A Message to Our Employees
The Benefits Open Enrollment Period Is Here! Baer’s Furniture is committed to provide a comprehensive benefits package to our employees for the
following year. As healthcare costs continue to rise, Baer’s Furniture strives to keep pace with healthcare
trends and to provide choices for medical insurance to meet the needs of our employees and to manage the
increased costs. Considering present inflation and increased government regulation, we are very pleased to
announce a minimal annual increase in the cost of medical insurance for our employees. All other insurance
plans will continue for the next year with no increase in current premium costs. We will have our open
enrollment meetings to provide information about our benefits at all our locations. It is very important that all
our employees attend a meeting to be informed. Family members are welcome to attend as well. We will
continue to use our online benefits system with Explain My Benefits to renew enrollment or make changes in
benefits for 2020. All the information and pricing will be available when the portal is open during the first two
weeks of December 2019.
The Baer Family.

Maintenance Medications
Maintenance medications are prescription drugs commonly used to treat chronic or long-term conditions. These conditions usually require regular, daily use of medicines. Examples of maintenance medications are those used to treat conditions such as:
• Asthma
• Depression
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
![Page 10: 2020 Open Enrollment Guide - Explain My Benefits · 2019. 10. 30. · This brochure summarizes the benefit plans that are available to Baer's Furniture Company, Inc. eligible employees](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070923/5fbb8893b683d40b8d2d44e2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Medicines can be expensive, and WellDyneRx provides ways to help members manage their prescription drug costs. Your benefit plan uses one of these options, called step therapy.
What is step therapy?Step therapy is a program that helps you and your doctor choose medicine that is right for you.
WellDyneRx has certain medicines that we recommend you try first when treating some health conditions. Trying certain drugs first before trying others is called step therapy.
» Step One Drugs – Lower-cost options This first step requires you to use a lower-cost medicine before you can use a more expensive Step Two drug. The lower-cost options are usually generic medicines. They can provide the same health benefits as higher-cost medicines.
» Step Two Drugs – Brand name drugs Step Two drugs are brand name medicines that usually cost more than Step One or generic medicines. They’re recommended only if a Step One medicine doesn’t work for you.
What if my doctor prescribes a Step Two drug?
When a pharmacist puts your prescription into the system, they receive an alert if the medication is part of the step therapy program.
Your pharmacy will not automatically change your prescription if you have a Step Two drug. Your doctor must write a new prescription for you to switch to a Step One drug. If your doctor thinks a Step One drug is not a good choice for you, they can request approval of a Step Two medicine from WellDyneRx.
If you have questions about your pharmacy benefits, please visit www.WellDyneRx.com and click “Members” or call the Member Services number shown on your member ID card.

Baer's Furniture’s Wellness Initiatives
As most of you now know, Baer’s Furniture launched a new employee wellness program in 2015 which
offered employees the opportunity to save on their future medical premiums.
Participating in the Baer’s Furniture Wellness Program helps all of us better manage or avoid chronic
conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and depression, which can subtract years from
our lives. The journey toward a better lifestyle is never easy, however with support, commitment, and
consistency, each of us can achieve our individual health and wellness goals. Today, it is more important than
ever to take an active role in your personal health and therefore, Baer’s Furniture wants you to know that we
are here to provide the tools and incentives to help.
Going to see your doctor for a yearly wellness exam is one of the best ways to manage your health. Preventive
care often leads to identifying health problems early and increasing your chances for successful treatment
and/or cure. Now that these services are covered by all health plans, it's just that much easier to achieve and
maintain optimal health.
Just 3 steps to improve your health and save…..
Step 1 Complete an annual physical with your primary care physician (PCP). Your doctor will need to
complete & sign the company-provided Physician Form to confirm you had your annual physical. Physician
visits completed between November 1, 2019 & October 31, 2020 will be accepted. If enrolled in the health plan, your annual physical and standard preventive lab work should be covered in full once every 365 days.
Step 2 Complete the Preventive Screening form. Take the preventive screening form to your scheduled
doctor’s visit to be completed and signed by the attending physician. One exam needs to be completed
between November 1, 2019 & October 31, 2020. For the list of screenings that are accepted please refer to
the wellness packet.
Step 3 Send both forms to Wellworks on or prior to November 1, 2020. Submit BOTH your physician form and
preventive screening form together to Wellworks. See instructions listed on the forms regarding how to send
them.
*New hires: Hired after 5/1/20 will receive incentive.
By completing the above steps, you will receive…
Incentives: For completing the annual physical and the preventive screening form, you will receive a discount
on your medical premiums beginning January 1, 2021.
Your health plan is committed to helping you achieve your best health. Rewards for participating in a wellness program are available
to all employees. If you think you might be unable to meet a standard for a reward under this wellness program, you might qualify for
an opportunity to earn the same reward by different means. Contact us 954-946-8001 ext. 215 and we will work with you (and, if you
wish, with your doctor) to find a wellness program with the same reward that is right for you in light of your health status.
Be Healthy & Save!

