3 Eligibility As a newly hired hourly team member, you are eligible for the part-time benefits explained in this guide. You have 31 days from your date of hire to elect coverage. After one year of service, you may become eligible for full-time benefits. (You must maintain a 12-month average weekly hours of 30 or more throughout the year to be eligible for full-time benefits.) Covering Your Dependents If you enroll, you can also cover your spouse or domestic partner and eligible children. If you want to enroll your domestic partner, go to the Health and Wellness Center at or call the Brinker Benefits Service Center at (866) to get the required domestic partnership form. You can cover your unmarried children up to age 26, including: Natural children Legally adopted children or children for whom you have legal guardianship Children of your domestic partner (with established Domestic Partnership) Children named in a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) requiring you to provide coverage Foster children Stepchildren Children of any age who are physically or mentally disabled and dependent on you for support (continuing proof of disability is required) Coverage Details When Coverage Begins Coverage will begin on the Sunday after your premiums are deducted from your paycheck and will continue as long as you keep making timely payments. When Coverage Ends Your coverage would end due to: Non-payment If you have unpaid premiums for all of your benefit plans for more than 2 consecutive bi-weekly pay periods (or 4 weekly pay periods), your coverage will be cancelled back to the last day you paid for. If payroll deducted and/or direct payments are received for some, but not all, of your benefit plans, you will have a gap in coverage for those plans where the premium was not paid. Employment ends Coverage is effective through the last day you paid for. Note: If your coverage ends because of non-payment or termination, you may be eligible for COBRA coverage.

4 When You Can Make Changes You can drop your medical, dental, life and disability benefits at any time during the year for any reason. If your coverage ends for any reason during the year, you can re-enroll once without a qualified family status change in all plans except for life and disability. If you drop coverage again, you will only be able to re-enroll at the next Open Enrollment, or if you have a qualified family status change*, such as you get married or have a baby. *You can only enroll in life and disability coverage as a new hire or during annual Open Enrollment. To change your coverage, call the Brinker Benefits Service Center at (866) within 60 days of the qualified family status change. Coverage changes will become effective on the first Sunday after your new premiums are deducted from your paycheck. If you ve cancelled your coverage, the cancellation will become effective on the first Sunday after you no longer have premiums deducted from your paycheck. Visit the Health and Wellness Center at for more detailed information about eligibility and your ability to make changes.

Bring your Nationwide ID card with you to your office visit. 4. Ask about generic drugs. Generics have the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, but cost an average of 60% less! 5.

9 IMPORTANT Paying for Your Benefits There are some important things you need to know about paying for your benefits: You pre-pay for your benefits each pay period. Coverage will begin on the Sunday after your premiums are deducted from your paycheck and will continue as long as you keep making timely payments. Deductions for a plan will only be taken if you have enough money to cover the whole premium. For example, if after taxes, your check is $45 and your medical premium is $42.50 and dental premium is $11.44, a deduction for medical would be taken, but you would need to make a direct payment for dental because the full deduction couldn t be taken. Review your pay stub for your current missed premium due. Your missed premium amount for each pay period is displayed on your pay stub. You can also find this information online. Visit the Health and Wellness Center at click enroll online login, and click View Arrears and Average Hours. To get your total balance due, contact the Brinker Benefits Service Center at (866) You have 30 days to pay your missed premiums. If you have unpaid premiums for all of your benefit plans for more than 2 consecutive bi-weekly pay periods (or 4 weekly pay periods), your coverage will be cancelled back to the last day you paid for. If payroll deducted and/or direct payments are received for some, but not all, of your benefit plans, you will have a gap in coverage for those plans where the premium was not paid. Pay your outstanding balance by credit card, debit card or E-check.
