2018 benefits open enrollment guide

YOUR WELCOME TO

MAA Associates,

MAA has a number of important responsibilities and goals associated with exceeding the expectations of those we serve. One of these is providing you and your family with access to competitive, affordable and comprehensive benefit plan options. We are excited to share our benefits program, which offers many choices and rewards you for taking an active role in your health. With health costs rising each year, we work to provide a comprehensive benefits program that helps MAA attract and retain motivated and talented associates. Our Benefits team works diligently to provide you with great options, promote benefit plan understanding and highlight the importance of wellness by: • Helping our associates to make informed decisions when choosing their benefits. We are excited to introduce you to ALEX®, a virtual benefits counselor that can help you understand your options and decide which benefits are best for you by guiding you through an interactive process. •Encouraging associates to take an active role in their health, by offering tools through Cigna’s MotivateMe platform with rewards for associates and spouses covered under our medical plan in the form of contributions from the company to their health fund account (HRA or HSA). Reflective of this year’s benefits enrollment theme, “YOUR LIFE. YOUR CHOICE. YOUR BENEFITS.”, we are offering two medical plan options, two dental plan options, a vision plan, various voluntary benefit options, and ways to save on costs associated with your medical plan through wellness incentives and discounted rates based on years of service and whether or not you use tobacco, which allow you to tailor your benefits to your needs. This guide contains details on all of the benefit plan options and programs offered for 2018. I encourage you to review this guide carefully and use it to help you make your benefit elections for 2018. Do not forget to talk with ALEX® (details on page 8) before you enroll and throughout the year if you have questions.

We hope that you will find that the 2018 benefits options effectively meet the need for better health, wellness and protection for you and your family.

Eligible Dependents

Dependents you can cover include:

• Legal spouse (same or opposite sex)

• Child(ren) up to age 26, regardless of marital or student status. Eligible children include your biological children, stepchildren, adopted children or children placed in your home for adopƟon, foster children, and children for whom you are the court-appointed legal guardian if that child is financially dependent on you. • A child of any age who is medically cerƟfied as disabled (prior to the child’s 26th birthday), resides with you, and is primarily dependent upon your support.

QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTS

After your new hire enrollment period has expired, you cannot enroll in or make changes to your benefit elections until the next annual Open Enrollment period unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event, as defined by the IRS, such as:

• Marriage, divorce, or legal separation • Birth, adoption or placement of adoption of an eligible child • Death of your spouse or child • Gain or loss of coverage with your spouse’s employer as a result of an employment event • Change in your child’s eligibility • Becoming eligible for Medicare or Medicaid • Receipt of a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) • Significant change in cost or coverage in your spouse’s or child’s health insurance plan • Gain or loss of benefits eligibility, such as a transition from Full Time to Part Time or Part Time to Full Time

Changes made on account of a qualifying life event must be consistent with the event. You have 30 days from the date of a qualifying life event to notify the Benefits department and make changes to your benefit elections in Workday. Benefit elections made following a qualifying life event will become effective on the date of the event (such as the date of marriage or birth), in most situations. For questions or additional information, contact the Benefits department at 1.877.277.2327, send an email to [email protected] or submit a support ticket through MAA’s Support Portal using the Benefits—General category.

Notice of Special Enrollment Rights If you are declining coverage for yourself and/or your eligible dependent(s) during the initial or a subsequent annual enrollment period because of other health coverage (such as COBRA coverage or coverage under another health plan), you may be able to enroll yourself and your eligible dependent(s) in MAA’s medical coverage if you or your dependents lose eligibility for such other coverage (such as due to the end of the maximum COBRA period, ceasing to meet the eligibility requirements, or as otherwise required by law) or if employer contributions toward that other coverage cease. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after loss of other coverage. If the other coverage ends voluntarily, such as due to failure to pay the required premiums, there is no right to special enrollment. In addition, if you or your dependent (1) becomes eligible for state-granted premium assistance or (2) lose health coverage under Medicaid or State Children’s Health Insurance Plan (known as CHIP), you will have a special enrollment right under MAA’s group medical plan. To enroll, you must request coverage within 60 days of either of these two events.

