BENEFIT INFORMATION
?
CHOOSING YOUR BENEFITS
You must actively choose any benefit that you pay for, or share in the cost with M.E. Wilson Company. Your part of the cost is automatically taken out of your paycheck. There are two ways that the money can be taken out:
WHY DO I PAY FOR BENEFITS WITH BEFORE-TAX MONEY?
There is a definite advantage to paying for some benefits with before-tax money:
• BEFORE YOUR TAXES ARE CALCULATED – medical, dental, vision, health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA)
Taking the money out before your taxes are calculated lowers the amount of your pay that is taxable. Therefore, you pay less in taxes.
• AFTER YOUR TAXES ARE CALCULATED – voluntary life/ accidental death & dismemberment, disability and voluntary products
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 family status change.
Your marriage
•
Your divorce or legal separation
•
• Birth or adoption of an eligible child
• Death of your spouse or covered child
WHEN COVERAGE ENDS
• Change in your spouse’s work status that affects his or her benefits
Coverage will stop on the last day of the month in which employment with the company ends. Life insurance ends the last day of employment.
• Change in your work status that affects your benefits
• 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
COBRA – A Federal law that allows workers and dependents who lose their medical, dental, or vision coverage to continue any of these coverages for a specified length of time by electing and paying for continuation benefits. 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. Out of Pocket Maximum – The maximum amount you will pay in deductibles, copayments and coinsurance during the year.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)
What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)? It is an interest bearing account created to help you pay medical expenses. The funds in your HSA can be used to help pay your deductible, coinsurance and any qualified medical expenses not covered by your health plan (including dental and vision expenses). All of the money you contribute is tax-deductible when used to pay for qualified medical expenses. An HSA is your account. It goes with you if you change jobs or when you retire.

FLEXIBLE SAVINGS ACCOUNT (FSA)
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is an employee benefit plan that allows you to set aside a portion of your paycheck, on a pre-tax basis, to pay for non-reimbursable health care and dependent care expenses. All eligible family members are covered under this plan as long as they are claimed on your federal tax return. When you participate in a FSA, you reduce your taxable income and increase your take-home pay!
Two types of FSA plans are available, Health Care FSA (HCFSA) and Dependent Care (DCFSA). These plans were designed by the IRS to provide you with tax relief for non-reimbursable medical expenses and immediate tax savings for dependent care when there are two working parents. Health Care FSA pays for eligible healthcare expenses which generally include those products/services that are not fully covered by your medical, dental or vision insurance plan. A minimum annual contribution of $120 is required with the maximum FSA contribution of $2,650 per plan year (January 1 – December 31). NOTE: If you are enrolled in a qualified HDHP for your medical plan and contribute to a HSA account, your participation in the HCFSA becomes known as a “limited purpose FSA”. Under this plan the FSA reimburses for dental and vision expenses only. Dependent Care FSA pays for eligible child care expenses of dependent children under age 13 (or one who is incapable of self-care) and pays for eligible adult care expenses. A minimum annual contribution of $120 is required with the maximum contribution of $5,000, per household, allowed per plan year (January 1 – December 31). PLEASE NOTE: Dependent Care FSA - you cannot submit for reimbursement unless that prorated election amount has been deducted. This is unlike the Medical FSA whereas funds are available immediately.
401(k) / RETIREMENT BENEFITS
M.E. Wilson offers all eligible employees the opportunity to contribute 1 to 75% of their gross earnings (up to the legal maximum) on a pre-tax basis and invest them in a variety of investment alternatives. Employee contributions to the plan and their earnings are immediately 100% vested. All eligible employees may enroll in the 401k plan January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1, after your initial 30 day waiting period.
TransAmerica has an automated voice telephone service available 24/7. Call the toll-free line at 1-800-401-8726 to monitor and manage your retirement account as follows:

VOLUNTARY LIFE INSURANCE (continued)
Please note that the premium amounts presented below may vary slightly from the amounts provided on your enrollment form, due to rounding. To select your benefit amount and calculate your premium, do the following: Locate the benefit amount you want from the top row of the employee premium table. Your benefit amount must be in an increment of $10,000. Refer to the Coverage Guidelines section for minimums and maximums, if needed. Find your age bracket in the far left column. Your premium amount is found in the box where the row (your age) and the column (benefit amount) intersect. If AD&D is desired, follow the same steps on the AD&D chart. Note: your AD&D volume must match your Vol Life volume. If the benefit amount you want to select is greater than any amount in the table below, select the benefit amount from the top row that when multiplied by another number results in the benefit amount you want. For example, if you want $150,000 in coverage, you obtain your premium amount by multiplying the rate for $50,000 times 3.

