Your specific rights to benefits under the plan are governed solely, and in every respect, by the official plan documents and not the information in this Guidebook. If there is any discrepancy between the description of the program elements as contained in this Benefits Guidebook and the official plan documents, the language in the official plan documents shall prevail as accurate. Please refer to the plan-specific documents published by each of the respective carriers for detailed plan information. Any and all elements of our benefits program may be modified in the future, at any time, to meet Internal Revenue Service Rules or otherwise as decided by us. Please note that while we strive to provide accurate information, the rates listed in this guide are subject to underwriting review and can change upon submission. If rates change, you will be notified. We hope you find this guide helpful in navigating your benefits and understanding the support available to you.

Benefit Information: Your benefits plan: We offer a variety of benefits allowing you the opportunity to customize a benefits package that meets your personal needs. You have the option to enroll in any or all of the benefit plans, each benefit is independent of the others, and you may choose any combination you like. In the following pages, you’ll learn more about the benefits offered. You’ll also see how choosing the right combination of benefits can help protect you and your family’s health and finances – and your family’s future. Choosing your benefits: You must actively choose any benefit that you pay for or share in the cost with. The premium for elected coverages are taken from your paycheck automatically. There are two ways that the money can be taken out, pre-tax or post –tax. Why do I pay for benefits with Pre-Tax money? There is a definite advantage to paying for some benefits with pre-tax money. Taking the money out before your taxes are calculated lowers the amount of your pay that is taxable. Therefore, you pay less in taxes. Which benefit premiums are taken before tax? PRE-TAX: Medical, Dental, Vision POST-TAX: Critical Illness, Accident Life, & Disability Example Pre-Tax Post-Tax Gross Salary 50k 50k Health Premium 5k 5k Taxable Wages 45k 50k Income Tax on Wages 5,800 6,900 FICA Tax on Wage 3,433 3,825 Net Employee Pay $35,757 $34,275 Eligibility: You are considered an eligible employee if you are a regular full-time employee scheduled to work at least 30 hours each week. Waiting Period: Newly hired employees are eligible for benefits on the first of the month following 30 days of hire. *Restrictions apply to part-time employees. Page 5
Making Changes Generally, you can only change your benefit choices during the annual Benefits Enrollment Period. However, you can change your benefit choices during the year if you experience a life event change. Life event changes include but are not limited to: • Marriage • Divorce • Birth, adoption, or placement for adoption of an eligible child • Death of your spouse or covered child • Change in you or your spouse’s work status that results in the cancellation of your benefits • Becoming eligible for Medicare or Medicaid during the year If you have a life event change, you must notify Human Resources within 30 days of the change (for example, supply HR with your marriage or newborn's birth certificate). If you do not notify Human Resources within 30 days, you will have to wait until the next annual open enrollment period to make benefits changes unless you experience another life event change. Any changes you make to your benefit choices must be directly related to the life event change. When Coverage Ends Benefits end on the last day of the month following termination or when you cease to meet eligibility guidelines. Portability If you leave the company, some of your benefits are portable. This means you can take them with you if you leave, as long as you continue to pay the premiums yourself. The benefits that are portable include: • Voluntary Group Term Life • Universal Life / Whole Life • Accident Insurance • Critical Illness Continuing Your Coverage Under certain circumstances, you may continue your health care coverage when it would otherwise end. This is called COBRA. COBRA applies to these plans: • Medical • Dental • Vision You and/or your dependents are eligible to continue health care coverage if coverage is lost because: • Your employment ends for any reason other than “gross misconduct.” Page 6
• Your work hours are significantly reduced. • You die. • You become entitled to and enroll in Medicare prior to losing coverage. • You divorce or become legally separated from your spouse. • Your dependent loses dependent status. Who pays the cost for your coverage? Looking Ahead Now, let's delve into each benefit that constitutes your comprehensive benefits program. In the following pages, you'll discover more about the invaluable benefits your employer provides. You'll also understand how selecting the right combination of benefits can safeguard the health and well-being of you and your family.

