ENROLLMENT INFORMATION





         Who May Enroll
         If  you  are  a  regular  full‐time  employee  working  an  average  of  130  hours  per  month,  you  and  your  eligible  dependents  may
         participate in Alexander’s Mobility Services’ benefits program. Your eligible dependents include:
         •   Legally married spouse
         •   Registered domestic partner
         •   Children under the age of 26, regardless of student or marital status

         When You Can Enroll
         As an eligible employee, you may enroll at the following times:
         •   As a new hire, you may participate in the company’s benefits program on the first day of the month following the completion
            of 60 days of full‐time employment
         •   Each year, during open enrollment
         •   Within 30 days of a qualifying event as defined by the IRS (see Changes To Enrollment below)

         Paying For Your Coverage
         The Basic Life and AD&D, Base Long Term Disability, Health Advocate, and Travel Assistance benefits are provided at no cost to you
         and are paid entirely by Alexander’s Mobility Services. You and the company share in the cost of the Medical, Dental, and Vision
         benefits you elect. Any Voluntary Life and AD&D, Voluntary Short Term Disability, and Buy-Up Long Term Disability benefits you
         elect will be paid by you at discounted group rates. Your Medical, Dental, Vision and FSA contributions are deducted before taxes
         are withheld which saves you tax dollars. Paying for benefits before‐tax means that your share of the costs are deducted before
         taxes are determined, resulting in more take‐home pay for you. As a result, the IRS requires that your elections remain in effect for
         the entire year. You cannot drop or change coverage unless you experience a qualifying event.

         Changes To Enrollment
         Our benefit plans are effective January 1st through December 31st of each year. There is an annual open enrollment period each
         year, during which you can make new benefit elections for the following January 1st effective date. Once you make your benefit
         elections,  you  cannot  change  them  during  the  year  unless  you  experience  a  qualifying  event  as  defined  by  the  IRS.  Examples
         include, but are not limited to the following:

         •   Marriage, divorce, legal separation or annulment    •   Change in your residence or workplace (if your benefit
         •   Birth or adoption of a child                           options change)
         •   A qualified medical child support order             •   Loss of coverage through Medicaid or Children’s Health
         •   Death of a spouse or child                             Insurance Program (CHIP)
         •   A change in your dependent’s eligibility status     •   Becoming eligible for a state’s premium assistance
         •   Loss of coverage from another health plan              program under Medicaid or CHIP

         Coverage for a new dependent is not automatic. If you experience a qualifying event, you have 30 days to update your coverage.
         You may login to ADP to update your dependent information as needed or contact your local Benefits Administrator for assistance.
         ADP login information is located on page 5 of this guide. If you do not update your coverage within 30 days from the qualifying
         event, you must wait until the next annual open enrollment period to update your coverage.
