Eligibility for plan enrollmentEmployee eligibilityEligibility requirements are defined in your policy under 9070 – Conditions for Insurance Coverage. The eligibility period, also known as the new hire waiting period, begins when the member meets the policy’s requirements; for example, working at least 30 hours per week. When the eligibility period is satisfied, the member’s coverage becomes effective.

Dependent eligibilityThe member’s eligible dependents include:

• member’s spouse (or domestic partner if this coverage is elected)• each child under the age defined in your policy (see 9060 – Definitions) who is the member’s or member’s spouse’s legal

responsibility, including:– natural born children– adopted children, eligible from the date of placement for adoption– children covered under a Qualified Medical Child Support Order as defined by applicable federal and state laws

• each child who is:– a full-time student at an accredited school or college; and– primarily dependent on the member or member’s spouse for support and maintenance

A divorced spouse is not eligible, but a spouse who is separated from the member is eligible.

Over-age child dependentsPlease notify us when child dependents reach the age when they no longer can be considered a dependent. Otherwise, we will not know until a claim is submitted and the claim unfortunately is denied. To avoid this, you can run an over-age dependent report and update dependent coverage as necessary using your online services. In your policy, please review 9060 – Definitions to determine the dependent age limitation for a child and/or full-time student.

Enroll plan members, dependentsTo add/update/drop member or dependent coverage using your activated online services, visit reliancestandard.com/dental-vision, Account Access, Dental/Vision, Benefits Administrator. Then sign in to your online portal.

If you have not yet activated your benefits administrator portal and online services, please have the employee fill out an Reliance Standard enrollment/change/waiver form available in this guide or at reliancestandard.com/dental-vision, Forms. We’ll keep the original enrollment form, so if you need a copy for your records, please make one before submitting it.

Mail, fax or email enrollment forms to:Reliance Standard Life Insurance CompanyP.O. Box 82510Lincoln, NE 68501-2510Fax: 402-467-7338Email: [email protected]

Incomplete information or missing signatures may delay enrollment. In addition, the employee needs to elect coverage within 31 days of becoming eligible to avoid possible late entrant limitations. Please see 9060 – Definitions in your policy to determine if late entrant provisions apply.

The member’s ID card and/or certificate of coverage will be available after the member is enrolled. Once the member’s first claim is submitted and paid, members can opt to go paperless and receive their Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements online. All they need to do is create their secure member account at reliancestandard.com/dental-vision, Account Access, Dental/Vision, Member, Secure Member Account.

Same employer spouse provisionThis applies to a married couple who are both employed by your company and have eligible dependent children. It allows for one spouse to carry the employee coverage and the other spouse to be covered as a dependent along with the children. See 9070 – Conditions for Insurance Coverage in your policy to determine if this is included in your plan.

Total disabilityThis describes a dependent who is continuously incapable of self-sustaining employment because of mental or physical handicap and chiefly dependent upon the member for support and maintenance.

Dependent exceptionsWe may make exceptions for dependents who are not natural born, adopted or stepchildren of the member, but who do meet the dependent age requirement in your policy under 9060 – Definitions. Exceptions may include when the:

• member has legal guardianship of the dependent• dependent is covered by the member’s medical carrier • member legally claims the dependent at tax time

For dependents, note the following on the form:

• reason for the change• date the dependent qualified for coverage• and/or date the dependent coverage should end

Page 7: Administration Guide for Reliance Standard Policyholders

Effective datesThe effective date for members and their covered dependents is based on the following. The eligibility period also is known as the new hire waiting period. Please note, some policies do not allow employees to waive coverage for themselves or their dependents.

If the enrollment form is signed The member’s effective date is*

on or before the eligibility period is satisfied the date the eligibility period is satisfied

within 31 days after the eligibility period is satisfied the date the enrollment form is signed

over 31 days after the eligibility period is satisfied the date the enrollment form is signed**

*Some policies are written with first-of-the-month effective dates. Coverage for these policies becomes effective on the first of the month following the date the member becomes eligible.

**Check your policy to see if late entrant limitations apply.

ExceptionsIf employment is the basis for plan participation, an employee needs to be in active service on the date the insurance, or any increase in insurance, takes effect. Otherwise, the insurance will not take effect until the day the employee returns to full-time active service.

Reinstatement or rehiresIf employment is the basis for plan participation, a member whose eligibility terminates and is re-established may need to complete a new eligibility period. However, if the person is rehired within 12 months from the original termination date, there’s no waiting period. On the enrollment/change form, include the date of rehire after the Rehire check box.