Open Enrollment Guide 14
Health Savings Accounts
A health savings account (HSA) is an account funded to help you save for future medical expenses not covered
by your insurance plan, including the deductible, coinsurance and even vision and dental expenses. You must
be enrolled in an HSA compatible health plan to be eligible, there are certain advantages to putting money into
these accounts, including favorable tax treatment and the ability to roll unused funds over from year to year.
Who Can Have an HSA?
Any adult can contribute to an HSA if you:
· Have coverage under an HSA-qualified, high-deductible health plan (HDHP)
· Have no other first-dollar medical coverage (other types of insurance, including specific injury or
accident, disability, dental care, vision care, or long-term care insurance are permitted)
· Are not enrolled in Medicare or Tricare
· Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return
Contributions to your HSA would be made by you. The total contributions are limited annually. If you make a
contribution, you can deduct the contributions (even if you do not itemize deductions) when completing your
federal income tax return. Contributions to the account must stop once you are enrolled in Medicare. However,
you can keep the money in your account and use it to pay for medical expenses tax-free.
HDHPs
You must have coverage under the Baer's Furniture HDHP to open and contribute to an HSA.
HSA Contributions
You can make a contribution to your HSA each year that you are eligible. Contributions from all sources can be
no more than:
· Self-only coverage: $3,550 in 2020
· Family coverage: $7,100 in 2020
Individuals ages 55 and older can also make additional “catch-up” contributions. The maximum annual catch-
up contribution is $1,000.

Health Savings Accounts – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I manage my HSA?
Your Health Savings Account (HSA) is your account; the HSA dollars are your dollars. Since you are the account
holder or HSA beneficiary, you manage your HSA account. You may choose when to use your HSA dollars or
when not to use your HSA dollars. HSA dollars pay for any eligible expense. Most commonly, the HSA account
holder will use HSA dollars to pay the out-of-pocket expenses (i.e., deductible and coinsurance) associated
with their high deductible plan.
What expenses are eligible for reimbursement from my HSA?
HSA dollars may be used for qualified medical expenses incurred by the account holder and his or her spouse
and dependents. Qualified medical expenses are outlined within IRS Section 213(d). In summary the IRS
Section 213(d) states that “the expense has to be primarily for the prevention or alleviation of a physical or
mental defect or illness”.
In addition to qualified medical expenses, the following insurance premiums may be reimbursed from an HSA:
· COBRA premiums
· Health insurance premiums while receiving unemployment Benefits
· Any health insurance premiums paid, other than for a Medicare supplemental policy, by individuals ages 65
and over
Are dental and vision care qualified medical expenses under an HSA?
Yes, as long as these are deductible under the current rules. For example, cosmetic procedures, like cosmetic
dentistry, would not be considered qualified medical expenses.
What expenses are NOT eligible for reimbursement from my HSA?
The following expenses may not be reimbursed from an HSA:
· Premiums for Medicare supplemental policies
· Expenses covered by another insurance plan
· Expenses incurred prior to the date the HSA was established
· Over-the-counter drugs purchased without a prescription (except insulin)
What is a coverage gap?
This is the gap between total out-of-pocket expenses associated with your high-deductible health plan and
your HSA dollars. For example, assume that you have a $2,000 deductible, a $4,000 maximum out-of-pocket,
and either you or your employer has contributed $2,000 to your HSA account. If your medical costs incurred
exceed $4,000 for the year, then you are financially obligated to pay the difference between your total
maximum out-of-pocket ($4,000) and your HSA balance ($2,000) - ($4,000 - $2,000 = $2,000)
What happens when my HSA funds run out?
You may be financially responsible for any eligible medical expenses that fall within the coverage gap.
Can I use my HSA dollars for non-eligible expenses?
Money withdrawn from an HSA account to reimburse non-eligible medical expenses is taxable income to the
account holder and subject to a 20 percent tax penalty - unless over age 65, disabled or upon death of the
account holder.
When can I start using my HSA dollars?
You can use your HSA dollars immediately following your HSA account activation and once contributions have
been made.