SHORT TERM DISABILITY
Short-term disability insurance can help protect your income in the event of a disability by providing you a benefit for injuries and sickness that are not work related. You are eligible to enroll in this plan at your own cost and benefits are payroll deducted.
Plan Features Include:
Weekly benefits are 60% of your basic weekly pay -maximum of $1,000 per week.
Benefits begin on the 8th day of disability for accident, sickness or pregnancy. Pregnancy is covered as any other disability. Benefits are payable to 12 weeks.
Benefits are not subject to federal income tax when premiums are paid with after-tax dollars (post-tax deduction from paycheck).
You may qualify for disability benefits by meeting either an occupation test or an earnings test
Occupation Test: you may qualify under the occupation test if you are under the regular care and attendance of a doctor, and an injury, sickness or pregnancy prevents you from performing at least one of the material duties of your occupation.
Earnings Test: you may qualify under the earnings test if any injury, sickness or pregnancy prevents you from earning more than 99% of your pre-disability pay.

LONG TERM CARE BENEFITS
Long Term Care (LTC) insurance is important for people of all ages if they want to preserve financial security and independence in the event of an extended disability.
Despite popular misconceptions, the need for long term care isn’t restricted by the elderly, because many working age adults have disabling injuries as well as illness.
Because we understand what an important benefit LTC can be, M.E. Wilson pays for 100% of the Plan A premium. If you would like additional coverage, you have the option to “buy up” to Plan B, C or D at your own expense.

VOLUNTARY INSURANCE
Voluntary Insurance Designed to Help Your Benefits Dollars Go Further!
One thing people can count on in life is change. We often fail to consider how these changes affect our current and long-term financial plans. To ensure you are up-to-date with your personal benefits needs, consider this question:
“Do I have the financial resources to help my family maintain their standard of living if I were to become seriously ill, injured or die?”
If you answered “I don’t know”, Colonial insurance could be the answer. As a benefit eligible employee of M.E. Wilson Company, Inc. you can choose from the following insurances that protect you and your family against these financial concerns that are caused from accidents, illnesses and death. Accident Insurance - Do your children play sports? Are you accident prone? This plan pays an emergency room benefit along with a follow up doctor visit. It covers you and your family 24/7 and also includes income for each day you are hospitalized, AD&D and catastrophic benefits with lump sum payments for specific injuries. Cancer Insurance – 62% of cancer related expenses are out-of-pocket costs that major medical plans are not designed to cover such as deductibles, coinsurance, loss of wages, travel expenses, treatment and medications. In addition, there is an annual wellness benefit of $100 for cancer screening tests for each person covered by the policy. Hospital Confinement Insurance - Pays an admission benefit in addition to a daily confinement benefit. This plan can help you budget for any out-of-pocket expenses (deductible and/or coinsurance) that occur when you or a family member is hospitalized. Critical Illness Insurance - Can help fill the gaps created by loss of income or high medical bills. This plan complements your other benefits by adding additional income when needed most. This coverage pays a lump sum benefit, upon diagnosis of a covered critical illness (i.e. stroke, heart attack, organ transplant, and end stage renal failure).

SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT
SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT FOR M.E. WILSON CO. 401(K) PLAN
This is a summary of the annual report for the M.E. WILSON CO. 401(K) PLAN (Employer Identification Number 59- 2585447, Plan Number 001) for the plan year 01/01/2017 through 12/31/2017. The annual report has been filed with the Employee Benefits Security Administration, as required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Basic Financial Statement Plan expenses were $43,883. These expenses included $12,674 in administrative expenses and $31,209 in benefits paid to participants and beneficiaries, and $0 in other expenses. A total of 47 persons were participants in or beneficiaries of the plan at the end of the plan year, although not all of these persons had yet earned the right to receive benefits. The value of plan assets, after subtracting liabilities of the plan, was $4,098,018 as of the end of the plan year, compared to $3,170,528 as of the beginning of the plan year. During the plan year the plan experienced a change in its net assets of $927,490. This change includes unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the value of plan assets; that is, the difference between the value of the plan's assets at the end of the year and the value of the assets at the beginning of the year or the cost of assets acquired during the year. The plan had total income of $971,373, including employer contributions of $50,274, employee contributions of $273,896, other contributions/other income of $124,198 and earnings from investments of $523,005. Information Regarding Plan Assets The U.S. Department of Labor’s regulations require that an independent qualified public accountant audit the plan’s financial statements unless certain conditions are met for the audit requirement to be waived. This plan met the audit waiver conditions for the plan year beginning 01/01/2017 and therefore has not had an audit performed. The plan’s assets were held in individual participant accounts with investments directed by participants and beneficiaries and with account statements from regulated financial institutions furnished to the participant or beneficiary at least annually and loans to participants and other qualifying assets.
General information regarding the audit waiver conditions applicable to the plan can be found on the U.S. Department of Labor Web site at http://www.dol.gov/ebsa under the heading "Frequently Asked Questions."

REQUIRED ANNUAL EMPLOYEE DISCLOSURE NOTICES
Required Annual Employee Disclosure Notices
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; 5. Restrict benefits for any portion of a period within a hospital length of stay described in this notice. 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. 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. 4. Require a mother to give birth in a hospital; or SECTION 111
WOMEN’S HEALTH AND CANCER RIGHTS ACT OF 1998
The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 requires M.E. Wilson Company to notify you, as a participant or beneficiary of the M.E. Wilson Company 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; 2. Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and 3. 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. 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.