Sample of a 90-day eligibility period

Drop plan members, dependentsTo add/update/drop member or dependent coverage using your activated online services, visit reliancestandard.com/dental-vision, Account Access, Dental/Vision, Benefits Administrator. Then sign in to your online portal.

Outside of your benefits administrator portal, you can:

• list terminated members on page 1 of the premium statement, and note the last day worked• draw a line under the member’s name on the itemized listing, and note the last day worked• call our administration and billing department toll free at 800-497-7044• complete an enrollment form, note the last day worked, and mail or fax it to Reliance Standard Customer Service

Please note that coverage ends on the date the member ceases to be an eligible member, unless your group policy contains an end-of-month provision. The member’s termination date excludes accrued vacation time or similar benefits. There’s no refund when termination occurs in the middle of a policy month, so the premium should be paid for the full month.

Be sure to report member terminations as quickly as possible. Without current member eligibility information, we may inadvertently pay claims for expenses incurred after the member or dependent’s termination date. If this happens, we may require additional premium from your company to cover it. Please refer to your policy under 9050 – Simplified Accounting for more information.

Some members may be eligible for a continuation of coverage through COBRA. Or, you can offer them our individual dental or vision plans. Please see the information in this guide.

Page 8: Administration Guide for Reliance Standard Policyholders

Policy changesPolicy changes you may need to make include:

• company name change• eligibility period change• number of weekly work hours members need to qualify for coverage• adding additional Reliance Standard benefits, such as dental or vision

To make policy changes, please inform your Reliance Standard representative or your benefits broker, and send us a letter outlining your request. Some updates may require additional underwriting and impact your rates.

In your letter:

• outline your desired plan change• include your requested effective date• submit it in writing on your company letterhead • make sure the letter is signed by a person authorized to represent your company• mail, fax or email your letter to Reliance Standard Group Administration

Section 125 PlansDetails about Section 125 requirements can be found under IRS 26 U.S. Code § 125 and supporting treasury regulations. Please consult your tax advisor for more information and advice regarding “cafeteria plans.”

Section 125 of the IRS code allows employees to purchase benefits on a pre-tax basis. These plans are sometimes referred to as cafeteria plans. The premium usually is paid by the employee, although the employer may contribute to the premium. Section 125 plans have an annual election period each year for employees to elect the benefits they want for the coming plan year.

Eligibility for plan enrollmentSection 125 plan enrollment or termination is allowed only:

• when a new hire’s eligibility period is satisfied• during the annual election period• when a member experiences a life event such as marriage, divorce, death, birth or adoption, termination of employment

Please note, the annual election period is not an open enrollment. Applicable late entrant penalties would apply based on your policy. The plan year is any 12-month period selected by the employer. Calendar year is the most common.

Family status changeQualifying life events allow an employee to make mid-plan-year changes outside of the annual election period. Examples include marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a spouse or child, and spouse’s termination of employment.

Annual election periodIf an employee does not elect to participate when initially eligible, the employee may elect to participate at the next annual election period. A member also may elect to cancel coverage or reinstate coverage that was canceled during a previous election period. Applicable late entrant limitations would apply to members or dependents who previously waived or canceled coverage. The election period selected is in your policy under 9070 – Conditions for Insurance.

Late entrant provisionA late entrant is an employee or dependent who does not enroll within 31 days of becoming eligible or who reinstates coverage after canceling. The benefits available would be limited for the amount of time outlined in your policy under 9219 – Limitations. In addition, the premium must be paid during this period and cannot be paid in one lump sum. Check your policy to verify if late entrant limitations apply.

Elect/change/drop members, dependentsWith Section 125 plans, employees and their dependents who do not elect coverage within 31 days of becoming eligible cannot enroll until the next annual election period and may be subject to late entrant limitations. Please review the 9219 – Limitations, and 9060 – Definitions, in your policy to determine if late entrant limitations apply.

Members can elect/change/drop coverage ONLY:

• within 31 days of the date the employee first becomes eligible, loses eligibility elsewhere, or experiences a qualifying life event • during the annual election period

If the member drops coverage for reasons other than termination of employment, the change needs to be reported.

Monthly plan paymentsPremium payments are due by the first day of the coverage period. If you do not receive your billing statement by the first of the current month, please contact us at 800-497-7044.

Late payments received after the last day of the billing cycle may result in termination of coverage and claims processing for your members. Please refer to 9050 – Premiums, and 9323 – Grace Period, in your policy.

