3 Benefit Eligibility You must enroll in benefits by the date you become eligible for benefits in order to have coverage for the current calendar year. (You can enroll anytime between the date you receive your first paycheck and before midnight of your eligibility date.) You are eligible for benefit coverage: For weekly and bi-weekly paid non-exempt employees: on the first day of the month following 60 days from your hire date, if you are an active, full-time, weekly paid employee (e.g., if you are hired on March 16, you are eligible for coverage on June 1). For semi-monthly and bi-weekly paid exempt employees: on the first day of the month following one month from your hire date (e.g., if you are hired on March 16, you are eligible for coverage on May 1). Your current dependents are eligible for certain coverages (medical, dental, vision and supplemental dependent life insurance) on the same day you become eligible for employee coverage. If you acquire additional dependents at later dates due to marriage, childbirth or adoption, they are eligible to be added to your coverage immediately. Your eligible dependents are: Your legally married spouse with whom you have a certificate of marriage recognized under federal law. Your legally married spouse by a common law marriage is not considered an eligible dependent. Your children up to age 26 through our medical, dental, vision and/or life insurance plans. Disabled adult children who are not capable of supporting themselves because of a total mental or physical disability, provided that the disability began on or before his or her 26th birthday and you complete a certification of disability form and a physician s statement of disability form. Coverage may continue as long as your child is disabled. Eligible children do not include foster children, grandchildren, children living with you for whom you have legal custody or guardianship, or other children living with you. CCBCC reserves the right to request proof of your dependent s eligibility at any time. If you do not provide the required documentation, your dependents will not have coverage.

4 Get Help Choosing Your Benefits Introducing ALEX, your personal benefits counselor Picking the right benefit plans can be a challenge. Which medical plan is best for me? How much should I save in my flexible spending accounts? Should I get extra life insurance? Does a health savings account make sense for me? The decisions are important, and a lot goes into making the right choice. To make the process easier for you, CCBCC has brought in an easy-to-use online tool called ALEX. How ALEX works is simple. All you have to do is log on and respond to ALEX s questions. ALEX will prompt you for some basic information about you and your family, ask a few questions about your personal situation (everything you say remains confidential, of course*), and help you figure out what to choose based on your responses. Talking with ALEX feels like having a conversation with a real person, and because ALEX uses simple language and avoids insurance jargon, its explanations and recommendations are easy to understand. Also, because ALEX is available from any computer with an internet connection, you can use it with your family as you consider your options. And if you have any questions about how anything works, ALEX can walk you through them. Start a conversation with ALEX today by clicking on Meet ALEX on the myhr site at * ALEX does not create, receive, maintain, transmit, collect, or store any identifiable end-user information.

5 Medical Medical coverage is one of the most important benefits available through the CCBCC Benefits Program. This coverage can protect you and your family from high, and often unexpected, medical expenses. You have a choice of three medical plans: PPO-HRA Option 1, PPO-HRA Option 2, or PPO-HSA Option 3. All three options are Consumer Driven Health Plans a health plan design that empowers and engages you as an active participant in your health care choices. The first two medical plan options have a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) that is funded each year by CCBCC. This account is designed to help you meet plan deductibles. The third medical option, PPO-HSA Option 3, has a Health Savings Account (HSA) that is funded by CCBCC and by pre-tax contributions you elect to have deducted from your paycheck to help you meet the deductible and other eligible medical expenses. PPO-HRA Option 1 offers the lowest annual deductibles of the three medical options, but it also has the highest premiums. The company credits a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) for you with a dollar amount that depends on the coverage you choose. PPO-HRA Option 2 offers slightly lower premiums, higher deductibles, and higher out-of-pocket maximums when compared to PPO-HRA Option 1. However, PPO-HRA Option 2 has a larger beginning balance in the employer-funded HRA which will help you meet the higher deductible. PPO-HSA Option 3 offers the lowest premiums of all three medical options. However, this option also has the highest annual deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. By selecting this option, a Health Savings Account (HSA) will be automatically opened with HSA Bank. Your account will be funded by CCBCC and by pre-tax contributions you elect to have deducted from your paycheck. All three medical plan options require you to meet a deductible each year before the Plan begins to pay benefits. Once you have met the deductible, you and the Plan each pay a percentage of the cost of most covered medical services. This is called coinsurance. CCBCC provides a credit or cash contribution based on the medical option you elect. Each coverage option has out-of-pocket maximums that limit the amount of your own money that you have to spend for medical services in a calendar year. And, there is no annual benefit maximum on the coverage you receive once you satisfy your out-of-pocket maximums. For more information on how the medical plan options work, go to click on the My Benefits tab, then click on Benefits Handbook Summary Plan Descriptions. Select the Overview and Medical Plan sections. Chronic Conditions Management All three medical plan options are supported by CCBCC s Chronic Conditions Management Program. This program is offered to all enrolled employees and their dependents and is designed to reduce the cost of managing Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Asthma, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). When you use this program, routine/maintenance treatment is covered at 100% (no co-pay), and generic medications used to treat these chronic conditions have a reduced co-pay. More information is available in the Chronic Conditions flyer provided with this guide or at MDLIVE Anytime, Anywhere Access to Health Care CCBCC has partnered with Cigna and MDLIVE to provide you 24/7/365 on-demand access to board-certified doctors and licensed therapists via online video, phone or secure .