Health Savings Accounts – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pay my physician or network facility at time of service with my HSA dollars?
You may request that the network provider submit your claim to your health plan. You should make sure that
your provider has your most up-to-date insurance information. Once the medical claim has been processed, if
applicable, out-of-pocket expenses will be billed. At this time, you may choose to use your HSA Debit card to
pay for any out-of-pocket expenses, or you may choose to pay with your own money and receive
reimbursement at a later date. You should always ask that your medical claim be submitted to the health plan
before you seek reimbursement from your HSA. This procedure will ensure that provider discounts are
applied. Also, remember to keep all medical receipts and Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) for tax purposes.
What if I have HSA dollars left in my account at year-end?
The money is yours to keep. It will continue to be available for you and your health care costs next year.
What happens to my HSA dollars if I leave Baer's Furniture?
The funds are yours to keep. You may elect one of the following options:
· Leave your funds in your current HSA account
· Transfer your funds to an HSA with your new employer
· Transfer your funds to another qualifying account within 60 days
Can I use the money in my account to pay for my dependents’ medical expenses?
You can use the money in your account to pay for medical expenses for yourself, your spouse or your
dependent children. You can pay for the unreimbursed expenses of your spouse and dependent children even
if they are not covered by your HDHP.
Can couples establish a “joint” account and both make contributions to the account, including “catch-up”
contributions?
“Joint” HSA accounts are not permitted. Each spouse should consider establishing an account in their own
name. This allows you both to make catch-up contributions when each spouse is 55 or older.
My employer offers an FSA – can I have both an FSA and an HSA?
You can have both types of accounts, but only under certain circumstances. General Flexible Spending
Accounts (FSAs) will probably make you ineligible for an HSA. If your employer offers a “limited purpose”
(limited to dental, vision or preventive care) or “post-deductible” (pay for medical expenses after the plan
deductible is met) FSA, then you can still be eligible for an HSA.
Can I shift my IRA funds to my HSA?
Owners of individual retirement accounts that are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan can shift IRA funds
to an HSA without facing a tax penalty. The IRS allows a one-time transfer that does not exceed your
maximum HSA contribution limit.
Can I borrow against the money in my HSA?
No. You may not borrow against it or pledge the funds in it. For more information on prohibited activities see
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Important Legal Notices
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. These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductibles and coinsurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under this plan.
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 are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage).
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 dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.
Further, if you decline enrollment for yourself or eligible dependents (including your spouse) while Medicaid coverage or coverage under a State CHIP program is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if:
� coverage is lost under Medicaid or a State CHIP program; or � you or your dependents become eligible for a premium assistance subsidy from the State.
In either case, you must request enrollment within 60 days from the loss of coverage or the date you become eligible for premium assistance. To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact person listed at the end of this summary.
Under the ACA, dependent children are covered by the group health plan until age 26. Baer’s Furniture group health plan extends dependent coverage
beyond the ACA requirements, to age 30, so long as the child is covered as a student. If your child has extended coverage as a student but loses their
student status because they take a medically necessary, leave of absence from school your child may continue to be covered under the plan for up to
one year from the beginning of the leave of absence. This is available if, immediately before the first day of the leave of absence, your child was (1)
covered under the plan and (2) enrolled as a student at a post-secondary educational institution (includes colleges and universities). To obtain more
information, contact person listed at the end of this summary.
Baer’s Furniture wellness program is a voluntary wellness program available to all employees. The program is administered according to federal rules permitting employer-sponsored wellness programs that seek to improve employee health or prevent disease, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as applicable, among others. If you choose to participate in the wellness program you will be asked to complete a voluntary health risk assessment or "HRA" that asks a series of questions about your health-related activities and behaviors and whether you have or had certain medical conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, or heart disease). You will also be asked to complete a biometric screening, which will include a blood test for total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglyercides, Glucose. You are not required to participate in the blood test or other medical examinations. However, employees who choose to participate in the wellness program will receive incentives. Although you are not required to participate in the biometric screening (onsite or with your doctor), only employees who do so will receive the incentive.

