BENEFIT INFORMATION

CHOOSING YOUR BENEFITS

You must actively choose any benefit that you pay for, or share in the cost with Colonial Distributing.

WHY DO I PAY FOR BENEFITS WITH BEFORE-TAX MONEY?

Your part of the cost is automatically taken out of your paycheck.

There is a definite advantage to paying for some benefits with before-tax money:

• BEFORE YOUR TAXES ARE CALCULATED – medical, dental, and vision

Taking the money out before your taxes are calculated lowers the amount of your pay that is taxable. Therefore, you pay less in taxes.

MAKING CHANGES

Generally, you can only change your benefit choices during the annual benefits enrollment period. However, you may be able to change your benefit choices during the plan year if you have a change in status including:

If you fail to notify Human Resources within 30 days of a family status change, you will be required to wait until the next annual enrollment period to make benefit changes unless you have another qualifying event change.

Your marriage

•

Your divorce or legal separation

•

• Birth or adoption of an eligible child

• Death of your spouse or covered child

• Change in your spouse’s work status that affects his or her benefits

WHEN COVERAGE ENDS

• Change in your work status that affects your benefits

Coverage will stop on the last day of the month in which employment with the company ends.

• Change in residence or work site that affects your eligibility for coverage

• Change in your child’s eligibility for benefits

• Receiving Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO)

KEY BENEFIT TERMS

Copayment – A flat fee that you pay for medical services, regardless of the actual amount charged by your doctor or another provider. This generally applies to physicians’ office visits and prescription drugs. Deductible – The amount you pay toward medical and dental expenses each year before the plan begins paying benefits.

THE NEWBORNS’ AND MOTHERS’ HEALTH PROTECTION ACT OF 1996 The Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act of 1996 prohibits group and individual health insurance policies from restricting benefits for any hospital length of stay for the mother or newborn child in connection with childbirth; (1) following a normal vaginal delivery, to less than 48 hours, and (2) following a cesarean section, to less then 96 hours. Health insurance policies may not require that a provider obtain authorization from the health insurance plan or the issuer for prescribing any such length of stay. Regardless of these standards an attending health care provider may, in consultation with the mother, discharge the mother or newborn child prior to the expiration of such minimum length of stay. Further, a health insurer or health maintenance organization may not: 1. Deny to the mother or newborn child eligibility, or continued eligibility, to enroll or to renew coverage under the terms of the plan, solely to avoid providing such length of stay coverage; 2. Provide monetary payments or rebates to mothers to encourage such mothers to accept less than the minimum coverage; 3. Provide monetary incentives to an attending medical provider to induce such provider to provide care inconsistent with such length of stay coverage;

WOMEN’S HEALTH AND CANCER RIGHTS ACT OF 1998

The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 requires Colonial Distributing to notify you, as a participant or beneficiary of the Colonial Distributing Health and Welfare Plan, of your rights related to benefits provided through the plan in connection with a mastectomy. You, as a participant or beneficiary, have rights to coverage to be provided in a manner determined in consultation with your attending physician for: 1. 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; and

2. Prostheses and treatment of physical compilations of the mastectomy, including lymphedema.

These benefits are subject to the plan’s regular deductible and co-pay. For further details, refer to your Summary Plan Description. Keep this notice for your records and call Human Resources for more information.

MICHELLE’S LAW

The law allows for continued coverage for dependent children who are covered under your group health plan as a student if they lose their student status because of a medically necessary leave of absence from school. This law applies to medically necessary leaves of absence that begin on or after January 1, 2010 If your child is no longer a student, as defined in your Certificate of Coverage, because he or she is on a medically necessary leave of absence, your child may continue to be covered under the plan for up to one year from the beginning of the leave of absence. This continued coverage applies if your child was (1) covered under the plan and (2) enrolled as at student at a post-secondary educational institution (includes colleges, universities, some trade schools and certain other post-secondary institutions). Your employer will require a written certification from the child’s physician that states that the child is suffering from a serious illness or injury and that the leave of absence is medically necessary.

4. Require a mother to give birth in a hospital; or

5. Restrict benefits for any portion of a period within a hospital length of stay described in this notice.

SECTION 111

Effective January 1, 2009 group health plans are required by Federal government to comply with Section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extensions of 2007’s new Medicare Secondary Payer regulations. The mandate is designed to assist in establishing financial liability of claims assignments. In other words, it will help establish who pays first. The mandate requires group health plans to collect additional information, more specifically Social Security numbers for all enrollees, including dependents 6 months of age or older. Please be prepared to provide this information on your benefits enrollment form when enrolling into benefits.

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 FloridaBlue 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 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 our office for further information (see contact information below). 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 FloridaBlue changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time. For more information about your options under Medicare prescription drug coverage… 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: • Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see 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 notice. If you enroll in one of the new plans approved by Medicare which offer prescription drug coverage, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show that you are not required to pay a higher premium amount. • Visit www.medicare.gov

MEDICARE PART D

This notice applies to employees and covered dependents who are eligible for Medicare Part D. Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with FloridaBlue and about your options under Medicare’s prescription 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. 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare through Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offer prescription drug coverage. All Medicare prescription 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. FloridaBlue has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Welfare Plan for Employees of Colonial Distributing under the FloridaBlue option are, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as the 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. You should also know that if you drop or lose your coverage with FloridaBlue and don’t enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage after your current coverage ends, you may pay more (a penalty) to enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage later. _______________________________________________________ You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15 th to December 7 th . 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 FloridaBlue coverage will not be affected. You can keep this coverage if you elect part D and this plan will coordinate with Part D coverage. If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current FloridaBlue coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will be able to get this coverage back. When can you join a Medicare Drug Plan?

