can contribute additional
catch-up contributions. Associates that contribute to the 401(k) Retirement
Savings Plan will be eligible to receive the Plan’s Matching Contributions described
below on the first of the month upon attainment of age 21 and completion of one
year of service and at least 1000 hours. Associates are always 100% vested in the
company’s Matching Contributions.

When You Contribute… The Plan Will Match…

Over 3% and up to 5% of pay 50% of your contribution
Over 5% of pay 0%

At the end of each year, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors,
associates may receive an annual Target Contribution if the associate meets the
eligibility requirements and is actively employed on the last day of the year. The
Target Contribution is estimated at 2%-4% of pay but is tied to Company
performance so it may differ depending on how the Company does each year.
Eligible Associates will receive this contribution even if they do not contribute to the
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. Vesting for the annual Target Contribution is graded
over a 2-to-6-year period.