WHEN & HOW TO ENROLL

Need some additional assistance? We have the tool for you! Introducing ALEX®, a virtual benefits counselor who can help you figure out which benefit plans will best serve your needs. See page 8 for more information!

Determine if you are eligible and who you can cover. The table on page 5 highlights eligibility for benefits and who pays for the coverage. In addition, page 5 describes which of your dependents are eligible to be covered under most benefit plans.

Log In to Workday to Enroll Complete the New Hire Enrollment event in your inbox in Workday to waive or elect coverage under benefit plans for the 2018 plan year. Remember, whether you are waiving coverage under all benefit plans or electing coverage under certain benefit plans for 2018, you must submit your benefit elections in Workday by the deadline associated with your New Hire Enrollment event. If you do nothing, you will not have health insurance and coverage under other benefit plans through MAA in 2018.

Choice fund hsa plan

• Lower Annual Deductible

• Higher Annual Deducible (considered a High-Deductible Health Plan or HDHP) • Lower Payroll Contributions • Comes with a Health Savings Account (refer to “What is a Health Savings Account?” on page 14 for more information) • When one or more dependents are covered under the plan, the Annual Family Deductible is shared. However, the plan includes an embedded Annual Individual Out-of-Pocket Maximum, which means you will not pay more than this amount in a calendar year for any individual covered under the plan. • For prescriptions and all covered services that are not considered routine and preventive, you pay the cost until you meet your deductible. After you meet your deductible, you pay a percentage of the cost.

• Higher Payroll Contributions • Comes with a Health Reimbursement Account (refer to “What is a Health Reimbursement Account?” on page 13 for more information) • When one or more dependents are covered under the plan, there is an Maximum, which means you will not pay more than these amounts in a calendar year for any individual covered under the plan. •You pay a copay when you have a visit at the doctor’s office or urgent care center for covered services that are not considered routine and preventive. embedded Annual Individual Deductible and Out-of-Pocket

•You pay a percentage for prescription drugs, up to a certain amount.

• Click here to see the prescription drugs that are covered under this plan at 100%.

• For all other covered services, including visits to the emergency room, you pay the cost until you meet your deductible. After you meet your deductible, you pay a percentage of the cost.

H R A WHAT IS A HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT?

A Health Reimbursement Account, or HRA, is an account associated with your Choice Fund HRA Plan. The account is administered by Cigna and funded by MAA, as indicated below. When claims are processed, Cigna uses the available funds in your HRA to pay providers for eligible expenses applied to your copays, deductible, and coinsurance. Unused funds in your HRA carry over at the end of each year with no limit, as long as you remain covered under the Choice Fund HRA plan. If your coverage terminates under the Choice Fund HRA plan, you forfeit any unused funds in your HRA.

H S A WHAT IS A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT?

Click here to view materials from Cigna/HSA Bank.

A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is a tax-advantaged savings account that works in conjunction with a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). HSA dollars can be used to pay a wide range of qualified medical expenses for you and your covered dependents. Click here for a summary of qualified medical expenses. You must meet the following IRS requirements to be eligible for an HSA:

• You must be enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan, such as the Choice Fund HSA Plan. • You must not be covered under another health plan, including Medicare Parts A and B and TRICARE. • You must not be participating in a Medical Flexible Spending Account (FSA) that reimburses for medical expenses, unless it is limited to work with an HSA. • You must not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return.

If you meet the IRS eligibility requirements and enroll in the Choice Fund HSA Plan, an HSA will be opened on your behalf through HSA Bank. Your HSA can be funded by MAA in two ways. In addition, you can fund your HSA with pre-tax payroll contributions. The sum of contributions made by you and MAA cannot exceed the annual IRS limit. The charts below indicate the IRS limits for 2018 for Employee Only Coverage and Family Coverage (Employee + 1 or more dependents) along with the contribution amounts that can be made by you and MAA in 2018*. *If you are between the ages of 55 and 64 in 2018, in addition to the IRS limits indicated in each chart below, the IRS allows you to contribute up to an additional $1,000 to your HSA, which is referred to as a Catch-Up Contribution.