Protections from Disclosure of Medical Information. We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your personally identifiable health information. Although the wellness program and Baer’s Furniture may use aggregate information it collects to design a program based on identified health risks in the workplace, the wellness program will never disclose any of your personal information either publicly or to the employer, except as necessary to respond to a request from you for a reasonable accommodation needed to participate in the wellness program, or as expressly permitted by law. Medical information that personally identifies you that is provided in connection with the wellness program will not be provided to your supervisors or managers and may never be used to make decisions regarding your employment. Your health information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disclosed except to the extent permitted by law to carry out specific activities related to the wellness program, and you will not be asked or required to waive the confidentiality of your health information as a condition of participating in the wellness program or receiving an incentive. Anyone who receives your information for purposes of providing you services as part of the wellness program will abide by the same confidentiality requirements. The only individual(s) who will receive your personally identifiable health information is (are) your doctor, a health coach or a registered nurse to provide you with services under the wellness program. In addition, all medical information obtained through the wellness program will be maintained separate from your personnel records, information stored electronically will be encrypted, and no information you provide as part of the wellness program will be used in making any employment decision. Appropriate precautions will be taken to avoid any data breach, and in the event a data breach occurs involving information you provide in connection with the wellness program, we will notify you immediately. You may not be discriminated against in employment because of the medical information you provide as part of participating in the wellness program, nor may you be subjected to retaliation if you choose not to participate. If you have questions or concerns regarding this notice, or about protections against discrimination and retaliation, please contact sue Scovin at [email protected] or at 954-946-8001 ext. 11103 Your health plan is committed to helping you achieve your best health. Rewards for participating in a wellness program are available to all employees. If you think you might be unable to meet a standard for a reward under this wellness program, you might qualify for an opportunity to earn the same reward by different means. Contact Human Resources Office and we will work with you (and, if you wish, with your doctor) to find a wellness program with the same reward that is right for you in light of your health status.
As a participant in the Plan you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). ERISA provides that all participants shall be entitled to:
Receive Information about Your Plan and Benefits
� Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, the Plan and Plan documents, including the insurance contract and copies of all documents filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor, if any, such as annual reports and Plan descriptions.
� Obtain copies of the Plan documents and other Plan information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.
� Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report, if required to be furnished under ERISA. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report, if any.
Continue Group Health Plan Coverage. If applicable, you may continue health care coverage for yourself, spouse or dependents if there is a loss of coverage under the plan as a result of a qualifying event. You and your dependents may have to pay for such coverage. Review the summary plan description and the documents governing the Plan for the rules on COBRA continuation of coverage rights.
Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries. In addition to creating rights for participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for operation of the Plan. These people, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to operate the Plan prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants. No one, including the Company or any other person, may fire you or discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining welfare benefits or exercising your rights under ERISA.
Enforce your Rights If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied in whole or in part, you must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. You have a right to have the Plan review and reconsider your claim.
Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce these rights. For instance, if you request materials from the Plan Administrator and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $152 per day (up to a $1,527 cap per request), until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent due to reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, and you have exhausted the available claims procedures under the Plan, you may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose (for example, if the court finds your claim is frivolous) the court may order you to pay these costs and fees.
Assistance with your Questions If you have any questions about your Plan, this statement, or your rights under ERISA, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits and Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits and Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210.

