EMPLOYEE BENEFITS GUIDE
Effective
December 1, 2017 - November 30, 2018
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 bene-
fits described in this guide. Your spouse
and eligible dependents may enroll for medi-
cal, dental, vision and supplemental life in-
surance.
Premiums for all plans are paid thru pre-tax
payroll deductions, resulting in 25 - 30% tax
savings.
When can I make changes?
You are able to make changes during the month of Novem-
ber during our Open Enrollment Period. After November, you
must have a qualified change in status in order to make
changes to the benefits you elect during the plan year.
Qualified changes in status include: marriage, divorce, legal
separation, birth, adoption of a child, change in childs de-
pendent status, death of spouse or child. Involuntary loss of
other coverage due to a change in spouse employment or
loss of Medicaid eligibility would also apply. Employees have
an open enrollment period during the month of November to
make changes to the medical, dental, vision and supple-
mental life benefits.
What do I have to do?
Medical: You must complete an enrollment form when you are first eligible, electing or waiving
coverage.
Dental: You must complete an enrollment form when you are first eligible, electing or waiving cov-
erage.
Vision (Optional): You must complete an enrollment form to elect coverage.
Long Term & Short Term Disability: You are automatically enrolled in this employer paid bene-
fit.
Group Term Life Insurance: You are automatically enrolled in this employer paid benefit. You
must complete an enrollment form to select a beneficiary.
Supplemental Life / Dependent Life Insurance (Optional): You must complete an enroll-
ment form to elect coverage. To increase coverage, an evidence of insurability form must be sub-
mitted for consideration.
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.

What is a Flexible Spending Account? A Medical Flexible 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 IRS Section 213 (D) expenses are eligible to be reimbursed through your
Medical FSA. These expenses include most medical, Rx, dental & vision related services.
Why should I participate in a Medical Reiumbursement FSA? Normally, you would receive an income 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 determine regular medical, dental and vision expenses you and your dependent(s)
will incur during this plan year (1/1/2018 to 12/31/2018). 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 direct-
ly into your Flexible Spending Account.
Can I revoke my annual election amount? Generally, no. However, 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 Itrule? You may submit a request for reimbursement for expenses
incurred
through December 31, 2018. You will have a 60-day timeframe to submit the Reimbursement Request Form for ex-
penses 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 2018 annual contribution limit for Healthcare Reimbursement is $2,650.
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 amount is available to you from the beginning of the 1/1/2018 plan year, and if you re-
quest more than the annual elected amount, only the elected amount will be available to you.
