EMPLOYEE BENEFITS GUIDE Effective December 1, 2016 - November 30, 2017 Welcome! Southern Mutual provides a very comprehensive benefits offering to you and your family members. Most of your insurance benefits become effective on your full time date of hire; however, if you elect to purchase optional vision benefits, this coverage becomes effective on the first day of the month following your date of hire. Am I eligible? If you are a Southern Mutual full-time W2 employee, working 30 or more hours per week, you are eligible to enroll in the benefits described in this guide. Your spouse and eligible dependents may enroll for medical, dental, vision and supplemental life insurance.

A M edical Flex ible Spending Account (FSA) is an account to which you contribute part of your pay before FICA, State and Federal Income (withholding) Tax to pay for qualified medical, dental and certain vision expenses for yourself, your spouse, and/or your dependents. What are qualified expenses? Any I R S Section 213 (D) ex penses are eligible to be reim bursed through your Medical FSA. These expenses include most medical, Rx, dental & vision related services. Why should I participate in a Medical Reiumbursement FSA? N orm ally, you w ould receive an incom e tax deduction for qualifying medical, dental and vision expenses that exceed 10% of your adjusted gross family income. (Few taxpayers ever meet that qualification or receive a tax deduction.) How can I participate? First determ ine regular m edical, dental and vision ex penses you and your dependent(s) will incur during this plan year (1/1/2017 to 12/31/2017). Enter the amount you want to set aside before taxes on the Election Form. Each pay period, SMCI will deduct this amount from your paycheck and deposit the funds directly into your Flexible Spending Account. Can I revoke my annual election amount? Generally, no. How ever, if you have a qualified change in status (marriage, divorce, birth, adoption, unpaid leave of absence, change in employment status of you or your spouse from full-time to part-time or vice-versa) you can revoke your annual elected amount and make a new election for the remainder of the plan year. Do I have a “Use It Or Lose It” rule? You m ay subm it a request for reim bursem ent for ex penses incurred through Decem ber 31, 2017. You w ill have a 60-day timeframe to submit the Reimbursement Request Form for expenses incurred during that time. SMCI allows up to $500 of unused funds to be rolled over to the next calendar year. When can I elect to participate, and how much may I contribute? Each year, during the Open Enrollment period and prior to the Plan renewal date, you must complete a new Election Form for the upcoming plan year if you are making a change. The 2017 annual contribution limit for Healthcare Reimbursement is $2,600. What expenses are not eligible? Over-the-counter medicines cannot be purchased with FSA money without a prescription. Cosmetic procedures are also not eligible. What happens if my request for Medical Care Reimbursement is greater than the amount of money in my account? The annual am ount is available to you from the beginning of the 1/ 1/ 2017 plan year, and if you request more than the annual elected amount, only the elected amount will be available to you.