Pay by checkPlease include the first page of your billing statement along with a check payable to Reliance Standard Life Insurance Corp. If you made enrollment adjustments, please show how you calculated your payment.

Premium calculationThe amount due appears on the first page of your billing statement and is determined as follows.

+/– Credit or balance forward

– Payment received

+ Current month’s premium due for active members

+/– Retroactive credit and/or debit adjustments reflecting enrollment updates

Member termination adjustmentsPlease note, your premium will not be prorated for members who terminate between premium due dates. However, for retroactive terminations, from the date you notify us, you may qualify for a refund of unearned premium credit from the most current statement.

Page 10: Administration Guide for Reliance Standard Policyholders

COBRA continuation of group benefitsTHIS INFORMATION REGARDING CONTINUATION AND COBRA IS PROVIDED FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING WHETHER YOUR HEALTH PLAN IS SUBJECT TO COBRA CONTINUATION REQUIREMENTS, OR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS CONCERNING COBRA, SEEK THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL. In circumstances where a member may elect COBRA, please submit the member’s last day worked in the same manner as all other terminations. Once the member has elected COBRA, follow the steps below to reinstate the member retroactive to their termination date.

COBRA enrollmentTo enroll a former member or covered dependent for continuation coverage under COBRA, please notify us by filling out an enrollment/change/waiver form and filling in the COBRA box near the top of the form. People choosing COBRA continuation have 60 days to elect the coverage.

When a member elects COBRA continuation of group benefits, you can reinstate that member retroactively to their termination date. Any claims that were denied during the termination period can be reconsidered as long as the provider or member calls us at 800-497-7044 and lets us know which claims require reconsideration.

COBRA coverage will end:

• at the end of 18 months for employee members*• at the end of 36 months for dependents, unless otherwise noted

Example: A terminated employee is eligible for a maximum of 18 months of COBRA coverage. A dependent spouse who loses coverage due to divorce can elect up to 36 months of coverage.

In addition, you must notify us if the person:

• has coverage for 18 months; notify us at the end of 18 months for an employee*• has dependents; notify us at the end of 36 months for dependents (except as noted above)• does not pay the premium• becomes eligible for Medicare benefits• remarries and becomes covered under another plan• terminates COBRA coverage; then submit the termination in writing to discontinue COBRA coverage; please note that

people who terminate COBRA coverage may not be reinstated

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, or COBRA, became law on July 1, 1986. In general, the law requires a policyholder who employs 20 or more people to provide continuation of health care benefits to employees who lose their coverage due to a qualifying event. This includes being laid off, terminated, retired or fired for reasons other than gross misconduct. The law also allows continuation of benefits for dependents who lose coverage due to death of the member or divorce. Some states have insurance continuation legislation. These state laws, if applicable, would run concurrently with COBRA.

COBRA members can add/update/drop dependent coverage, but the coverage is limited to the continuation period. COBRA members are responsible for paying their premiums, and it’s important to know that we cannot accept personal checks from the member. The amount charged is based on the same rates charged for active/retired employees and their dependents. You may add 2 percent of the premium to the rate charged and retain that 2 percent fee to cover your administrative expenses. You would be responsible for collecting the member’s COBRA premium and including it with your regular premium payment.

* An employee who is disabled according to Social Security rules may be eligible for up to an additional 11 months.

Claims, member accountHelp your employees submit claims, and promote our secure member account portal where they can access all of their plan information. Members can create an account at reliancestandard.com/dental-vision, Secure Member Account.

Dental claimsTypically the dental provider will submit the member’s claim. If the member submits the dental claim form and wants payment made directly to the dental provider, the member can sign the authorization on the form. For a pre-treatment estimate of what the plan will pay, the dental provider can select the pre-treatment estimate checkbox on the dental claim form and submit it before the dental work begins.

Vision claimsYou may have an Reliance Standard vision plan with VSP or EyeMed network provider coverage. Or a no-network vision plan. VSP or EyeMed network providers typically submit the member’s claim. However, if the member goes outside of the VSP or EyeMed network, there is an out-of-network claim form to complete. With our Basic Vision no-network vision plans, members will need to submit an Reliance Standard vision claim form and include the provider’s itemized bill for reimbursement up to the plan benefit.

Secure member accountMembers may create their secure member account at reliancestandard.com/dental-vision, Secure Member Account. Members have access to their:

• ID cards• savings cards for prescriptions and eyewear,

if applicable• benefits summary and certificate of coverage

• claims status and remaining benefits• Explanation of Benefits (EOB) – They can elect to

go paperless • Dental Cost Estimator (dental plans)
