GENERAL INFORMATION
This Flexible Compensation Plan allows you to pay your cost for the benefits you elected through a Salary Reduction
Agreement. This lowers your federal and state taxes. Under this Flexible Compensation Plan two types of benefit plans
offered by your Employer: 1) premium benefits and 2) reimbursement benefits. Premium benefits are made to secure
your participation in your elected plans. These are payments made from your employer’s general assets to an insurance
company or a third-party administrator. Reimbursement benefits are benefits paid under an agreement to reduce your
salary by the amount you elected and pay you tax free benefits for certain qualified events such as healthcare and
dependent care expenses.
Administration. Your Employer or appointed Plan Administrator is responsible for the administration of your Employer-
Sponsored General Welfare Plans. Should you need to see any records or have any questions regarding these plans,
contact the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator has sole discretionary authority (a) to interpret the plan in order to
make eligibility and benefit determinations, and (b) to make factual determinations as to whether any individual is eligible
and entitled to receive any benefits under the plan. A health insurance issuer is not responsible for the plan’s
administration (including reimbursement payments).
The Plan Administrator appoints TASC as a Service Provider to maintain certain plan records and to be responsible for the
plan’s day-to-day administration. TASC is not a Plan Administrator and has no discretionary authority regarding the plan.
Plan Termination or Amendment. The Employer, or appointed Plan Administrator, has the right, in its sole discretion, to
terminate the plan or to modify or amend any provision of the plan at any time. Upon the termination or partial
termination of the plan, participants have no plan benefits except with respect to covered events giving rise to benefits
occurring prior to the date of plan termination or partial termination, except as otherwise expressly provided in writing by
the Employer.
Excess Payments. Upon any benefit payment made to a Participant in error under the plan, said Participant will be
informed and required to repay the errant amount. This includes and is not limited to amounts over the participant’s
annual election, amounts for services that are determined to be ineligible, or when adequate documentation to
substantiate a paid Request for Reimbursement (RFR) upon request is not provided. The Employer may take reasonable
steps to recoup such an amount including withholding the amount from future salary or wages and subtracting from
future benefit reimbursement(s) the amount paid in error.
No Continued Employment. No provisions either of the plan or of this SPD shall grant any Employee any rights of
continued employment with the Employer or shall in any way prohibit changes in the terms of employment of any
Employee covered by the plan.
Non-Assignment of Benefits. No Participant or beneficiary may transfer, assign or pledge any plan benefits except as may
be required pursuant to:
(a) a “Qualified Medical Child Support Order” (which provides for plan coverage for an alternate recipient),
(b) other applicable law, or (c) electronic payment made directly to a healthcare provider.
