So it’s important to us to be able to provide high-quality benefits to you and your family. As you know all too well, the cost of health care and other benefits continue to rise. We worked hard to create a benefits program that offers the coverage you need at an affordable price while remaining consistent with our mission. Use this website to understand the changes coming in 2015 and make the benefits selections that work best for you and your family.

BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 3 What’s New in 2015? Over the last year, we’ve made progress toward integrating some of our Baylor and Scott & White Health benefits. You’ll see some of those changes in this enrollment season. Next year and into 2016, we will continue our benefits integration, including developing a common medical plan. We will keep you up to date on any changes as we progress. What's different in 2015? What stays the same for 2015? Eligibility for benefits Long-Term Disability Medical Short-Term Disability Dental Life and AD&D insurance Vision Discount Program FSA/HSA vendor Thrive Wellness Program Employee Assistance Program Legal Services Eligibility We’ve changed our benefits eligibility. If you are scheduled to work 60 hours or more each pay period (previously 64 hours), you are now eligible for full-time employee benefits. We will continue to offer benefits to part-time employees (those who work 40 to less than 60 hours per pay period). Medical Plan Costs Our Preferred Network has helped us control cost over the last year. In fact, by using the Preferred Network and making smart choices, such as getting preventive care, using generic drugs when possible, and establishing a relationship with a primary care physician in the Preferred Network, has helped us keep our medical cost increase significantly below many other companies. Your medical insurance rates will increase 4% in 2015, significantly less than the average industry trend of 8%. When you use Preferred Network providers, you’ll continue to pay the lowest copays and coinsurance no matter which medical plan you select. The Preferred Network is made up of BSWH facilities, providers in the Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance (BSWQA), as well as certain Aetna network pediatricians. To ensure you are using the Preferred Network, visit the Aetna DocFind at aetna.com/docfind/custom/baylor. This site is customized for Baylor Scott & White employees. Bookmark it to use any time you need to locate doctors and facilities in the Preferred Network. Medical Copays and Coinsurance For the Gold, Silver and HSA medical plans, the coinsurance will remain at only 10% of the cost for Preferred Network providers and facilities. However, if you choose to use a provider or facility outside of the Preferred Network, your share of the cost will increase to 50% for Aetna providers. Out of network care will remain at the highest cost of 70% coinsurance. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 4 Copays for the PPO plan option will also remain at the lowest levels for Preferred Network providers and facilities. The copay cost will increase for Non-Preferred Network providers. Regardless of the plan you choose, emergency care at a Non-Preferred Network facility is not increasing and will remain at 35%. To conform to Affordable Care Act (ACA) guidelines, the out-of-pocket limits will increase slightly for some levels of coverage. However, there will be no increase in out-of-pocket limits at the Preferred Network level. Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) We are changing our FSA and HSA partner to WageWorks. If you enroll in one or both of these accounts, you will receive a new debit card from WageWorks for your 2015 expenses. In addition to pharmacy costs, you’ll now be able to use your debit card for eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses. Dental Plan Through some plan efficiencies, we are able to provide a slight premium reduction to all the dental plans. We will also be adding adult orthodontia to the PPO Plus dental plan option. Vision Rates for vision care will increase slightly in 2015. Some of this increase is necessary to cover the taxes associated with the Affordable Care Act. Eye exam copays will also increase to $20. Time Off PTO levels remain the same for 2015; however Baylor Scott & White Health will no longer offer the option to use future PTO time to help pay for health insurance costs during annual enrollment. Remember, if you are a full-time employee earning less $12/hour, your medical rates are significantly lower than those whose earnings are more than $12/hour. Employee Assistance Program We’re improving our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) by increasing the number of face-to-face sessions to six per year. Legal Services Beginning in 2015, you can now elect coverage through Hyatt Legal Services, which provides access to the country’s largest network of legal benefit providers for a relatively low cost to you. If elected, you can get professional legal assistance with issues like: • Creating a will or living will • Buying, selling or refinancing houses • Reviewing important paperwork • Losing a spouse or parent Wellness Credit We want to reward you for getting and staying healthy. In 2015, employees can now earn a $30 credit per pay period through the Thrive wellness program if you are enrolled in a medical plan and complete the steps below.