HEALTHCARE REFORM AND YOU

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act & The Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, together, create the most comprehensive health insurance reform ever under taken in recent history by our Country. Many of the new law’s required changes have already been incorporated into company health plans across the country since the effective date in September of 2010. However, there will be many more changes taking place in the months to come, as more guidance is issued by the government to employers, insurance carriers and individuals. One of the key requirements of the new law beginning in 2014, is the mandate that all U.S. citizens & legal residents either carry health insurance or pay an income tax penalty. While the tax penalty is not too severe in the first year, it becomes progressively more costly each year thereafter.

If you obtain coverage through an Exchange:

The Exchange will eventually sell insurance policies at certain levels of coverage: • Bronze level – a medical plan designed to pay 60% of covered medical benefits; • Silver level – a medical plan designed to pay 70% of covered medical benefits; • Gold level – a medical plan designed to pay 80% of covered medical benefits; • Platinum level – a medical plan designed to pay 90% of covered medical benefits; • Catastrophic – available to young adults up to age 30 or those exempt from the individual mandate (additional requirements may apply) If you satisfy certain low income thresholds and do not have medical coverage through an employer, or have employer- provided coverage that is considered “unaffordable” or pays benefits that are below the “Bronze” plan discussed above, there are tax credits available to help you pay the premiums for coverage purchased through the Exchange. The credits also help pay for expenses like deductibles and co pays. More information on these credits will be provided to you later. If you and your family are below 133% of the Federal Poverty Level in 2014, you may qualify for Medicaid. Other changes to take effect in 2014 are: The health plan may no longer exclude coverage of a pre- existing condition; The health plan may not impose more than a 90-day waiting period for coverage; Your plan may no longer place an annual limit on key benefits in the plan; Your health plan must allow dependent children up to age 26 to enroll in coverage, regardless of the availability of employer-sponsored coverage where they work. You may only obtain coverage through an Exchange if you are not participating in your employer’s plan.

Penalties for failing to buy coverage Tax penalties for failing to buy coverage are phased in according to the following schedule:

In 2014, the greater of $95 or 1% of taxable income;

In 2015, the greater of $325 or 2% of taxable income;

After 2016, the greater of $695 or 2.5% of taxable income

However, there are two ways to avoid the tax penalty:

You can buy coverage for you and your family through your place of employment, if your employer offers such coverage. That coverage must meet certain standards set by the law in order for you and the employer to escape respective tax penalties. The coverage must meet certain minimum coverage standards (Generally pays at least 60% of your covered medical expenses) and must be considered “affordable” (Employer cannot charge you a premium for single or employee only coverage greater than 9.5% of your W-2 earnings for the year). The 9.5% would apply to annual salaries of up to about $45,000. Or, you can provide coverage for you and your family through a Federally run Insurance Exchange that is supposed to be up and running by 1/1/2014. Essentially, an Exchange is an interactive site where an individual can go to research, evaluate and buy health plans. The State of Florida chose not to set up a state run exchange, so the Federal government will take over that responsibility.

COBRA NOTICE

COBRA

Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) provides terminated employees and their covered dependents the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage at group rates (plus 2% service fee) in certain instances where coverage under the plan would otherwise end. You and your covered dependents have the right to choose continuation coverage if group health coverage is lost under the health plan for any of the following reasons: (1) death of the employee; (2) a termination of the employee’s employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct) or a reduction in the employee’s hours of employment; (3) divorce or legal separation from employee; (4) employee becomes entitled to Medicare; or (5) the dependent child ceases to be a “dependent child” by definition under the plan. Under the law, you or the covered dependent has the responsibility to inform us, as the employer, within 30 days of a qualifying event such as divorce, legal separation, or a child losing dependent status under the plan. We, as the employer, have the responsibility to notify you and your covered dependents of the right to continue coverage should coverage end due to death, employment termination, reduction in hours of employment, or Medicare entitlement.

WELLNESS NOTICE

NOTICE REGARDING WELLNESS PROGRAM

Colonial Distributing 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.

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 Colonial Distributing may use aggregate information it collects to design a program based on identified health risks in the workplace, Colonial Distributing 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. 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.

New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options and Your Health Coverage

Form Approved OMB No. 1210-0149 (expires 5-31-2020)

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:

Human Resources 813-621-8800

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.

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.

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

Here is some basic information about health coverage offered by this employer: • As your employer, we offer a health plan to:

X All Employees. Eligible employees are:

All Full Time Employees working at least 30 hours.

Some employees. Eligible employees are:

With respect to dependents:

•

X We do offer coverage. Eligible Dependents are:

Your Legal Spouse. Your married or unmarried natural children, step-children living with you, legally adopted children and any other children for whom you have legal guardianship, who are under 26 years of age. A dependent who is older than 26 years of age, but less than 30 years of age may be eligible for medical benefits if the dependent is: • unmarried and not have dependents of his or her own; AND • Be a resident of Florida or a student; AND • Not have coverage of their own, or covered under any other plan; AND • Not entitled to benefits under Medicare

We do not offer coverage.

X 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.