*Maximum amount you can contribute depends on the amount of wellness incentives earned in the year. For example, if you earn $500 in wellness incentives, you can contribute up to $2,700 in pre-tax payroll contributions in 2018. **Maximum amount you can contribute depends on the amount of wellness incentives earned by you and your covered spouse (if applicable) in the year. For example, if you and your spouse earn $1,000 ($500 each) in wellness incentives, you can contribute up to $5,400 in pre-tax payroll contributions in 2018.

You should also know the following about your HSA: • Your pre-tax payroll contributions are added to your HSA each pay period and you may change your HSA contribution at any time during the year through Workday. • Your HSA remains tax-free as long as you use it to pay qualified medical expenses. • You will receive an HSA debit card which can be used at the time of service to pay for eligible expenses or at an ATM to reimburse yourself for eligible expenses you paid out-of-pocket, up to the amount available in your account. You won’t need to submit documentation to substanti- ate your charges, but it’s important to keep your receipts for all expenses paid from your HSA for tax and recordkeeping purposes. • Money in your HSA can earn interest or investment gains tax-free. • If you withdraw funds for non-medical expenses, you will be subject to income tax and, if you’re under age 65, an additional 20% tax penalty. • Unused funds in your HSA carry over at the end of each year with no limit. • If your coverage terminates under the Choice Fund HSA Plan, the money in your HSA is yours to keep.

DENTAL PLAN options

Cigna Dental PPO Low Option + Cigna Dental PPO High Option MAA offers two dental plan options through Cigna. Both plans give you the flexibility to receive care in or outside of Cigna’s DPPO Network, however, when you receive care in-network, your costs are lower. Those who need less care can pay less by choosing the Low Option, while those who need more care, including Orthodontia, can choose the High Option.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSA ) S Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars from your paychecks to pay for qualified medical and/or dependent care expenses. Because that portion of your income is not taxed, you end up with more money in your pocket. Below you’ll find informa- tion on the FSAs offered by MAA and administered by Discovery Benefits. MAA offers three types of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) – a Medical FSA, a Limited FSA, and a Dependent Care FSA. Below is a chart that provides an overview of each plan.

life + accidental death and dismemberment (ad&D) Company-Paid BASIC Life Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) MAA provides eligible associates with Basic Life* and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance through Liberty Mutual at no cost to you. As a new associate, your coverage begins on the first of the month on or after 90 calendar days of employment and is equal to 1x your annual base salary, rounded to the next $1,000 with a minimum of $50,000 and maximum of $500,000.

*You must designate at least one beneficiary for your Basic Life insurance in Workday. You may change your beneficiary at any time in Workday.

Important Tax Information The IRS requires that you be taxed on the value of employer-provided group term life insurance for coverage over $50,000. The taxable value of this life insurance coverage is considered imputed income. Although you don’t receive cash, you are taxed as if you received cash in an amount equal to the value of the coverage. You will see the group term life tax accounted for on your biweekly paycheck.

Employee-Paid Optional Employee, Spouse, and Child Life Insurance You can elect additional life insurance coverage for yourself and your eligible dependents under the Optional Life Insurance Plan through Liberty Mutual. However, in order to elect coverage for your eligible dependents, you must elect additional coverage for yourself.

DISABILITY BENEFITS Short-term and long-term disability insurance provides you with income protection if you are unable to work due to a non-work related illness or injury. MAA provides disability insurance through Liberty Mutual at no cost to eligible full time associates. Short-Term Disability Insurance (STD) If you are out of work due to a non-work related injury or illness, you have a 7-day elimination (waiting) period before your benefits begin. During that time, you must use available Sick Time and/or PTO. If your disability claim is approved by Liberty Mutual, your STD benefits will begin on the 8th day of absence, as indicated in the table below. STD benefits are paid to you by MAA, according to the normal biweekly payroll schedule. Long-Term Disability Insurance (LTD) In the event your disability continues beyond the STD period, your LTD benefits will be paid to you directly by Liberty Mutual as indicated in the following table.
