The standard coverage is at NO COST to the employee. Disability Insurance - all full-time permanent employees (i.e. those who work at least 30 hours or more a week), will be provided with short and long term disability coverage.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) Benefits This is a voluntary benefit offered by Altair through its cafeteria plan. Altair offers employees the ability to pay for certain health care and dependent care expenses tax-free. Please refer to the enclosed summary and enrollment forms for more information. *Note, if you opt out of medical insurance you are still eligible for Flexible Spending Accounts but you MUST opt in to FSA to receive coverage when going through the online Benefits Enrollment process. Health Care Reimbursement - this account enables employees to deduct a maximum of $2, per calendar year on a pre-tax basis for any costs incurred that are not covered by medical, dental and vision insurances; this usually means deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance for the employee's health plan, but may also include expenses not covered by the health plan, such as dental and vision expenses. A medical FSA cannot pay for health insurance premiums, cosmetic items, cosmetic surgery, controlled substances (in violation of federal law), or items that improve "general health". As a result of the health care reform FSA money will no longer be used towards over-the-counter drugs, unless the patient obtains a note/prescription from his/her doctor. **Altair has adopted the $500 rollover rule, for Health Care Reimbursement ONLY. Employees participating in FSA will be allowed to roll over up to $500 of unused funds effective April 1 st, Dependent Care Reimbursement - this account enables employees to receive reimbursement for certain dependent care expenses for eligible children and/or other eligible dependents. These expenses must be incurred to allow the employee and the spouse to work, unless the spouse is a full-time student or incapable of self-care. The maximum amount allowed in this account is $5, per calendar year. * All submitted FSA claims are reimbursed on the 8 th paycheck of every month. Should the 8 th of the month fall on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, payday will be the preceding business day. ** Please be aware that March 31 st, 2016 is the deadline for submitting your FSA claims online and for turning in all receipts. Eligible claims are based on the calendar year, January 1, December 31, Revision Date: 12/11/2014 Page 8 of 9

Should the 8 th or 23 rd of the month fall on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, payday will be the preceding business day.
