OPEN ENROLLMENT
20 23 TUESDAY, OCT. 25—TUESDAY, NOV. 15
Welcome to the 2023 Benefits Open Enrollment. DFA is proud to continue to provide you and your family with a wide range of resources and services to support your physical, emotional and mental health needs in these challenging times. The last few years have been rough for everyone and we have worked hard to keep these important benefits a source of stability.
During these times we have been reminded of just how important our health is and that physical health is only one piece of our overall well-being. With this in mind, we are expanding our mental health services with a new Employee Assistance Program through CuraLinc called SupportLinc. These services are provided free of charge to you and your family. See page 17 for details.
We have also been reminded just how important each of you are to DFA’s success as an organization. We want you to know we sincerely appreciate you and we hope you will educate yourself on all of the benefits and resources offered to you as we look forward to the next year.
Your benefit elections become effective Jan. 1, 2023, and can be completed online, by mobile device or by telephone. Although we have included specific instructions in this guide on how to make your elections, you may also contact your local human resources representative with questions.
During open enrollment, you can review your benefit needs and adjust your coverage for the upcoming plan year without having a qualifying life event or family status change. You are allowed to add or drop coverage for yourself and/or your dependents. At any other time during the year, you must experience a family status change (marriage, divorce, birth or adoption, death of a dependent, change in your child’s dependent status, or change in your or your spouse’s employment status) in order to make these same changes. When you experience a family status change or life event, you have 31 days from the date of the event to make the desired changes to your benefits.

2023 OPEN ENROLLMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS AND ACTION ITEMS
This is a passive open enrollment, meaning that a majority (including medical, dental, vision and voluntary benefits) of your current elections will roll over for 2023 if you take no action.
Benefits that require you to make an election for 2023 are:
• HSA
• Healthcare FSA/Limited Purpose FSA/ Dependent Care FSA
Read this brochure in its entirety before making your 2023 benefit decisions.
DFA’s contribution to your Health Savings Account will be increasing to $750 for Employee Only and $1,500 for all other coverage tiers if you are enrolled in either the HDHP Enhanced or HDHP Basic plan with a HealthEquity HSA.
The Spousal Surcharge is increasing to $1,800 annually (which equals $150 per month). As a reminder, you will be charged this additional contribution if your spouse is employed and eligible for health insurance through his or her own employer and you wish to cover him or her under a DFA medical plan.
We are excited to announce the transition of our Employee Assistance Program to SupportLinc. See additional information on page 17.
To ensure that all covered dependents meet the eligibility requirements to participate in our benefit plans we will partner with Consova to complete a Dependent Eligibility Audit in early 2023. Be on the look out for more information! Open enrollment is your opportunity to remove dependents from the plan who are no longer eligible.
You have the opportunity to elect Voluntary Life Insurance up to the guaranteed issue amount for yourself or your spouse even if you previously declined coverage, or if you are currently enrolled, you may increase your or your spouse’s current election up the guaranteed issue amount without Evidence of Insurability! You may not have this opportunity again for a few more years. See page 15 for details.
Review your 401(k) and Life Insurance beneficiary designations to confirm the information is current. If you do not have a beneficiary listed, it is important that you add one.
Make sure to complete any required health coaching calls and/or tobacco cessation program by Nov. 30, 2022 in order to achieve the incentive. Be on the look-out for more information on the 2023 Happy. Healthy. Safe. program in the coming months!

BLUESELECT PLUS NETWORK
You have the option to choose to participate in the BlueSelect Plus network at a lower monthly premium. You may participate in this network with the PPO, HDHP Basic or HDHP Enhanced plan. BlueSelect Plus is a network of select health care providers specially designed to provide affordable access to quality care in and around the Kansas City metro area. Since this network is smaller than the Preferred Care Blue network, members will receive deeper discounts when receiving medical treatment. Use the following guidelines to better understand the BlueSelect Plus network and your coverage.
The network includes 4,100+ providers and 13 hospitals.1
The following Kansas City area counties are in-network. Missouri: Clinton, Clay, Jackson, Johnson and Platte. Kansas: Johnson and Wyandotte.
The surrounding Kansas City counties are out-of-network. When receiving care outside the BlueSelect Plus network, but within the 32-county Blue KC service area, your out-of-network coverage means higher out-of-pocket costs will apply.2
Missouri: Clay, Jackson, Platte, Cass, Clinton, DeKalb, Johnson, Lafayette, Ray, Caldwell Kansas: Johnson, Wyandotte
Outside the local 32-county Blue KC service area and across the nation (e.g., travel or vacation), the BlueCard network is in-network.

