IMPORTANT NOTICES When do my benefits start? The plan year for Colonial Life Insurance Products, Anthem Health, Inspira Financial Health Savings Account, Flex Facts Flexible Spending Accounts, Delta Dental of VA, and Eye Med Vision runs from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Please Note: Health Insurance benefits are based on the Calendar Year, running from January 1st through December 31st. Health benefits and deductibles will reset every January 1st. When do my deductions start? Deductions for Colonial Life Insurance Products, Anthem Health, Inspira Financial Health Savings Account, Flex Facts Flexible Spending Accounts, Delta Dental of VA, and Eye Med Vision start July 2025 for enrolled 12-month employees and August 2025 for enrolled 10-month employees. Why have my Accident or Medical Bridge benefits not started yet? The Health Screening Rider on the Colonial Accident and Colonial Medical Bridge plan has a 30-day waiting period for new enrollees. Coverage, therefore, will not begin until July 31, 2025. What is an EAP? Your employer offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your eligible family members. An EAP is an employer-sponsored benefit that offers confidential support and resources for personal or work-related challenges and concerns. Please see the EAP pages of this benefit guide for more details and contact information. How do Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds work, and do my FSA funds have to be used by a specific deadline? Flexible Spending Account expenses must be incurred during the plan year to be eligible for reimbursement. After the plan year ends, an employee has 90 days to submit claims for incurred qualified spending account expenses (or 90 days after employment termination date). If employment is terminated before the plan year ends, the spending account also ends. Failure to use all allotted funds in the FSA account will result in a “Use It or Lose It” scenario. Your plan includes a grace period which is an additional 2.5 months (running July 1, 2026, through September 15, 2026), during which you can incur eligible expenses that can be reimbursed. Therefore, you have from July 1, 2025, through September 15, 2026, to incur qualified expenses eligible for reimbursement. If you do not incur qualified expenses by September 15, 2026, and/or file by September 30, 2026, any contributions are forfeited under the “Use It or Lose It” rule. My spouse is enrolled in an Health Savings Account (HSA), am I eligible for an FSA? As a married couple, one spouse cannot be enrolled in a Medical Reimbursement FSA at the same time the other opens or contributes to an HSA. How do Dependent Care Account (DCA) funds work and when do they need to be used? Dependent Care Accounts are like FSA accounts and allow you to request reimbursement up to your current balance. However, you cannot receive more reimbursement than what has been deducted from your pay. Any remaining funds in your DCA account must be utilized before the deadline. Failure to use all allotted funds in the DCA account will result in a “Use It or Lose It” scenario. When will I get my card? If you will be receiving a new debit card, whether you are a new participant or to replace your expired card, please be aware that it may take up to 30 days following your plan effective date for your card to arrive. Your card will be delivered by mail in a plain white envelope. During this time you may use manual claim forms for eligible expenses. Please note that your debit card is good through the expiration date printed on the card. I want to sign my family up for benefits as well, what information will I need? If signing up for any coverage on your spouse and/or children, please have their dates of birth and social security numbers available when speaking with the Benefits Representative. What does Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax Change? Pre-Tax benefits take funds directly from your paycheck to cover benefits before going through State and Federal taxing process. Post-Tax collects funds for benefits after taxes have been taken out. Please be aware there are certain coverages that may be subject to federal and state tax when premium is paid by pretax deduction or employee contribution. Can I change my benefit elections outside of the enrollment period? Elections made during this enrollment period CANNOT BE CHANGED AFTER THE ENROLLMENT PERIOD unless there is a family status change, otherwise known as a qualifying life event (Mid-Year Events), as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Examples of Mid-Year Events can be found in the chart on the next page. Once a Mid-Year Event has occurred, an employee has 30 days to notify PGB’s VA Employee Services at 1-800-387-5955 to request a change in elections. I have a pre-existing condition. Will I still be covered? Some policies may include a pre-existing condition clause. Please read your policy carefully for full details. 6
MID-YEAR EVENTS The benefit elections you make during Annual Enrollment or as a New Hire will remain in effect for the entire plan year. You will not be able to change or revoke your elections once they have been made unless a Mid-Year Event (status change) occurs. The summary of events that allow an employee to make benefit changes and instructions for processing those life event changes can be reviewed in the chart below.