Tobacco Surcharge You must validate tobacco use for both you and your dependents on the benefits enrollment site.

Enrollment Deadline Remember to complete and submit your elections during Nov. 3-14. If you don’t complete enrollment within that time, your benefits selections from 2014 will automatically renew for 2015. If you don’t currently have Baylor Scott & White benefits and don’t complete enrollment, you won’t have benefits through Baylor Scott & White in 2015, with the exception of Basic Life and AD&D, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability, in which you will be automatically enrolled.

The big difference between the plans is how you pay for expenses before and after you meet your deductible. See How the Medical Plans Work for more information. Remember when you use a Preferred Network provider for your care; your office visit copays, coinsurance and out-of-pocket costs will be lower. The Preferred Network includes all Baylor Scott & White Facilities and providers who participate in both the Aetna Network and the Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance (BSWQA) and is supplemented with Aetna pediatricians with admitting privileges at Baylor facilities, Children’s Health™ Children’s Medical Center Dallas, Children’s Health™ Children’s Medical Center Plano, or Cook Children’s Health Care System facilities. To ensure you are using the Preferred Network, visit the Aetna DocFind at aetna.com/docfind/custom/baylor. This site is customized for Baylor Scott & White employees. Bookmark it to use any time you need to locate doctors and facilities in the Preferred Network. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 11 How the Medical Plans Work Select one of the four plan options below when you enroll. You can also select to receive added savings at the time you receive care by using the Preferred Network. All four plans cover eligible preventive care at 100% when using a Preferred Network provider or an Aetna provider in-network. The plans differ when it comes to how you pay for expenses before and after you meet your deductible. The other big difference in the plans is that the Consumer Gold and Silver plans offer health reimbursement account (HRAs), while the Aetna Medical HSA plan offers a health savings account (HSA). Here's a rundown of how the plans work, starting with how Baylor Scott & White can help offset your costs. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 12 BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 13 Aetna Consumer Gold & Silver Plans Limit Expenses for Families If you choose the Aetna Consumer Gold or Silver option for you and your family (Employee + Spouse or Employee + Family coverage) and a family member reaches $1,800 (Gold option) or $2,300 (Silver option) in expenses, the plan begins paying at the coinsurance rate for expenses incurred by that same individual — even if the full deductible has not been met. Other family members' expenses must be paid out of pocket until you meet your full deductible and will apply to your deductible until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 14 Selecting a Medical Plan Everyone likes choices. But, sometimes comparing your choices can be tough. Take a look at the comparison chart below to help you make your decision. The Preferred Network No matter which plan you choose during enrollment, you can always elect to use a Preferred Network provider when you need care. You’ll receive lower office visit copays, coinsurance and out-of pocket costs using the Preferred Network. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 15 Quality Alliance/Preferred Network Using the Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance and the Baylor Scott & White Preferred Network We work hard to be health care leaders and role models in the communities we serve. This commitment starts with taking care of ourselves; making good health care choices and using the great resources we have on our team. The Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance (BSWQA or Quality Alliance), as part of our Baylor Scott & White Preferred Network, is a great way to bring these together and help the system provide even better care year over year. High Quality Care The Quality Alliance is an industry-leading network of hospitals, physicians and specialists dedicated to: Improving the patient experience Improving the health of populations Decreasing cost Increasing efficiency So how does it work? First, Quality Alliance providers must elect to participate. Once a member of the Quality Alliance, participating physicians gain access to advanced technologies, support tools and administrative solutions. But, that’s just the starting point. • • • • Improving Lives and Communities For The Lives of Patients What makes the Quality Alliance special is its commitment to integrated, patient-centered care. The network encourages creating a strong medical home for patients with coordinated touch points across all care settings. So, you’re sure the team of Quality Alliance physicians and specialists is working together to provide the most coordinated