Important Information
The Affordable Care Act and You ACA Compliant Medical Plans The Affordable Care Act (ACA) establishes several medical standards aimed at improving healthcare quality and accessibility. All the medical plans offered meet these standards. California Individual Mandate Bill Text - SB-78 Health. (ca.gov) effective January 1, 2020, a state individual mandate that requires California residents to maintain acceptable health coverage or pay a penalty. Federal Individual Mandate: The Federal Individual Mandate, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirement that nearly every American be enrolled in medical coverage or pay a penalty, has been repealed effective in 2019 .
The Health Insurance Marketplace Because Inline Distributing Company medical plans are considered affordable and meet minimum value under Health Care Reform, you will not generally see lower premiums or out- of-pocket costs through the Marketplace. In addition, employer contributions to your medical benefits will be lost if you choose to purchase coverage through the Marketplace, and your portion of medical premiums will no longer be paid via payroll deductions. For more information on your coverage options, please visit Still need health insurance? | HealthCare.gov.
Section 125 “Cafeteria Plan” The Section 125 “Cafeteria Plan” is just a document that describes the specific ways in which the employer is allowing employees to take advantage of pre-tax deduction options. Section 125 is the section of the IRS tax code where the items that can be deducted from employee pay on a pre-tax basis are defined. In the context of Section 125, “pre-tax” means that a deduction is exempt from Federal Income Tax Withholding, Social Security and Medicare Taxes. Employers may deduct the employee’s portion of the company- sponsored insurance premium directly from said employee’s paycheck before taxes are deducted .

Eligibility and Changes During The Year
Who May Enroll All regular, full-time, active employees working 30 or more hours per week are eligible to participate in the benefits program. Eligible employees may also choose to enroll their dependent(s). Dependents are considered eligible if they are: • A spouse or domestic partner* • You or your spouse’s children, stepchildren, adopted children or foster children up to age 26 • You or your spouse’s children of any age if they are incapable of self-support due to a physical or mental disability * Imputed Income Applies When Coverage Begins
Once enrolled, your enrollment choices remain in effect for the benefits plan year, November 1st through October 31st of the following year. Benefits for eligible new hires start on the first of the month following your date of hire and continue for the rest of the plan year. Employees have an annual open enrollment period, meaning you are able to take action and enroll, change or cancel your existing enrollment in any of your benefits. If you miss the open enrollment period, you will continue with your current elections.
Changes During the Year If you experience an IRS qualifying life event midyear, you can make changes to your benefits within 30 days from the date of the event. Submit your Qualifying Life Event (QLE) with the necessary supporting documentation to HR as soon as possible for approval within 30 days of the life event. Once approved, you will then be able to make your plan elections in the enrollment portal. If your change during the year is a result of the loss of eligibility or enrollment in Medicaid, Medicare or state health insurance programs, you must submit the request for change within 60 days.
Examples of IRS qualified life events: • Marriage, divorce or legal separation • Birth or adoption of a child • Death of a dependent • A change in part-time or full-time employment status. (Note: If changing from full-time to part-time
status, full-time only eligible benefits will be terminated at the end of the of the month of the change.) • You or your spouse/domestic partner lose or gain coverage through our organization or another employer
• Change in residence affecting eligibility or access
• Loss of eligibility due to Medicaid, Medicare or state health insurance programs For a complete list of IRS QLE’s, contact HR or the Acrisure team.
Open Enrollment Process & Paying For Coverage This enrollment process is 100% electronic. All product brochures, required forms and notices are included in the online enrollment portal: pps.bswift.com . Based on your benefit elections and coverage levels, you may be required to pay for a portion of the cost via payroll deduction. The per paycheck costs are calculated for you in the enrollment portal. You can, of course, decline or “waive” your company provided benefits.

