ELECTIONSKnowing that every employee has different needs, Gardner-White Furniture’s Employee Benefit Program isspecifically designed to provide basic benefits and allow you the flexibility to elect those levels of coverage youchoose for you and your family.ElectionsIt is important that you make your choices carefully. Changes to those elections can generally only be madeduring the annual open enrollment period. Exceptions will be made for certain changes in status during the year,allowing you to make a mid-year benefit change consistent with the change in status. If you have a change instatus, you must change your benefit elections within 30 days of the qualifying event, or you will need to waituntil the next annual open enrollment period. A change in status includes: Change in legal marital status (marriage, death of spouse, divorce or legal separation) Change in the number of dependents (birth, death, adoption or placement for adoption) Change in the employment status of the employee or the employee’s spouse including begin or terminateemployment, change in eligibility (full time to part time), a strike or lockout, commencement or return froman unpaid leave of absence and a change in worksite Dependent satisfies or ceases to satisfy eligibility requirements (attains a particular age) Alternate open enrollment time frame for spouse or loss of other coverageWhat happens if I do not enroll?If you do not enroll within the required time period, you will not beeligible for benefits until the next annual open enrollment period oryou experience a change in status. You may be subject to waitingperiods or reduced benefits if you decide to enroll at a later date.Will my election choices continue if I do not make changes duringOpen Enrollment?No, you must actively call the enrollment center to make your 2019elections.COBRA Continuation CoverageWhen you or any of your dependents no longer meet theeligibility requirements for your employer’s health and welfareplans, you may be eligible for continued coverage as required bythe Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986(COBRA). In the event of divorce, legal separation or change independent status, it is your responsibility to notify humanresources within 60 days for complete COBRA detail requirements.Your Tax AdvantageYour contributions for medical, dental, vision and FSA benefits aremade on a pre-tax basis. Your taxable income will be reducedby the amount you contribute for each benefit. You will not payincome tax on the amount you contribute, thus saving you taxdollars. The fact that your taxable income will be lowered doesnot affect your salary-related benefits, which will continue to becalculated upon your base earnings before contributions. You may,however, realize slightly lower Social Security benefits in the futurebecause of this pre-tax feature.4

As your health care partner, your PCP makes sure that you get the care you need when youneed it.Getting carePCPs provide many services in their offices, and they arrange for specialist care or special tests. Your networkgynecologist or obstetrician can also refer you to specialists for OB/GYN-related services. Specialists decide onthe services and the number of visits required for treatment.Extensive network of specialistsOur network includes thousands of specialists.

Sometimes the specialist may even be part of the same group as your PCP.When you do not need a referralYou do not need a referral for behavioral health services, but you must be seen by a provider who is in yourplan’s network.

You need approval from BCN for all servicesfrom specialists who are not in your plan’s network. Only your PCP or OB-GYN can refer you for specialist care.
