6 Eligibility & Enrollment We offer a variety of options to help you select the benefits plans that best suit you and your family s needs. Consider factors such as spousal benefits, dependent eligibility and qualifying life events as you make your benefits selections. Eligibility Enrollment 6 Tip If you have a qualifying event that impacts your benefits status, you must make changes within 31 days of the event. Evidence of the event is required. If you are a full-time employee of RECON who is regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week, you are eligible to participate in the Medical, Dental, Life, and Disability plans as well as additional benefits. When does coverage begin? The elections you make are effective on the first day of the month following 60 days after hire or rehire. Due to IRS regulations, once you have made your choices for the plan year, you can t change your pre-tax benefits (Medical and/or Dental plans) until the next enrollment period beginning May 1, 2015, unless you have a qualifying life event. Your Eligible Dependents Dependents eligible for coverage in the RECON benefits plans include: Your legal spouse.* A domestic partner (see Domestic Partner Coverage - Page 7).* Your dependent children up to age 26 (includes stepchildren, legally adopted children or children placed with you for adoption, and foster children). Your dependent child, regardless of age, provided he or she is incapable of self-support due to a mental or physical disability, is fully dependent on you for support as indicated on your federal tax return and is approved by your medical plan to continue coverage past age 26. Please note that verification of eligibility will be required once dependents are enrolled. * If your spouse or registered domestic partner is employed by a company that offers medical and prescription drug insurance (Rx) to your spouse or domestic partner, he or she is not eligible to be covered under the RECON medical and Rx plans.

7 Things to Consider Before you enroll, it is a great idea to closely evaluate your benefit needs in order to accurately set up your benefits under your new plans with RECON. Situations that you should take into account as you assess your benefits decisions: Does your spouse have benefits coverage available through another employer? Did you get married, divorced or have a baby recently? If so, you may require coverage for a new addition to your family. Did any of your covered children reach their 26th birthday this year? If so, they are no longer eligible for benefits. Qualifying Life Events When one of the following events occurs, you have 31 days from the date of the event to notify the Benefits Department and/or request changes to your coverage. Your change in coverage must be consistent with your change in status. Change in your legal marital status (marriage, divorce or legal separation) Change in the number of your dependents (for example, through birth, death or adoption, or if a child is no longer an eligible dependent) Change in your spouse s employment status (resulting in a loss or gain of coverage) Change in your employment status from full time to part time, or part time to full time, resulting in a gain or loss of coverage Entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid Change in your address or location that affects the plans for which you are eligible Enrollment NOTE: Your change in coverage must be consistent with your change in status. 7 Your new coverage becomes effective on the date specified for the Annual Enrollment period or on your eligibility date or status change date. Domestic Partner Coverage To be eligible for domestic partner coverage, you and your domestic partner must meet the conditions outlined in the Domestic Partner Certification Affidavit. This form must be submitted at time of enrollment. Proof of the ongoing nature of the domestic partnership may be requested as needed. Domestic partner tax note: For domestic partner benefits, the IRS treats RECON s contributions as taxable income. Contributions will be made on an after-tax basis. For questions or to review a document with additional tax information about domestic partners, please contact your Benefits Department at

8 Enrollment 8 Curious About Qualifying Life Events and How They May Affect Your Coverage? Preparing to Enroll RECON provides its employees the best coverage possible. As a committed partner in your health, RECON will be absorbing a significant amount of the costs. Contributions for Medical and Dental benefits are deducted on a pre-tax basis - this lessens your tax liability. Please note that employee contributions for Medical, Dental, Life, Disability and additional benefits coverage vary depending on the level of coverage you select. In general, the higher your level of coverage, the higher your employee contribution will be. Keep in mind that you may select any combination of Medical, Dental, Life, Disability and additional benefits. For example, you could select medical coverage for you and your entire family, but select dental coverage only for yourself. The only requirement is that you, as an eligible employee of RECON, must elect coverage for yourself in order to elect any dependent coverage. You have the option to select coverage from the following categories: Employee Only Employee + Spouse Employee + Child(ren) Employee + Family Be sure to have the Social Security numbers and birth dates for any eligible dependent(s) that you plan to enroll. You cannot enroll your dependent(s) without this information.