Important Notice from Baer’s Furniture About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current
prescription drug coverage with Baer’s Furniture and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug
coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are
considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost,
with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information
about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this
notice.
There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug
coverage:
1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get
this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an
HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard
level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly
premium.
2. Baer’s Furniture has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the offered plan is, on
average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug
coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is
Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later
decide to join a Medicare drug plan.
When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15thto December 7th. However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.
What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Baer’s Furniture coverage will not be affected. You can keep this coverage and it will coordinate with Part D coverage. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Baer’s Furniture coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will be able to get this coverage back (during open enrollment or in the case of a special enrollment opportunity).
When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with Baer’s Furniture and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later. If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.
For More Information About This Notice Or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage… Contact the person listed below for further information NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through Baer’s Furniture changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time.

More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans. For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage:
• Visit www.medicare.gov
• Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help
• Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048. If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice.

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 1-877-KIDS 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 January 31, 2020. Contact your State for more information

New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage
Options and Your Health Coverage
PART A: General Information When key parts of the health care law take effect in 2014, there will be a new way to buy health insurance: the Health
Insurance Marketplace. To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic
information about the new Marketplace and employment based health coverage offered by your employer.
What is the Health Insurance Marketplace?
The Marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. The
Marketplace offers "one-stop shopping" to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible
for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premium right away. Open enrollment for health insurance
coverage through the Marketplace begins in October 2013 for coverage starting as early as January 1, 2014.
Can I Save Money on my Health Insurance Premiums in the Marketplace?
You may qualify to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if your employer does not offer coverage, or
offers coverage that doesn't meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you're eligible for depends on
your household income.
Does Employer Health Coverage Affect Eligibility for Premium Savings through the Marketplace?
Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible
for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer's health plan. However, you may be
eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, or a reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does
not offer coverage to you at all or does not offer coverage that meets certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your
employer that would cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5% of your household
income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the "minimum value" standard set by the
Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.1
Note: If you purchase a health plan through the Marketplace instead of accepting health coverage offered by your
employer, then you may lose the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer
contribution -as well as your employee contribution to employer-offered coverage- is often excluded from income for
Federal and State income tax purposes. Your payments for coverage through the Marketplace are made on an after-
tax basis.
How Can I Get More Information?
For more information about your coverage offered by your employer, please check your summary plan description or
contact Susan Scovin, Human Resources Manager.
The Marketplace can help you evaluate your coverage options, including your eligibility for coverage through the
Marketplace and its cost. Please visit HealthCare.gov for more information, including an online application for health
insurance coverage and contact information for a Health Insurance Marketplace in your area.
1 An employer - sponsored health plan meets the "minimum value standard" if the plan's share of the total allowed benefit costs
covered by the plan is no less than 60 percent of such costs.

PART B: Information About Health Coverage Offered by Your Employer This section contains information about any health coverage offered by your employer. If you decide to complete an
application for coverage in the Marketplace, you will be asked to provide this information. This information is numbered
to correspond to the Marketplace application.
Here is some basic information about health coverage offered by this employer:
• As your employer, we offer a health plan to:
All employees. Eligible employees are:
Some employees. Eligible employees are:
• With respect to dependents:
We do offer coverage. Eligible dependents are:
We do not offer coverage.
If checked, this coverage meets the minimum value standard*, and the cost of this coverage to you is
intended to be affordable, based on employee wages.
** Even if your employer intends your coverage to be affordable, you may still be eligible for a premium
discount through the Marketplace. The Marketplace will use your household income, along with other
factors, to determine whether you may be eligible for a premium discount. If, for example, your wages vary
from week to week (perhaps you are an hourly employee or you work on a commission basis), if you are
newly employed mid-year, or if you have other income losses, you may still qualify for a premium discount.
If you decide to shop for coverage in the Marketplace, HealthCare.gov will guide you through the process. Here's the
employer information you'll enter when you visit HealthCare.gov to find out if you can get a tax credit to lower your
monthly premiums.
• An employer - sponsored health plan meets the "minimum value standard" if the plan's share of the total allowed benefit costs
covered by the plan is no less than 60 percent of such costs (Section 36 B(c)(2)(C)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986)