If an employer group has a cap on the number of preventive care (wellness) visits that are covered in full and the employee has exceeded the cap but would like to have another preventive care (wellness) visit, they may be responsible for copays and other out-of-pocket costs for the visit.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT
HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)
Save now — and for your future If you’re on a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), you can use an HSA to pay your required deductible with pretax funds. With an HSA, you may be able to contribute up to $4,300* per individual or $8,550* per family (pretax) annually. If you are 55 or older, you can contribute an extra $1,000.
Adding an HSA to your health plan can help grow your savings after meeting immediate health care expenses.
Triple tax benefit Your contributions are tax-free, and remain completely tax-free when used for qualified health care expenses.
Check HSA eligibility You’re eligible if you’re enrolled in a qualified high-deductible health plan, with a few exceptions. They include: • Other health plan coverage that pays out-of-pocket expenses before you meet your plan deductible, such as Medicare or TriCare coverage • A general-purpose health care flexible spending account or health reimbursement arrangement in the same year • Veterans Affairs medical benefits used in the last three months, unless the hospital care or medical services were for a service-connected disability • Someone claiming you as a dependent on their tax return

Medical FSA
Save up to $990 on medical expenses this year! Participating in an FSA is like receiving a 30% discount from your medical providers.
How does an FSA work?
Spending your FSA funds
A medical FSA is a flexible spending account that allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars for eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses for you and your dependents.
Choose an annual election amount, up to $3,300*. This amount will be deducted from your paychecks in equal installments throughout the year. Your full election will be available for spending on the first day of the plan year!
Swipe your Flex Facts debit card to pay for eligible expenses or pay with your personal funds and submit a claim for reimbursement.
Why should I enroll in an FSA?
Common eligible expenses
Almost everyone has some level of out of pocket medical costs. If you expect to incur medical expenses, you’ll want to take advantage of the savings this plan offers. Money contributed to a healthcare FSA is free from federal and most state taxes. On average, participants enjoy a 30% tax savings on their annual contribution, saving up to $990 per year!
Limited Purpose FSA for HSA participants
. . ..
You can't contribute to an HSA and full purpose FSA within the same plan year. Instead, you can contribute to a limited purpose FSA, which covers dental and vision expenses. This will help you preserve your HSA funds for other purposes, including saving for the future.
Helpful hints... Your election can only be changed during the plan year if you experience a qualifying event. Save your receipts. You may need itemized invoices to verify card swipes or for claim reimbursements. If your employment terminates, your account will be terminated. You will have an additional 2.5 month grace period to spend your FSA funds after the plan ends. Be sure to spend your funds by then, as unspent funds will be forfeited.

A dependent care FSA (DCA) is a flexible spending account that allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars for dependent care expenses that allow you to work or look for work. This includes daycares, babysitters and before/after school care.
Choose an annual election amount, up to $5,000/family. This amount will be deducted from your paychecks in equal installments throughout the year.
Qualifying Dependents* • Your qualifying child under age 13
Why should I enroll in an DCA?
Child and dependent care is a large expense for many families. If you pay for care of dependents in order to work, you’ll want to take advantage of the savings this plan offers. Money contributed to a dependent care FSA (DCA) is free from federal and most state taxes. On average, participants enjoy a 30% tax savings on their annual contribution, saving up to $1,500 per year!
. . . ..
Swipe your Flex Facts debit card to pay for eligible expenses or pay with your personal funds and submit a claim for reimbursement.
Helpful hints... Funds will be made available in your DCA account, as deductions are taken each payroll. Your election can only be changed during the plan year if you experience a qualifying event. Save your receipts. You may need itemized invoices to verify card swipes or for claim reimbursements. If your employment terminates, your account will be terminated. You will have an additional 2.5 month grace period to spend your DCA funds after the plan ends. Be sure to spend your funds by then, as unspent funds will be forfeited.
• Your spouse or qualifying adult child or relative who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care
Eligible Expenses • Before school or after school care for children 12 and younger • Custodial care for adult dependents • Licensed day care centers • Nanny / Au Pair • Nursery Schools or preschools • Late Pick-up fees • Summer or Holiday day camps A full list of eligible expenses can be found at www.flexfacts.com.