20 Required Notices 20 Required Notices Important Notice from Remedial Construction Services, L.P. About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare under the Century Healthcare Plan(s) Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Remedial Construction Services, L.P. and about your options under Medicare s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. There are three important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare s prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. Remedial Construction Services, L.P. has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Century Healthcare plan is, on average for all plan participants, NOT expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays. Therefore, your coverage is considered Non-Creditable Coverage. This is important because, most likely, you will get more help with your drug costs if you join a Medicare drug plan, than if you only have prescription drug coverage from the Remedial Construction Services, L.P. plan. This also is important because it may mean that you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you do not join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible. 3. You can keep your current coverage from Remedial Construction Services, L.P.. However, because your coverage is non-creditable, you have decisions to make about Medicare prescription drug coverage that may affect how much you pay for that coverage, depending on if and when you join a drug plan. When you make your decision, you should compare your current coverage, including what drugs are covered, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Read this notice carefully - it explains your options. When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare during a seven-month initial enrollment period. That period begins three months prior to your 65th birthday, includes the month you turn 65, and continues for the ensuing three months. You may also enroll each year from October 15th through December 7th. However, if you decide to drop your current coverage with Remedial Construction Services, L.P., since it is employer/ union sponsored group coverage, you will be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan; however you also may pay a higher premium (a penalty) because you did not have creditable coverage under the Remedial Construction Services, L.P. plan. What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Remedial Construction Services, L.P. coverage will not be affected. For most persons covered under the Plan, the Plan will pay prescription drug benefits first, and Medicare will determine its payments second. For more information about this issue of what program pays first and what program pays second, see the Plan s summary plan description or contact Medicare at the telephone number or web address listed herein. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Remedial Construction Services, L.P. coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will not be able to get this coverage back. When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? Since the coverage under Remedial Construction Services, L.P. is not creditable, depending on how long you go without creditable prescription drug coverage you may pay a penalty to join a Medicare drug plan. Starting with the end of the last month that you were first eligible to join a Medicare drug plan but didn t join, if you go 63 continuous days or longer without prescription drug coverage that s creditable, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join. For More Information about This Notice or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage Contact the person listed at the end of these notices for further information. NOTE: You ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through Remedial Construction Services, L.P. changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time. For More Information about Your Options under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the Medicare & You handbook. You ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans.

21 For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage: Visit Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the Medicare & You handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help Call MEDICARE ( ). TTY users should call If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at or call them at (TTY ). Remember: Keep this Medicare Part D notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty). Date: May 1, 2014 Name of Entity/Sender: Contact Position/Office: Remedial Construction Services, L.P. Benefits Department Address: 9977 W. Sam Houston Parkway North Suite 100 Houston, TX Phone Number: Women s Health and Cancer Rights Act The Women s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 was signed into law on October 21, The Act requires that all group health plans providing medical and surgical benefits with respect to a mastectomy must provide coverage for all of the following: Reconstruction of the breast on which a mastectomy has been performed Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance Prostheses Treatment of physical complications of all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedema This coverage will be provided in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, and will be subject to the same annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions which apply for the mastectomy. For deductibles and coinsurance information applicable to the plan in which you enroll, please refer to the summary plan description or contact the Benefits Department at HIPAA Privacy and Security The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 deals with how an employer can enforce eligibility and enrollment for health care benefits, as well as ensuring that protected health information which identifies you is kept private. You have the right to inspect and copy protected health information that is maintained by and for the plan for enrollment, payment, claims and case management. If you feel that protected health information about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask your benefits administrator to amend the information. The Notice of Privacy Practices has been recently updated. For a full copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices, describing how protected health information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to the information, contact the Benefits Department at HIPAA Special Enrollment Rights If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to later enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards your or your dependents other coverage). Loss of eligibility includes but is not limited to: Loss of eligibility for coverage as a result of ceasing to meet the plan s eligibility requirements (i.e. legal separation, divorce, cessation of dependent status, death of an employee, termination of employment, reduction in the number of hours of employment); Loss of HMO coverage because the person no longer resides or works in the HMO service area and no other coverage option is available through the HMO plan sponsor; Elimination of the coverage option a person was enrolled in, and another option is not offered in its place; Reaching the plan s lifetime benefit maximum on all benefits, if the person is covered under a separate plan or a single plan with multiple options and the other option has a higher lifetime maximum, or the benefits paid under the first option were not integrated with the second option; Failing to return from an FMLA leave of absence; and Loss of coverage under Medicaid or the Children s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Unless the event giving rise to your special enrollment right is a loss of coverage under Medicaid or CHIP, you must request enrollment within 31 days after your or your dependent s(s ) other coverage ends (or after the employer that sponsors that coverage stops contributing toward the coverage). If the event giving rise to your special enrollment right is a loss of coverage under Medicaid or the CHIP, you may request enrollment under this plan within 60 days of the date you or your dependent(s) lose such coverage under Medicaid or CHIP. Similarly, if you or your dependent(s) become eligible for a state-granted premium subsidy towards this plan, you may request enrollment under this plan within 60 days after the date Medicaid or CHIP determine that you or the dependent(s) qualify for the subsidy. In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact the Benefits Department at Required Notices 21