This telephonic maternity coaching program can be a great source of information. 2 Begin receiving prenatal care by visiting your OB/ GYN during the first trimester of your pregnancy. 3 Continue to receive prenatal care throughout your pregnancy, attending all of the OB/GYN recommended appointments. 4 After the baby is delivered, have your OB/GYN sign and return within 90 days the Prenatal Care Physician Certification Form confirming your completion of items 2 and 3 on this list. Note: At least 20 weeks of pregnancy must be completed to be eligible for the incentive. For more information about the prenatal care program visit or call Questions About Your Benefits?

However, the company reserves the right to terminate or change anything described in this guide without notice. 13

14 Continuation of Coverage In Group Health Plans For all employees and their spouses, and individuals eligible for Continuation Coverage in Group Health Plans. This addresses the continuation of CCBCC group health coverage in situations when it would otherwise end. In some situations, group health coverage can be continued even though it would otherwise end. Continuation coverage for employees, their spouses and dependent children is provided through the federal law referred to as COBRA. This notice summarizes your rights and responsibilities under the continuation coverage provisions of COBRA. Both you and your spouse should read this notice carefully. If your spouse lives at a different address, please contact your Branch Office Coordinator or call the HR Contact Center at myHR (6947) from 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday and ask to have a separate copy of this information sent to your spouse. As an employee, you may choose continuation coverage if group health coverage ends because of a reduction in hours or because of a voluntary or involuntary employment termination for reasons other than gross misconduct. This extended coverage generally may be kept for up to 18 months. If you, your spouse or dependent child is determined by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to be disabled at any time during the first 60 days of COBRA coverage, an additional 11 months of coverage may be available for all eligible family members if you notify FBA (CCBCC s COBRA Administrator) within 60 days of the date you are determined to be disabled. You must pay the required cost of continued coverage. If the individual is determined by SSA to no longer be disabled, you must notify FBA within 30 days after SSA s determination. Spouses of employees and/or their dependent children may choose continuation coverage and keep it for up to three years if their group health coverage ends because of: Death of the covered employee, whether active or on an approved leave of absence Divorce or legal separation from the employee Employee s becoming entitled to Medicare under Part A, Part B, or both. If you have a newborn child or adopt a child during the time you are covered by COBRA continuation coverage, that child can be enrolled under the continuation coverage. Like your other dependents, that child can keep continuation coverage for up to three years from the date your COBRA coverage began if the coverage would otherwise end because of one of the events described above. Dependent children covered by the company s plan may also choose continuation coverage and keep it for up to three years if their group coverage ends because they no longer qualify as an eligible dependent under the plan. Under COBRA, the employee, spouse or dependent child is responsible for notifying CCBCC of a divorce, or child s losing dependent status under the plan. Notice must be given within 60 days of the event. Involved individuals must also provide CCBCC with a current and complete mailing address. If notice is not provided within the 60-day period, the eligible individual will not be entitled to choose continuation coverage. CCBCC may require that you provide additional information. When CCBCC is notified that one of these events has occurred, an enrollment form for continuation coverage will be sent to each eligible individual along with notification of the cost. Each eligible individual has an independent right to elect COBRA coverage. Employees may elect COBRA coverage on behalf of their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA coverage on behalf of their children. If your family has another qualifying event while receiving 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation, for a maximum of 36 months, if notice of the second qualifying event is properly given to FBA (CCBCC s COBRA administrator). This extension may be available to the spouse and any dependent children receiving COBRA continuation coverage if the employee or former employee dies, becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both), gets divorced or legally separated, or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the group coverage as a dependent child, but only if the event would have caused the spouse or dependent child to lose group coverage under the plan if the first qualifying event had not occurred. The eligible individual must complete the enrollment form and return it to the address on the form within 60 days after the date coverage is lost because of one of the events described here, or the date the form is received from CCBCC whichever is later. If an eligible individual does not complete the enrollment form and return it to the COBRA administrator within the 60-day period, coverage will end as of the date of the event that caused the loss of coverage. 14