CANCER BENEFITS
Cancer Insurance How would cancer impact your way of life? Hopefully, you and your family will never face cancer. If you do, a financial safety net can help you and your loved ones focus on what matters most — recovery. If you were diagnosed with cancer, you could have expenses that medical insurance doesn’t cover. In addition to your regular, ongoing bills, you could have indirect treatment and recovery costs, such as child care and home health care services.
Help when you need it most Cancer coverage from Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company can help protect the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to build. It provides benefits you can use to help cover: ■ Loss of income ■ Out-of-network treatment ■ Lodging and meals ■ Deductibles and co-pays

CANCER ASSIST
One family’s journey
DOCTOR’S SCREENING
Paul and Kim were preparing for their second child when they learned Paul had cancer. They quickly realized their medical insurance wouldn’t cover everything. Thankfully, Kim’s job enabled her to have a cancer insurance policy on Paul to help them with expenses.
SECOND OPINION
SURGERY
Wellness benefit
Travel expenses
Out-of-pocket costs
Paul’s wellness benefit helped pay for the screening that discovered his cancer.
When the couple traveled several hundred miles from their home to a top cancer hospital, they used the policy’s lodging and transportation benefits to help with expenses.
The policy’s benefits helped with deductibles and co-pays related to Paul’s surgery and hospital stay.

Here are some
Colonial Life’s frequently asked questions about disability insurance: Will my disability income payment be reduced if I have other insurance?
What if I change employers?
You’re paid regardless of any other insurance you may have with other insurance companies. Benefits are paid directly to you (unless you specify otherwise).
If you change jobs or leave your employer, you can take your coverage with you at no additional cost. Your coverage is guaranteed renewable for life as long as you continue to pay your premiums when they are due.
When am I considered totally disabled?
Can my premium change? You may choose the amount of coverage to meet your needs (subject to your income). You can elect more or less coverage which will change your premium. Colonial Life can change your premium only if we change it on all policies of this kind in the state where your policy was issued.
Totally disabled means you are: l
l
l
Unable to perform the material and substantial duties of your job; Not, in fact, engaged in any employment or occupation for wage or profit for which you are qualified by reason of education, training or experience; and
What is a covered accident or a covered sickness?
Under the regular and appropriate care of a doctor.
A covered accident is an accident. A covered sickness means an illness, infection, disease or any other abnormal physical condition, not caused by an injury.
What if I want to return to work part-time after I am totally disabled? You may be able to return to work part-time and still receive benefits. We call this “Partial Disability.” This means you may be eligible for coverage if: l You are unable to perform the material and substantial duties of your job for more than 20 hours per week, l You are able to work at your job or your place of employment for 20 hours or less per week, l Your employer will allow you to return to your job or place of employment for 20 hours or less per week; and l You are under the regular and appropriate care of a doctor. The total disability benefit must have been paid for at least one full month immediately prior to your being partially disabled.
A covered accident or covered sickness: l Occurs after the effective date of the policy; l Occurs while the policy is in force; l Is of a type listed on the Policy Schedule; and l Is not excluded by name or specific description in the policy. EXCLUSIONS We will not pay benefits for injuries received in accidents or sicknesses which are caused by or are the result of: alcoholism or drug addiction; flying; giving birth within the first nine months after the effective date of the policy; felonies or illegal occupations; having a pre-existing condition as described and limited by the policy; psychiatric or psychological condition; committing or trying to commit suicide or injuring yourself intentionally; being exposed to war or any act of war or serving in the armed forces of any country or authority.
When do disability benefits end? The Total Disability Benefit will end on the policy anniversary date on or after your 70th birthday. The Hospital Confinement benefit increases when the Total Disability Benefit ends. A pre-existing condition is when you have a sickness or physical condition for which you were treated, had medical testing, received medical advice, or had taken medication within 12 months testing, or before the effective date of your policy. If you become disabled because of a pre-existing condition, Colonial Life will not pay for any disability period if it begins during the first 12 months the policy is in force.

Accident 1.0-Preferred with Health Screening Benefit-VA
Colonial Life’s Accident Insurance is designed to help you fill some of the gaps caused by increasing deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket costs related to an accidental injury. The benefit to you is that you may not need to use your savings or secure a loan to pay expenses. Plus you’ll feel better knowing you can have greater financial security.
What additional features are included? l
Worldwide coverage
l
Portable
l
What if I change employers? If you change jobs or leave your employer, you can take your coverage with you at no additional cost. Your coverage is guaranteed renewable for life as long as you pay your premiums when they are due or within the grace period.
Compliant with Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) guidelines
Can my premium change?
Will my accident claim payment be reduced if I have other insurance?
Colonial Life can change your premium only if we change it on all policies of this kind in the state where your policy was issued.
You’re paid regardless of any other insurance you may have with other insurance companies, and the benefits are paid directly to you (unless you specify otherwise).
How do I file a claim? Visit coloniallife.com or call our Customer Service Department at 1.800.325.4368 for additional information.

TERM LIFE INSURANCE
Term Life Insurance Life insurance protection when you need it most Life insurance needs change as life circumstances change. You may need different coverage if you’re getting married, buying a home or having a child. Term life insurance from Colonial Life provides protection for a specified period of time, typically offering the greatest amount of coverage for the lowest initial premium. This fact makes term life insurance a good choice for supplementing cash value coverage during life stages when obligations are higher, such as while children are younger. It’s also a good option for families on a tight budget — especially since you can convert it to a permanent cash value plan later.
With this coverage: n A beneficiary can receive a benefit that is typically free from income tax. n The policy’s accelerated death benefit can pay a percentage of the death benefit if the covered person is diagnosed with a terminal illness. n You can convert it to a Colonial Life cash value insurance plan, with no proof of good health, to age 75. n Coverage is guaranteed renewable up to age 95 as long as premiums are paid when due. n Portability allows you to take it with you if you change jobs or retire.
Talk with your Colonial Life benefits counselor to learn more.

Spouse coverage options
Dependent coverage options
Two options are available for spouse coverage at an additional cost:
You may add a Children’s Term Life Rider to cover all of your eligible dependent children with up to $20,000 in coverage each for one premium.
1. Spouse Term Life Policy: Offers guaranteed premiums and level death benefits equivalent to those available to you –whether or not you buy a policy for yourself. 2. Spouse Term Life Rider: Add a term rider for your spouse to your policy, up to a maximum death benefit of $50,000; 10-year and 20-year are available (20-year rider only available with a 20- or 30-year term policy).
The Children’s Term Life Rider may be added to either the primary or spouse policy, not both.
If the insured dies by suicide, whether sane or insane, within two years (one year in ND) from the coverage effective date or the date of reinstatement, we will not pay the death benefit. We will terminate this policy and return the premiums paid, without interest. Product may vary by state.

REQUIRED HEALTH CARE NOTICES Newborn and Mothers’ Health Protection Act Group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under federal law restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a cesarean section. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, plans and issuers may not, under federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours).
Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act In October 1998, Congress enacted the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998. This notice explains some important provisions of the Act. Please review this information carefully. As specified in the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act, a plan participant or beneficiary who elects breast reconstruction in connection with a covered mastectomy is also entitled to the following benefits: 1. All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed: 2. Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and 3. Prostheses and treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy , including lymphedemas. Health plans must provide coverage of mastectomy related benefits in a manner to determine in consultation with the attending physician and the patient. Coverage for breast reconstruction and related services may be subject to deductibles and insurance amounts that are consistent with those that apply to other benefits under the plan.

Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272).

COBRA CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE INTRODUCTION: You’re getting this notice because you recently gained coverage under a group plan. This notice has important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan. This notice explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect your right to get it. When you become eligible for COBRA, you may also become eligible for other coverage options that may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and other members of your family when group health coverage would otherwise end. For more information about your rights and obligations under the Plan and under federal law, you should review the Plan’s Summary Plan Description or contact the Plan Administrator.
A, Part B, or both); or • You become divorced or legally separated from your spouse. Your dependent children will become qualified beneficiaries if they lose coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events: • The parent-employee dies; • The parent-employee’s hours of employment are reduced; • The parent-employee’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; • The parent-employee becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (Part A, Part B, or both); • The parents become divorced or legally separated; or • The child stops being eligible for coverage under the Plan as a “dependent child.”
You may have other options available to you when you lose group health coverage. For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally doesn’t accept late enrollees.
Sometimes, filing a proceeding in bankruptcy under title 11 of the United States Code can be a qualifying event. If a proceeding in bankruptcy is filed with respect to Charlottesville City Schools and that bankruptcy results in the loss of coverage of any retired employee covered under the Plan, the retired employee will become a qualified beneficiary. The retired employee’s spouse, surviving spouse, and dependent children will also become qualified beneficiaries if bankruptcy results in the loss of their coverage under the Plan.
What Is Cobra Continuation Coverage?: COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when it would otherwise end because of a life event. This is also called a “qualifying event.” Specific qualifying events are listed later in this notice. After a qualifying event, COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a “qualified beneficiary.” You, your spouse, and your dependent children could become qualified beneficiaries if coverage under the Plan is lost because of the qualifying event. Under the Plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA continuation coverage [choose and enter appropriate information: must pay or aren’t required to pay] for COBRA continuation coverage.
When is COBRA continuation coverage available?
If you’re an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events: • Your hours of employment are reduced, or • Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct. • If you’re the spouse of an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events: • Your spouse dies; • Your spouse’s hours of employment are reduced; • Your spouse’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; • Your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part
The Plan will offer COBRA continuation coverage to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator has been notified that a qualifying event has occurred. The employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the following qualifying events: • The end of employment or reduction of hours of employment; • Death of the employee; • The employee’s becoming entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both). For all other qualifying events (divorce or legal separation of the employee and spouse or a dependent child’s losing eligibility for coverage as a dependent child), you must notify the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs. You must provide this notice to: Laura Floyd at Charlottesville City Schools. Applicable documentation will be required i.e. court order, certificate of coverage etc. How is COBRA continuation coverage provided? Once the Plan Administrator receives notice that a qualifying event has occurred, COBRA continuation coverage will be offered to each of the qualified beneficiaries. Each qualified beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA continuation coverage. Covered employees may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their children. COBRA continuation coverage is a temporary continuation of coverage that generally lasts for 18 months due to employment termination or reduction of hours of work. Certain qualifying events,

COBRA CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE or a second qualifying event during the initial period of coverage, may permit a beneficiary to receive a maximum of 36 months of coverage.
the COBRA election, COBRA coverage may not be discontinued on account of Medicare entitlement, even if you enroll in the other part of Medicare after the date of the election of COBRA coverage.
There are also ways in which this 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage can be extended:
If you are enrolled in both COBRA continuation coverage and Medicare, Medicare will generally pay first (primary payer) and COBRA continuation coverage will pay second. Certain plans may pay as if secondary to Medicare, even if you are not enrolled in Medicare.
Disability extension of 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage: If you or anyone in your family covered under the Plan is determined by Social Security to be disabled and you notify the Plan Administrator in a timely fashion, you and your entire family may be entitled to get up to an additional 11 months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 29 months. The disability would have to have started at some time before the 60th day of COBRA continuation coverage and must last at least until the end of the 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage. Second qualifying event extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage: If your family experiences another qualifying event during the 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 36 months, if the Plan is properly notified about the second qualifying event. This extension may be available to the spouse and any dependent children getting COBRA continuation coverage if the employee or former employee dies; becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); gets divorced or legally separated; or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child.
