Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate. However, this guide is not an insurance policy.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ELIGIBILITY: As a Yates LLC employee, you may be eligible for enrollment in a variety of insurance products. Full-time employees may participate in the benefits package beginning the 1st of the month following 30 days of full-time employment.
WHO IS AN ELIGIBLE DEPENDENT?

WHEN YOU CAN ENROLL IN BENEFITS:
• During your initial new hire eligibility period • During the annual Open Enrollment period for a June 1st effective date
If you fail to enroll within the time frame given for the new hire eligibility or annual enrollment window, you will not be able to elect benefits again until the next Open Enrollment period, and you will not have coverage, unless you experience a qualified life event. Please make your elections on time, or you may experience a delay in using your benefits.
QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTS are events that cause an individual to lose his or her group health coverage. The type of qualifying event determines who the qualified beneficiaries are for that event and the period of time that a plan must offer continuation of coverage. Qualifying Life events include: • Marriage, divorce, or legal separation • Death of spouse or other dependent • Birth or adoption of a child • You or your spouse experience a work event that effects your benefits • A dependent’s eligibility status changes due to age, student status, marital status, or employment • Relocation into or outside of your plan’s service area You must notify Human Resources within 30 days of the qualifying life event. Depending on the type of event, you may be asked to provide proof of the event. If you do not contact Human Resources within 30 days of the qualifying event, you will have to wait until the next annual enrollment period to make changes.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA)
Yates LLC – Time to get more money in your paycheck What is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)? It is a plan which allows you to set aside funds, on a pre-tax basis, to pay for eligible expenses you incur during the plan year for medical, dental, pharmacy and/or vision services related to you or your dependents. There are two accounts – Medical Flexible Spending and Dependent Care Flexible Spending . How do I get this tax savings? You determine the amount you want to allocate for participation in either, or both, accounts and complete the enrollment form during your Open Enrolment period. The amount you elect to set aside is not taxed, you end up with more money in your pocket. The amount you allocate is divided evenly over the course of the year and deducted from your payroll, reducing your applicable tax each pay period. Who can I “cover” with my allocation? Expenses for you and your dependents are reimbursable under this plan if they are deemed eligible by the IRS guidelines.
Medical Flexible Spending Account • Budget and save for qualified known medical expenses for you and your family for the upcoming plan year, June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025. • Your entire election amount is available the first day of the plan year. Maximum election amount is $3,200 . • Yates LLC plan has the grace period/carry over. This means you can still incur expenses and spend down your 2023 balance through August 31, 2024/carry over up to $640 into the next plan year.
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account • Set aside money pre-tax to pay for day care/child care expenses for the upcoming plan year, June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025. • Expenses for children under the age of 13 who are tax dependents and disabled spouse or disabled dependents of any age can be reimbursed. • Maximum election amount is $5,000 ($2,500 if married filing single). • This is a pay as you go account, funds are not paid in advance of your deposits. • Examples of Eligible Expenses: Child care for infant child Before and after school care Pre-School Summer day camp Dependent Care FSA Tax Savings Example:
