Documentation is required when adding or removing all dependents. A complete list of acceptable documents is listed on page 6. Availability of Summary Health : You can find a Summary of Benefits & Coverage (SBC) that describes the important provisions (deductible, copay, etc.) of each option available to you under your plan online at Addinitupforme.com, then click on Programs, then Reference, and then SBCs. You can also request a paper copy by calling the McDonald s Service Center at NAME: Last First Middle DEPENDENT NAME Last name, first name middle initial SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER DATE OF BIRTH mm/dd/yyyy EMPLOYEE #: YOUR EMPLOYEE # CAN BE FOUND ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF YOUR PAY STUB SPOUSE, DOMESTIC PARTNER* OR CHILD MALE OR FEMALE Please indicate: Yes or No Dental Vision Medical If child age 26 or older: Handicapped? Please indicate: Yes or No Dependents Your eligible Dependents under the McDonald s Plans (HMO eligibility may differ) are: Your Spouse or Domestic Partner* (with completed Affidavit of Domestic Partnership/Dependent Tax Certification -form 3838), after meeting domestic partner eligibility criteria.) Fiancées are not eligible. If you listed a Domestic Partner last year but are legally married, change it to Spouse and send in your marriage certificate to the Service Center. Children: Your child under age 26 (older if handicapped and dependent on you for support) who is your natural child, adopted child, step child, foster child, or a child for whom you are the legal guardian. Children or dependents, such as grandchildren or parents, should not be listed even if they are your IRS dependents, except in the case of children for whom you are the legal guardian. These same rules apply for the child(ren) of your spouse or domestic partner*. * See Note at bottom of page 5 below. Please read the following before you sign the form If electing an HMO, in addition to this form, you must fill out an HMO enrollment form, which can be obtained from the McDonald s Service Center and must be returned to the McDonald s Service Center. You will not be covered without submitting both the HMO form and this form to the McDonald s Service Center. A qualifying life event change allows you to request a change in your Medical and Vision Supplement/Dental coverage category (i.e., employee + spouse, family) and McDonald s Medical Plan option or your Healthcare Spending Account or Dependent Care Spending Account within 60 days (31 days for HMO plans) of the event. If you do not submit a change by that date you will have to wait until the next annual enrollment period to do it.

3 Signature I have reviewed the above insurance, Healthcare Spending Account and Dependent Care Spending Account elections and understand the following: Where I have not made an election or selected Decline Coverage, I have rejected coverage. For Annual Enrollment, I will reference the Annual Enrollment materials for the deadline to make elections. For Daily Enrollment (as a new hire/newly eligible employee), I have until prior to the first day of the month that coverage could begin to make this election. After that date, I will not be able to change the coverage elected or to enroll for any coverage until McDonald s next annual enrollment period or within 60 days (31 days for HMO plans) of a qualifying life event. Acceptance of the requested insurance change may depend on approval based on acceptance by an HMO. If applicable, I certify that this request is consistent with my life event change. I am responsible for paying each premium for the group insurance or HMO coverage I elect. I elect to pay my premiums and Healthcare/Dependent Care salary reductions by payroll deductions under the McDonald s Premium Payment Plan, the McDonald s Healthcare Spending Account and the McDonald s Dependent Care Spending Account, for coverage that I elect. Failure to do so may result in termination of my coverage. My PPO medical election will rollover in the next year if I do not re-enroll. My HMO and Healthcare/Dependent Care elections will remain in effect from year to year unless I change them during annual enrollment or due to a life event. I must recertify each year to avoid spouse and tobacco surcharges on my medical insurance. My Healthcare and Dependent Care Spending Account balances remaining after all eligible expenses for the calendar year, including the grace period, have been reimbursed will be forfeited to those Plans. I certify that I will only submit eligible medical/dental/vision expenses to the Healthcare Spending Account and eligible Dependent Care expenses to the Dependent Care Spending Account and that I will not have those expenses reimbursed from any other source. For Hawaii employees only: I understand that if I separate from employment after McDonald s has prepaid my share of the premiums, McDonald s will deduct one-half of the premium cost from my final pay.

Complete the affidavit below to certify whether or not the surcharge should apply to you. IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THE AFFIDAVIT AND FINISH YOUR ANNUAL ENROLLMENT, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY PAY THE SURCHARGE if you re enrolled in a McDonald s medical plan for You will not be able to change this surcharge until annual enrollment for 2018 (unless you complete the medical plan s smoking cessation program). Remember, use of a tobacco product means any use (even one time) of a tobacco product, including cigarettes, chewing tobacco, cigars, pipes or any other product that contains tobacco CERTIFICATION By checking a box below, I agree that the statement I check is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if I am being purposefully dishonest, my coverage could be terminated back to January 1, I could be required to repay claims and I could be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. I certify I and all of my covered dependents have not used any tobacco products during the past 90 days or more, or have completed the medical plan s smoking cessation program since August 1, (Surcharge does not apply.)

IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THE AFFIDAVIT AND FINISH YOUR ANNUAL ENROLLMENT, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY PAY THE SURCHARGE if you cover a spouse or domestic partner on your McDonald s medical plan for Remember, comprehensive coverage means the insurance covers a wide variety of health care services (including doctor visits, hospital stays, surgery and rehabilitation). Medicare is not considered comprehensive coverage CERTIFICATION By checking a box below, I agree that the statement I check is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if I am being purposefully dishonest, my coverage could be terminated back to January 1, I could be required to repay claims and I could be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. I also understand that the spousal surcharge, once applied for the year, can only be removed due to either the death or divorce of a spouse/dp, except during annual enrollment. I certify OR My covered spouse or domestic partner does not have access to comprehensive medical coverage through his or her employer (or he/she is a McDonald s staff or McOpCo restaurant employee). (No surcharge.) My covered spouse or domestic partner has access to comprehensive medical coverage through his or her employer (other than McDonald s). (Surcharge applies.) About the Surcharges The surcharge amount is the same for tobacco use and spouse/domestic partner coverage. If both surcharges apply to you (you and/or a covered family member use tobacco and you cover a spouse/domestic partner who has access to another employer s coverage), then the extra cost you pay each month is two times the number below. For 2017, the surcharge for McDonald s Gold, Silver, Bronze and HMO plans is: $20 per month for Full-time Crew $33 per month for Restaurant employees and Staff in the Associate and Coordination bands $46 per month for Staff above the Coordination band $63 per month for Officers Take note: The tobacco use surcharge is only applies once, regardless of how many family members use tobacco.