care possible. For The Communities We Serve What’s more important, Quality Alliance members also look beyond individual health. Alliance members agree to work together to gain a broader perspective on the health of our community. Their shared knowledge allows the Quality Alliance to more accurately identify health trends, share treatment successes and evaluate the most effective outcomes — which ultimately benefits the communities they serve. By using the Quality Alliance you are doing more than being responsible with your health care use, you are helping physicians, specialists and hospitals in our community learn more about our collective health and provide better treatment to our community as a whole. Growing Network The Quality Alliance network started just a few short years ago and continues to grow stronger each year. The network now includes all Baylor Scott & White facilities as well as more than 2,500 other physicians and specialists in North Texas. And more providers request to join every day. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 16 Best Care for the Best Cost As part of the Baylor Scott & White Preferred Network, the Quality Alliance provides you with the best care at the best cost. You’ll get the highest level of coverage at the lowest out-of-pocket cost. So, be sure to see if your provider has joined the Quality Alliance. Just check Aetna’s DocFind customized for Baylor Scott & White employees at aetna.com/docfind/custom/baylor. The Preferred Network What is in-network? In-network includes a select group of health care providers who have agreed to provide services that meet our standards for quality and cost. Our basic level of in-network providers is in the Aetna network – available nationwide. Taking it to the next level. Baylor Scott & White has taken in-network service to the next level by combining the Aetna network providers with those who’ve met the high standards of the Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance (Quality Alliance) *Includes pediatricians with admitting privileges at Baylor facilities, Children’s Healthâ„ Children’s Medical Center Dallas, Children’s Healthâ„ Children’s Medical Center Plano, or Cook Children’s Health Care System facilities. **50% if hospitalized in a non-Baylor Scott & White facility for non-emergency care. Emergency care at a non-Baylor Scott & White facility is covered at 65%. How does it work? As a medical plan participant, you are free to see any provider within the Aetna network and receive innetwork care. But, you will receive the best care at the lowest cost by using a provider who participates in both the Aetna network and the Quality Alliance. To see if your provider is part of the Baylor Scott & White Preferred Network, check Aetna’s DocFind customized for Baylor Scott & White employees at aetna.com/docfind/custom/baylor. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 17 Health Accounts If you enroll in the Aetna Consumer Gold or Silver or the Medical HSA, you'll get money from Baylor Scott & White to help pay your medical expenses. If you enroll in the Consumer Gold or Consumer Silver plan, you automatically have a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) funded by Baylor Scott & White to help offset your higher deductible. If you enroll in the Medical HSA Plan, Baylor Scott & White will put money in a Health Savings Account (HSA) for you. In addition, you can contribute your own tax-free money to the HSA. You must have a physical mailing address (not a P.O. Box) in HRWorkWays to open an HSA. Review the chart on the next page to understand how these accounts work. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 18 BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 19 “Making Plan Choices? Ask Alex” Picking the right medical plan can be tough. But, help is just a few clicks away. Check out Aetna’s medical plan comparison tool - “Making Plan Choices? Ask Alex” Ask Alex is an interactive tool that acts as a virtual benefits counselor to help you understand and select benefits in a personalized way. It also helps you determine the financial impact of your benefit choices. It’s easy and can help you pick the right plan for you and your family! BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 20 Dental You have three dental plans to choose from: the MetLife PPO Standard, the MetLife PPO Plus, and the Aetna DMO. MetLife PPO Standard and MetLife PPO Plus With both the PPO plans, you can go to any dentist you choose, but you'll save money by going to one in the MetLife Preferred Dental Program (PDP). You have to meet the same deductible for both PPO plans ($50 Employee Only/$150 Employee + Spouse or Family) before the plan shares the cost of dental care with you. Preventative Care is 100% covered; you pay $0. In the MetLife Standard PPO, you pay a higher coinsurance and the annual maximum is lower. It does not cover orthodontia. In the MetLife Plus PPO, you pay a lower coinsurance, and the annual maximum is higher. MetLife Plus PPO covers orthodontia for adults and dependent children. Aetna DMO You must choose a primary dentist in the Aetna network if you enroll in the Aetna DMO. This plan covers basic and major care and orthodontia, but you don't have to meet a deductible. Instead, you pay fixed copays depending on the procedure. View Aetna's DMO Benefits Summary to see the schedule of copays. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 21 Find a dental provider in your network. For the MetLife Dental PPOs, go to www.MetLife.com and click on “Find a Dentist.” BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 22 Vision Baylor Scott & White offers one vision plan administered by Superior Vision Services. How It Works The plan covers routine exams, lenses, frames and contacts. You can see any doctor you'd like, but you'll save more money if you go to a doctor in the Superior Vision Services network. Go to www.superiorvision.com to find a provider in the Superior Vision Services network. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 23 Prescription Drugs Overview What you pay for prescription drugs varies based on the medical plan you choose. All prescription drugs are administered by Express Scripts. The plans pay better benefits when you use a Baylor pharmacy for your retail purchase — or buy generic. All mail order and specialty prescriptions are filled through Baylor pharmacies. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 24 Baylor Pharmacy Discounts Just as you can save more by selecting the Preferred Network for your care, you can also save on your prescriptions if you choose a Baylor pharmacy. Go to a Baylor pharmacy where an additional 4% to 5% average discount is available to medical plan participants. Fill your prescription through Baylor pharmacy mail-order program or at any Baylor pharmacy to get a three-month supply at a two-month supply price. (Note: Consumer-driven plan participants must exhaust their HRA and meet their deductible first. Medical HSA Plan participants must meet their deductible first). Get a 20% discount on over-the-counter drugs when you show your employee badge at any Baylor pharmacy. Best Buy! If you are enrolled in the PPO or have met your deductible in one of the other plans, you’re eligible for a great deal at a Baylor pharmacy (mail-order or retail). You can get a three-month supply of prescription drugs at a two-month price. Go Generic When Available If you choose to a fill a prescription with a brand-name drug when a generic is available, you will pay the difference in cost plus the applicable brand copay or coinsurance. Which drugs are chronic/preventative? View the specific list of drugs considered chronic/preventative. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 25 Medical Management of Prescription Drugs Baylor Scott & White has implemented several programs to help manage prescription drug costs. When you're at the doctor's office or filling prescriptions, be aware of the following: Step Therapy With almost every health condition, there are usually several different prescription drugs to choose from. In many cases, the medications are very similar or even identical but may vary substantially in cost. That's where Step Therapy comes in. Before using certain types of brand name medications, you may be required to try a lower-cost alternative first. How Step Therapy Works When you need a new prescription, for certain types of medications you will be required to try the least costly drug (usually a generic) for treating your condition. If it isn’t effective for you, you may “step up” to the next low-cost medication until you find the medication that works best. Keep in mind that when you step up to a brand-name back-up drug, you will pay more. Prior Authorization Some drugs need approval before the plan will cover them. If you receive a prescription for a drug that requires prior authorization, the pharmacist will contact your doctor. When the medication is approved, you'll pay the applicable copay or coinsurance. If it's not approved and you still want to take it, you'll pay the full cost. Quantity Management Quantity Management means that for certain prescription drugs Express Scripts will limit the amount you receive at one time based on the manufacturer's recommended dosages. How Quantity Management Works Let’s say your doctor decides to increase your dosage from one 10mg pill to two. Instead, with your doctor’s approval, you could take just one 20mg pill. Another example is for drugs (like inhalers or nose sprays) that you might not be able to measure easily. When you submit a prescription for one of these, you’ll receive the recommended amount, which should last until it’s time for a refill. When you submit a refill prescription, the pharmacist will discuss your options with you. Options could include talking to your doctor about changing your prescription to a higher strength or seeing if your medicine can be covered for larger quantity. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 26 More about Prescription Drugs Aetna Consumer Plan Participants When you shop at a Baylor pharmacy, you will get a discount off of the retail price. Then, if you’ve met your deductible, your coinsurance amount (10% generic, 20% preferred brand-name, 30% nonpreferred brand-name) will be calculated using the discounted retail price. In the case of chronic and preventive drugs, the pharmacy offers the discount according to whether the drug is regularly classified as a generic, preferred brand-name or non-preferred brand-name drug. After the appropriate discount is applied, you pay a coinsurance of 10%. It is not necessary for you to meet your deductible to pay this amount. For prescription drugs you take regularly, you can also receive a three-month supply at a two-month price if you’ve exhausted your HRA and met your deductible. Medical HSA Participants When you shop at a Baylor pharmacy, you will get a discount off of the retail price. Then, if you’ve met your deductible, your coinsurance amount (10% generic, 20% preferred brand-name, 30% nonpreferred brand-name) will be calculated using the discounted retail price. In the case of chronic and preventive drugs, the pharmacy offers the discount according to whether the drug is regularly classified as a generic, preferred brand-name or non-preferred brand-name drug. After the appropriate discount is applied, you pay a coinsurance of 10%. PPO Participants The PPO offers a set copay amount for prescription drugs. When purchasing prescriptions from any Baylor pharmacy, participants in the PPO will pay either the copay amount or the price of the drug, whichever is lower. So if a prescription drug costs less than your copay, you will receive the same discount (averaging 4% to 5% depending on whether it is generic or brand-name) that Consumer Plan participants receive. For prescription drugs you take regularly, you can receive a three-month supply at a two-month price. You will also receive the 20% discount on over-the-counter drugs. Chronic/Preventive Drugs If you need one of these drugs, you’ll pay a different amount than shown above. A complete list is available. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 27 Flexible Spending Accounts You have two Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) in which you can participate. Health Care FSAs and Dependent Day Care FSAs let you set aside pre-tax dollars from each paycheck to pay for out-of-pocket health care and dependent day care expenses. You do not pay federal income or Social Security taxes on your FSA contributions, which can mean a savings of 15% to 30%, depending on your tax bracket. If you elect the Medical HSA Plan and set up a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can still have an FSA, but it will be a Limited Purpose FSA. Use Online Tools to Estimate Expenses You'll find tools to help you estimate your FSA expenses at www.wageworks.com. FSA Debit Card Participants in all medical plans except the Medical HSA will get an FSA debit card from WageWorks for all their eligible drug expenses. This WageWorks FSA debit card can be used for prescriptions, medical copays/coinsurance, vision expenses, and dental expenses. Over-the-Counter Drug Reminder Over-the-counter drugs are not covered under the FSA unless prescribed by a physician. Medical supplies, such as bandages and contact lens solution, will still be covered without a prescription. Keep this in mind as you estimate your 2015 FSA contributions. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 28 How FSAs Work BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 29 How FSAs Save You Money Money you contribute to your FSA comes out of your paycheck on a pre-tax basis. So, if you know you will incur certain medical or dependent care expenses, putting the money aside each paycheck can save you money. Here’s an example of how it works. Marie has a 5 year-old son who attends day care. She contributes $5,000 into her Dependent Day Care FSA throughout the year. Here’s how much she saves: Without the FSA With the FSA Marie's annual pay $30,000 $30,000 What Marie put into the FSA $0 $5,000 Marie's taxable pay $30,000 $25,000 Taxes (15% federal, 7.65% SS) $6,795 $5,663 Marie's after-tax day care expense $5,000 $0 Marie's take-home pay $18,205 $19,337 Amount Marie saves by using the FSA $0 $1,132 BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 30 FSA Rules IRS Rules Because FSAs have tax advantages, special IRS rules apply: • No transfers. The Health Care FSA and Dependent Care FSA are separate accounts. You cannot transfer money between them. • Meet the deadline. Expenses must be incurred and paid for during the plan year (beginning on your benefits effective date through Dec. 31, 2015, or by March 15, 2016, for the grace period). • Use it or lose it. You have until April 30, 2016 to seek reimbursement for 2015 expenses or you lose the remaining balance. Make sure you estimate carefully. • No changes. The money you contribute is taken out of your paycheck, in equal amounts, before taxes. Your contribution amounts cannot be changed during the year, unless you have a qualifying life event. Additional FSA Rules Depending on which medical plan you choose, there are certain limits on how you can use your Health Care FSA. If you choose the Aetna PPO plan, you can use