Medical Coverage
Your Medical Plan Options The medical options available are provided by Anthem Blue Cross. To help guide your plan selection, the following pages include details concerning how the plans will operate, as well as plan highlights and features. The rates for any coverage will be found in the online enrollment system and at the end of the guide. Using an HMO Plan A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan requires you to see physicians that are only in network, and you will need to identify a primary care physician (PCP) to direct your use of the network and provide referrals to specialists and other in network services. • With the exception of an OB/GYN specialist who is affiliated with your selected medical group, you must receive a referral from your PCP before receiving services from a specialist • You and your enrolled dependent(s) are not required to see the same PCP, and you may change your PCP monthly, with the new PCP becoming effective on the first of the month following the change • Services may require a co-pay up front • You do not have to submit claim forms • Any services rendered out-of-network without the proper referral from your PCP will not be covered • Preventative is covered 100% Using an EPO Plan An Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) is a health insurance plan that only allows you to get health care services from doctors, hospitals, and other care providers who are within a certain network. Your insurance will not cover any costs you get from going to someone outside of that network. The only exception is that emergency care is usually covered. Generally, an EPO operates as follows: • EPO plans only cover the cost at doctors or health providers that are within your network • Emergency care is covered, even if it’s out of your network • You do not need a referral if you want to see a specialist with EPO insurance • An EPO is a hybrid between an HMO and PPO plan
Using a PPO Plan A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) medical plan allows you to see physicians both in network and out of network. You will pay a different fee to see doctors and/or hospitals outside of the network. Generally, a PPO operates as follows: • You may see an in-network doctor or you may go outside of the network for a higher copay. • Some services may still require authorization from a specific doctor or specialist before they may be covered. • Be sure to ask your physician/hospital if they are “in- network” to take advantage of the lower coinsurance. • Services may require a copay up front. • If your physician does not bill the carrier directly, you may submit claim forms for reimbursement if services are medically necessary. Calendar Year Deductibles and Out-of-pocket Maximums The calendar year deductible as well as each plans Out-of- Pocket maximum, aligns with the Calendar Year (January 1st - December 31st); they do not reset on the Benefit Plan Year (November 1st - October 31st). Selecting a Plan that is Right for You As you evaluate your health plan options and insurance needs, consider the following factors: • CHOICE: If you prefer to obtain services from specific physicians, specialists or facilities, check to see if the medical plan option will cover services from those providers. While some health plans restrict your provider selection, others provide greater flexibility and choice • CO VERAG E: Whether routine, surgical, prescription or another type of coverage, determine if the plan covers the services and medical treatments you value most. Plan exclusions, restrictions and limitations may also influence your selection • COST: Cost may be a large determining factor in your selection and each plan may contain a variety of cost components. Consider the amount of your payroll deduc- tion, as well as other plan expenses such as deductibles, copayments or coinsurance You are encouraged to review the complete Summary Plan Descriptions (SPD) of each plan. Do you have questions regarding a plan? To correspond with a plan representative, refer to the Directory & Resources section for important contact information.

Dental Coverage
Your Dental Plan Options You and your eligible dependents will have the opportunity to enroll in one of the three Dental Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans offered by Anthem. We encourage you to review the coverage details and select the option that best suits your needs. Using the Dental PPO Plan Any of the Dental PPO (DPPO) plans are designed to give you the freedom to receive dental care from any licensed dentist of your choice. Keep in mind, you’ll receive the highest level of benefit from the plan if you select an in-network PPO dentist versus an out-of-network dentist who has not agreed to provide services at the negotiated rate. Additionally, no claim forms are required when using in- network PPO dentists. There are three DPPO plans to choose from, with “Low”, “High”, and “Premium” all with different calendar year maximum benefit amounts. How To Find your Provider Using Anthem’s website, https://www.anthem.com/find-care/, you can find a provider/dentist near a city or zip code close to you. You will also be asked which dental network to search in, so chose the “Dental Complete” network.
TIPS FOR A HEALTHY MOUTH
• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush • Choose toothpaste with fluoride • Brush for at least two minutes twice a day • Floss daily • Watch for signs of periodontal disease such as red, swollen, or tender gums • Visit a dentist regularly for exams and cleanings

* Since, by definition, many dentists’ usual fees are below the 90th percentile fee, reimbursement is always based on the lesser of the dentist’s billed fee for a given procedure or the 90th percentile fee. This means that 90 percent of dentists’ billed fees will be covered in full relative to the group plan ** The reimbursement for services provided by an out-of-network dentist is capped at the Maximum Allowable Charge (MAC). For example, if you visit an out-of-network dentist who charges $150 for a cleaning (covered at 100%), but the MAC is set at $100, insurance will cover $100 and you will be responsible for the remaining $50 coinsurance level.