Emergency Room or Urgent Care? How to Choose More than 10 percent of all emergency room visits could have been addressed in an urgent care facility or solved in a doctor’s office. But how can you determine which is more appropriate for your condition? Emergency Room / Urgent Care Tips • Freestanding ERs are not In-Network with most carriers. • Go to ERs affiliated with In-Network hospitals. • Ask: “Are you contracted and In-Network?” and “Is this an Urgent Care or ER?” • Use your carrier app or call the member number on your card for an In-Network Facility. Suggestions on when to Use the ER Emergency rooms are equipped to handle life-threatening injuries and illnesses and other serious medical conditions. An emergency is a condition that may cause loss of life or permanent or severe disability if not treated immediately. You should go directly to the nearest Emergency Room if you experience any of the following: • Chest pain • Shortness of breath • Severe abdominal pain following an injury • Uncontrollable bleeding • Confusion or loss of consciousness • Poisoning or suspected poisoning • Serious burns, cuts, or infections • Inability to swallow • Seizures • Paralysis • Broken bones Patients at the emergency room are sorted according to the seriousness of their condition. For example, a patient with severe injuries from a car accident would likely be seen before a child with an ear infection, even if the child was brought in first. Suggestions on when to Use Urgent Care Urgent care centers are usually located in clinics or hospitals and, like emergency rooms, offer after-hours care. Unlike emergency rooms, they are not equipped to handle life-threatening situations. Rather, they handle conditions that require immediate attention—those where delaying treatment could cause serious problems or discomfort. Some examples of conditions that require urgent care are: • Ear infections • Sprains • Vomiting • High fever Urgent care centers are usually more cost-effective than ERs for these conditions. In addition, the waiting time in urgent care centers is usually much shorter. Page 8
Reduce your Prescription Drug Costs You can cut costs by up to 90 percent by becoming an informed consumer and using the same buying techniques that you use when shopping for other goods and services. Prescription Tips • Ask your doctor for samples. • Look for manufacturer coupons/programs. • Shop at different pharmacies. • Request generic medications. • Visit GoodRx—Use it to price-shop but cannot be combined with your Health/RX plan. Price Comparisons Drug prices are not uniform; you can save a considerable amount of money by shopping around. Drug Substitution When your doctor prescribes a drug, ask if a cheaper alternative is available. Mail-Order Pharmacies Mail-order and Internet pharmacies offer the best deals on prescription drugs, especially for patients with chronic conditions. Over-the-Counter Drugs (OTC) Ask your doctor if an OTC drug will work just as well as a prescription drug. Today, there are hundreds of OTC drugs that were previously only available by prescription. Generic Medications Generic medications work as well as brand-name drugs and can cost 20 to 80 percent less. This applies to both prescription and OTC drugs. Pharmaceutical Company Assistance Programs/State Drug Assistance Many drug companies and states offer drug assistance programs for the elderly, low-income individuals, and/or people with disabilities. Medicare Drug Plans Seniors can combine smart shopping techniques with the Medicare drug plan. All the information you need is available at Medicare.gov. Samples Drug companies provide thousands of samples to doctors every year. Your doctor may be able to provide you with weeks’ worth of medication at no charge. Staying on Your Medication If you take medication regularly, do not skip doses or stop taking your meds to save money. Sticking to your medication schedule will help you avoid health complications that could cost more money in the future. Discount Prescription Cards Look into a discount card, either through a drugstore chain or a national plan. They can provide additional discounts on your prescriptions for a small monthly or annual fee. Page 9

How Colonial Life Disability Insurance worksIf you can’t work because of an illness or injury, you might use savings to help cover ongoing monthly expenses. But would you have enough? And what would that do to your savings goals? Disability insurance can help replace missing income so you can focus on what’s most important — recovery. Here’s how it works:• At enrollment, you can choose the disability benet amount to best meet your needs (subject to income).• If you can’t work because of a covered illness or injury, a benet is payable in regular payments after a pre-determined waiting period called an elimination period.• Benets are payable directly to you unless otherwise specied, and you can use them however you’d like.• Benet payments do not coordinate at the time of claim with other insurance or state paid medical leave benets.1• Disability benets may also be available if you return to work part-time.TOP CAUSES OF DISABILITIES IN WORKING-AGE ADULTS IN THE U.S.:Injuries:2• Exposure to harmful substances or environments at work• Overexertion• Falls, slips, trips• Contact with objects or equipment• Transportation incidentsIllnesses:3• Musculoskeletal pain• Heart disease• Cancer• Stroke• Kidney diseasePage 39