15 If an eligible individual chooses continuation coverage, the company must provide coverage identical to that provided to comparably situated employees or family members. COBRA continuation coverage will end when the first of the following events occurs: Payment for continuation coverage is not made by the deadline The individual later becomes covered by another group health plan. The individual later becomes entitled to Medicare. If the employee became entitled to Medicare less than 18 months before the reduction in hours or employment termination, coverage for other covered family members may be continued for up to 36 months from the date the employee became entitled to Medicare. The 18-, 29- or 36-month COBRA period ends. The company stops providing group health coverage for employees. Continuation coverage may also be terminated for any reason the plan would terminate coverage of a participant or covered dependent not receiving continuation coverage (such as fraud). Your cost for continuation coverage will be 102% of the total cost of coverage. If you choose continuation coverage during the 60- day period following the day your group health coverage ends, you must pay the cost for that 60-day period within 45 days of your selection of continuation coverage. If you, your spouse or a dependent child is eligible for an additional 11 months of coverage because of Social Security disability, the cost for continuation coverage during that 11 months will remain at 102% of the total cost of coverage. In considering whether to elect continuation coverage, you should take into account that you have special enrollment rights under federal law. You have the right to request special enrollment in another group health plan for which you are otherwise eligible (such as a plan sponsored by your spouse s employer) within 30 days after your group health coverage ends because of a qualifying event. You will also have the same special enrollment right at the end of continuation coverage if you get continuation coverage for the maximum time available to you. Proof of insurability is not required for continuation coverage. If you have any questions about COBRA and your group health coverage, contact your Human Resources representative. Summary of HIPAA Rules Affecting Benefits The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) affects how coverage is provided by the CCBCC medical plan options. This documents summarizes these changes: Portability of Coverage The portability rules are designed to improve the availability of medical coverage by creating special enrollment opportunities, in addition to existing family status change rules, for employees and dependents who decline medical coverage during enrollment then lose other coverage. Special Enrollment Periods If you decline medical coverage through a CCBCC medical plan option for yourself, your spouse or your dependents because you have other medical coverage and you later lose that coverage because your: Eligibility for the other coverage ends Employer contributions for the other coverage end COBRA coverage available through the other coverage is completely used.... then, you can enroll in the company s medical plan as long as you go to click on Qualifying Event and complete the submission process within 31 days of the date your other coverage ends. If you choose to continue the coverage you lost through COBRA, you have 31 days after your COBRA coverage ends to enroll in a CCBCC medical plan option. If you acquire a new dependent because of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, you can enroll yourself, your new dependent and any other dependents in one of CCBCC s medical plan options at Click on My Benefits and then select Qualifying Event Changes and complete the submission process within 31 days of the marriage, birth or adoption. For more information on status changes that may allow you to change your CCBCC coverage choices during the year, contact your Human Resources representative. If You Have Questions Contact the HR Contact Center at myHR (6947) from 8 am to 4 pm (EST), Monday through Friday. 15