your FSA money to pay for eligible expenses. If you choose the Consumer Gold or Silver Plan: • • • Eligible expenses are paid using HRA funds first that Baylor Scott & White provides you. Once you use all the money in your HRA, you can then use your FSA money to pay any additional eligible medical expenses and help cover the cost of your deductible. Even before your HRA is empty, you can use your FSA money for eligible expenses not covered by the medical plan, such as dental and vision expenses. If you choose the Medical HSA Plan: • • • • You are eligible to enroll in a Limited Purpose Health Care FSA. Until you meet your deductible, you can only use your Limited Purpose FSA for dental and vision expenses or qualified medical expenses not covered by the medical plan. Once you meet your deductible, you can use your Limited Purpose FSA for all eligible medical expenses, too. You cannot be reimbursed for the same item under your HSA and Limited Purpose FSA. You are not eligible for the FSA debit card. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 31 Protection Overview Baylor Scott & White Health offers several options to help protect employees and their family members. This includes Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability. For Life Insurance, AD&D, and Long-Term Disability, Baylor Scott & White provides employees with the basic coverage they need. However, you have the option to purchase additional coverage for yourself or for family members for greater protection in case of unforeseen circumstances. Review the pages on the left for the various options. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 32 Life Insurance Baylor Scott & White automatically provides you with Basic Life Insurance that pays a benefit to your beneficiary equal to one times your base pay, up to $50,000. You can choose to purchase additional life insurance coverage for yourself, your spouse and your children. You can only increase your coverage by one level during annual enrollment or during a major life event. BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 33 BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 34 Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) AD&D benefits are paid if you or a covered family member dies or suffers an injury due to an accident.

It’s a special type of savings plan with features that can help your savings grow and outpace inflation. • • • You choose a percentage of your income to be withdrawn from your paycheck pre-tax and deposited into a 401(k) account. Baylor Scott & White matches a portion of the amount you contribute. The money in your account is invested in the funds of your choice within the Plan, giving your balance a chance to grow on a tax-deferred basis. Eligibility All Baylor Scott & White employees, including PRNs, are eligible to participate immediately (many employers make you wait six months to one year). Investor Basics If you are a first-time investor, visit the 401(k) at Your Benefits tab in HRWorkWays via myBaylor.com. You’ll find a presentation that explains investing basics, such as the difference between stocks and bonds. Company Match Baylor Scott & White will match your 401(k) contributions dollar for dollar, up to the first 5% of your eligible pay. Vesting Vesting is the amount of company match you get to keep when you leave Baylor Scott & White. See the chart below for the vesting schedule. The money you contribute is always yours. Years of Service Vesting Percentage New Vesting Percentage Hired Prior to January 1, 2015 and not Effective January 1, 2015 working after January 1, 2015 Less than 2 years 0% 0% 2 but less than 3 years 25% 0% 3 but less than 4 years 50% 100% 4 but less than 5 years 75% 100% 5 or more years 100% 100% BSWH Benefits Enrollment Guide (NTX) Page 37 If you were hired prior to January 1, 2015 and continue employment after January 1, 2015, the “new” vesting schedule will apply on and after January 1, 2015, although you will never have a vesting percentage less than your vesting percentage on December 31, 2014. Here are a couple of examples: 1. If you begin employment on March 1, 2014, you will be 0% vested until March 1, 2017. On that date, you will become 100% vested. 2. If your employment began on December 1, 2012, you become 25% vested on December 1, 2014 and 100% vested on December 1, 2015. Once you are 100% vested, you will always remain 100% vested in the Plan. Contributions You may contribute 1%-50% of your eligible pay on a pre-tax and after-tax basis.

Call the HR Center at 1-877-44MYJOB (1-877-446-9562), Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. CT and ask to speak with an advocacy associate.

If your issue is still unresolved after you’ve discussed it with the health plan’s customer service, call the advocacy team. If you contact the advocacy team before talking to your health plan, you may be directed to contact your health plan. An advocacy associate will review the issue to determine next steps. If the issue requires advocacy assistance, an advocate will be assigned to your issue and research the issue through resolution.
