                                      IMPORTANT INFORMATION



         The Affordable Care Act and You

         The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires nearly every American to be enrolled in medical coverage or pay a penalty. This is referred
         to as the individual mandate. You have several options to satisfy this requirement:
            Enroll in a medical plan offered by MegaPath or another group plan
            Purchase coverage through a health insurance marketplace
            Enroll in coverage through a government sponsored program
            Have no coverage and incur a tax penalty

         Because MegaPath’s medical plans are considered affordable and meet minimum value under Health Care Reform, you will not
         generally see lower premiums or out-of-pocket costs through the marketplace. In addition, employer contributions to your medical
         benefits will be lost if you choose to purchase coverage through the marketplace, and your portion of medical premiums will no
         longer be paid via payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis.

         For more information on your coverage options, please visit www.healthcare.gov.

         Annual Notices

         Various state and federal laws require that employers provide disclosure and annual notices to their plan participants. MegaPath
         has posted all federally required annual notices on myMega for you to download and read at your convenience.

            Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act