Vision Coverage
Your Vision Plan Options There are two Vision plans to choose from. As with a traditional PPO, you may take advantage of the highest level of benefit by receiving services from in-network vision providers and doctors. You would be responsible for a co-payment at the time of your service. However, if you receive services from an out-of- network doctor, you may pay all expenses at the time of service and submit a claim for reimbursement up to the allowed amount. How To Find an In-network Provider You have many choices when it comes to using your benefits. You may choose from many private practice doctors, local optical stores, and national retail stores including LensCrafters®, Target Optical®, Sears Optical® and JCPenney® Optical. You may also use your in-network benefits to order eyewear online at Glasses.com and ContactsDirect.com. To locate a participating network eye care doctor or location, go to https://www.anthem.com/ca/find-care/ . You may also call member services at 1-866-723-0515. If you choose to, you may instead receive covered benefits outside of the Blue View Vision network. Just pay in full at the time of service, obtain an itemized receipt, and file a claim for reimbursement up to your maximum out-of-network allowance.

Flexible Spending Account (FSA) - Health FSA If you did not elect the HSA medical plan, a Health (or Medical) Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a great cost savings tool that can help with common medical, dental, or vision expenses. You elect a portion of your salary to be deducted, on a pre-tax basis, from each paycheck to use for reimbursements of qualified out-of-pocket expenses throughout the plan year. If you elected the HSA Medical Plan, you cannot enroll in the Health FSA How a Health FSA Works A Health FSA may be used for the reimbursement of eligible medical, dental, or vision expenses for you, your spouse or dependents (as defined by Federal tax law), up to the amount you elect to contribute to the FSA for the year. The IRS set the 2025 maximum contribution at $3,300. The annual minimum contribution is $100. Deductions will be spread out in equal amounts, per paycheck, throughout the plan year. Due to the use or lose rule; it is important for you to carefully estimate your out-of-pocket expenses for the upcoming plan year. Any amount remaining after the end of the plan year (10/31/2026), and grace period, will be forfeited. How Your WEX Card Works For easy access to your FSA funds, you can swipe your WEX debit card and avoid out-of-pocket costs. If you use your card at a provider with an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS), the expense will automatically be approved at the point of sale. If the card is swiped at a merchant that meets the IRS’ 90% rule, you may need to provide documentation to show the expense is eligible. Access your online account from the Wex website at https://customer.wexinc.com/login/benefits-login/ . The card can be used at facilities and merchants participating in the Inventory Information Approval System (llAS). This list can be accessed at https://www.sig-is.org.

Flexible Spending Account (FSA) - Dependent Care A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (Dependent FSA) is a great cost savings tool to help with day care expenses for children under 13 or qualifying disabled spouse expenses. You can elect a portion of your salary to be deducted, on a pre-tax basis, from each paycheck to use for reimbursements of qualified out-of-pocket expenses throughout the plan year. How A Dependent Care FSA Works A Dependent Care Account is a simple way to save money on care for your dependents. It allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for day care expenses. The 2025 IRS limit for this type of account is $5,000. If you are married and file separate returns, you can each elect $2,500 for the calendar year. When choosing how much to set aside for dependent care, please note that any unused funds remaining in your Dependent Care Account at the end of your plan year (10/31/2026) will be forfeited. To be eligible for this account, both you and your spouse (if applicable) must work, be looking for work or be full-time students. You may receive reimbursement up to the balance in your account at the time the request is made. Eligible Dependents • Children under age 13 who are claimed as a dependent for tax purposes • Disabled spouse or disabled dependent of any age Ineligible Dependents • Costs claimed as a dependent care tax credit on your tax return • Services provided by one of your dependents • Expenses for nighttime baby-sitting • Your own dependents, under age 19, baby-sitting • Expenses paid for school (Kindergarten and above) Access Your Account Access your online account from the WEX website at https://customer.wexinc.com/login/benefits-login/ . You can submit expenses online, through the toll-free fax, via email or by mail. Your money will be directly deposited into your checking or savings account, or you can receive a check in the mail. Recurring Dependent Care Reimbursement You can eliminate the need to submit substantiation throughout the year for dependent care expenses by enrolling in Recurring Dependent Care. This process only requires you to submit one form per year for each day care provider used during the year. If your cost of dependent care per month is less than your monthly payroll deduction or you have currently contributed more to your plan than you have incurred in expenses, you do not qualify for Recurring Dependent Care and you’ll need to file claims as services are incurred. The Recurring Dependent Care Request Form can be found in the consumer portal. This form must be completed by you as the participant and by your day care provider. A separate form must be completed for each day care provider if you use more than one.

Basic Life & Supplemental Term Life Insurance
Company Paid Basic Life Insurance with AD&D Coverage If you enroll in a medical plan, all eligible associates will be automatically enrolled in a Unum Basic Life Insurance policy, with Accident Death and Dismemberment (AD&D). The face value is $100,000. Reductions of benefit face amount begin at age 65. AD&D insurance can pay a benefit if you survive an accident but have certain serious injuries. It can also pay an additional amount if you die from a covered accident. This benefit includes an Accelerated Benefit which would allow you, with a terminal condition with less then 12 months to live, to request a percentage of the face value to be paid out to, understanding that the payout would be taxable and would reduce the remaining face value amount by the same amount. Supplemental Term Life Insurance The company also makes available to you Voluntary Life Insurance through Unum. • For You: Increments of $10,000 up to a maximum of 5X annual earnings or $500,000, whichever is less • For your Spouse / Domestic Partner: Increments of $5,000 up to a $250,000 maximum benefit. It cannot exceed 50% of your Supplemental Life coverage amount • For your child(ren): Children ages 15 days to 26. $5,000 or $10,000 maximum benefit. All children are covered with only one rate, regardless of the number of children Note: In order to have coverage on your Spouse/Domestic partner or child(ren), you must elect coverage on yourself. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance provides specified benefits for a covered accidental bodily injury that directly causes dismemberment (e.g., the loss of a hand, foot, or eye). In the event that death occurs from a covered accident, both the life and the AD&D benefit would be payable. This policy provides a “Living Benefit” option to withdraw a percentage of your life insurance coverage when diagnosed as terminally ill (as defined in the policy), and may be taxable. The death benefit will be reduced by the amount withdrawn. Spouse rates are based on your age. You will remain at that rate for the plan year. Rates will change annually upon plan anniversary when you enter the next age bracket.
Guaranteed Issue Amounts “Guaranteed Issue” means that coverage up to the Guarantee Issue amounts are available when first eligible for the plan
without medical underwriting questions. • Newly Eligible Associate: $150,000 • Spouse / Domestic Partner: $30,000 • Child(ren): $10,000
If you wish to become insured for an amount of Supplemental Life in excess of the Guaranteed Issue amount, the excess will be subject to Unum’s medical underwriting approval and you will be required to submit a health questionnaire to Unum, also known as an Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form. All late applications are also subject to medical underwriting approval. Assigning Your Beneficiaries During enrollment you must provide the name(s) and other information for at least one beneficiary for your policy. Beneficiaries can be changed as often as you need. A beneficiary is someone designated in your life insurance policy to receive all or part of your death benefit. There can be more than one beneficiary – and in practice, there often is. A beneficiary doesn’t have to be a person – it can also be an entity such as a church, charity, or family trust. Important Notes: • Minor children: If the named beneficiary is a minor, the benefit is put ‘On Hold’ for Age of Majority (age is 18) or until Guardianship/Conservatorship Paperwork is received. Benefits may be paid if the benefit is under $10,000. • Spouse: There is a community property sign off form. It is not mandatory that this form be used. Typically this form is used to have the spouse waive their rights to the policy amount. General practice is that the carrier will pay the person that has been named as the beneficiary.

You can protect the income you depend on with disability insurance.