MEDICAL PLAN OPTIONS
For 2023, you will continue to be offered the choice of two High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs): the HDHP Enhanced and the HDHP Basic, in addition to the PPO plan. These plans have a higher deductible than the PPO plan as described in the summary below, but the HDHP plans give you lower premiums and allow you to contribute to a Health Savings Account. With these plan options, you pay the cost of all services until the deductible is met, with the exception of most preventive care services. This includes the cost of physician services, prescription drugs and all other medical services. Once you meet the applicable in-network or out-of-network deductible, you and the plan share in the cost of services, called coinsurance, until the applicable out-of-pocket maximum is met.
IMPORTANT
Enrollment in one of the HDHPs below allows you to open a Health Savings Account to save for future health care expenses as discussed in more detail on page 10, including details on the automatic one-time HSA contribution from DFA.

Pharmacy Plan Information
Your pharmacy administrator is CVS Caremark. Visit a pharmacy in the CVS National Network, which includes CVS retail pharmacies, Walgreens, Target, Walmart, Costco and more! Visit www.caremark.com for more information.
• DFA offers plan participants on the HDHP Basic or HDHP Enhanced plans the opportunity to have certain preventive drugs covered at 100%! If your medication falls on the CVS generic preventive drugs list, it will be covered at 100% if it is obtained through an in-network pharmacy.
• In addition to using mail order to fill maintenance medications, you can fill a 90-day maintenance medication at any retail CVS pharmacy. Maintenance medications are commonly used to treat conditions that are considered chronic or long term and usually require regular, daily use of medicines. Examples include those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and diabetes.
• If you request a brand when a generic is available, you may be required to pay the difference in the cost of the brand name vs. generic drug (in addition to the applicable coinsurance).
• Your specialty prescriptions will come from VIVIO Health. VIVIO may also help you manage your complex or chronic condition with one-on-one case management.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT
WHAT IS A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT?
A Health Savings Account (HSA) can help you manage your expenses today and in the future. It’s yours to:
• Own. The HSA is always yours, even if you change jobs, re-enroll in one of the traditional plans, become unemployed or retire.
• Grow. Your unused balance rolls over from year to year. No “use it or lose it.”
• Save. HSAs provide tax-free contributions, tax-free withdrawals for qualified health expenses and tax-free earnings from investment options.
• Choose. Use for current expenses, save for the future (money you save can be used for health expenses after you retire) or explore investment options.
HSA: ACCOUNT ELIGIBILITY
You must be covered by one of the Qualified High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP Basic or HDHP Enhanced). You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. It is the account holder’s responsibility to maintain compliance under these regulations. You cannot have any “other coverage” such as:
• A plan that is not an HSA-qualified HDHP.
• Spouse’s plan that is not a QHDHP (Traditional HMO or PPO).
• Medicare or Medicaid.
• TRICARE coverage (military health care).
• Health Care Flexible Spending Account.
• Not including a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account or a Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account.
• Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA).

2023 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION
Any employee enrolled in either the HDHP Enhanced or HDHP Basic plan in 2023 with a HealthEquity HSA will receive an automatic one-time HSA contribution from DFA.
If you elect EmployeeOnly coverage, you will receive $750.
If you elect Family coverage, you will receive $1,500.
This contribution is in addition to the wellness incentive you may be eligible to receive. Both employer contributions count toward the annual limits, so plan carefully how much you’ll contribute annually to avoid excess contributions.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS
Stretch your health care and dependent care dollars by using pretax dollars for qualified health care and/or dependent care costs by participating in the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program. Participation in the FSA program must be elected each year during open enrollment for the following calendar year. The health care and limited purpose health care FSA allow for up to $570 of your unused FSA balance to be carried in to the next FSA plan year.
Employees may maximize their pretax savings by using the Health Care FSA or Limited Purpose Health Care FSA and Dependent Care FSA. Pretax means the dollars used for eligible expenses are not subject to Social Security tax, federal income tax, and in most cases, state and local income tax. If you are not eligible to open or contribute to an HSA, you may participate in the Health Care FSA. Note, if you are eligible to contribute to the HSA, you may enroll in the Limited Purpose Health Care FSA and/or the Dependent Care FSA only.

LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS
IMPORTANT
In the event of your death, Life Insurance may provide your family members or other beneficiaries with financial protection and security. DFA provides full-time employees with a Basic Life Insurance benefit and an Accidental Death and Dismemberment benefit through New York Life Group Benefit Solutions.
In addition to your Basic Life Insurance benefit, full-time employees may also elect Supplemental Life Insurance in $10,000 increments from $10,000 to $500,000. Spouses are able to elect up to the lesser of $250,000 or 100% of the employee’s supplemental coverage in $5,000 increments. A $10,000 or $20,000 dependent child option is available (the benefit is $2,500 for dependents seven days to six months of age).
For 2023 only, even if you previously declined coverage, you will be able to elect up to $250,000 of coverage without an Evidence of Insurability form.
Employees who currently have between $10,000 and $240,000 of Supplemental Life Insurance may increase their coverage to $250,000 without proof of good health during this open enrollment.
Any spouse who wishes to elect supplemental coverage if they were previously declined or who has existing Life Insurance and wishes to increase coverage up to $50,000 will not be required to submit an Evidence of Insurability form.
Any amounts elected above the guaranteed issue amount will require Evidence of Insurability. If required, an Evidence of Insurability form will be mailed to you after the open enrollment period ends. Evidence of Insurability is not needed for the dependent child option.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT (AD&D) INSURANCE BENEFITS
AD&D insurance can help you pay expenses if you or an eligible family member are seriously injured or killed in a covered accident. In 2023 you may purchase additional AD&D insurance through New York Life Group Benefit Solutions:
• Yourself: AD&D coverage is available to a maximum of $500,000.
• Your Family: If you elect family coverage and no dependent children are covered, your spouse coverage amount will be 50% of your coverage amount. If one or more dependent children are insured, your spouse coverage amount will be 40% of your coverage amount. Each of your covered children’s benefit amount will be 10% of yours, subject to a maximum benefit of $20,000.

VOLUNTARY BENEFITS
DFA has partnered with Aflac to offer employees an opportunity to choose benefits that suit their personal circumstances and lifestyle by purchasing additional financial protection through these voluntary benefit offerings: Critical Illness insurance, Hospital Indemnity insurance and Accident insurance. In 2023, DFA is also partnering with Allstate Identity Protection and MetLife Legal to make sure you are able to protect your identity and be prepared for any unexpected legal matters. You are not required to be enrolled in any other company benefits to elect these coverages.
ACCIDENT INSURANCE
AFLAC | Voluntary Accident insurance provides a range of fixed, lump-sum benefits for injuries resulting from a covered accident or for accidental death and dismemberment. These benefits are paid directly to the insured and may be used for any reason, from deductibles and prescriptions to transportation and child care. Two plans are being offered, a low plan and a high plan.
CRITICAL ILLNESS INSURANCE
AFLAC | Voluntary Critical Illness insurance provides a fixed, lump-sum benefit upon diagnosis of a critical illness, which can include heart attack, stroke, paralysis and more. These benefits are paid directly to the insured and may be used for any reason, from deductibles and prescriptions to transportation and child care. This coverage also includes a $50 annual wellness (health screening) benefit. Visit www.aflacgroupinsurance.com to learn more.
HOSPITAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE
AFLAC | Voluntary Hospital Indemnity insurance provides a range of fixed, lump-sum daily benefits to help cover costs associated with a hospital admission, including room and board costs. These benefits are paid directly to the insured following a hospitalization that meets the criteria for benefit payment.
IDENTITY THEFT
ALLSTATE IDENTITY PROTECTION | Your identity is made up of more than your Social Security number and credit score. That’s why Allstate Identity Protection does more than monitor your credit reports. They help you look after your online activity, from financial transactions to what you share on social media so you can protect the trail of data you leave behind.
LEGAL PLAN
METLIFE | Legal matters, both planned and unplanned, are part of life. Enrolling in the MetLife Legal Plan gives you the financial and emotional peace of mind to know you will be covered for many expected and unexpected legal events.
The MetLife Legal Plan provides you, your spouse and dependents with fully covered legal services from attorneys experienced in estate planning documents, civil suits, adoption, identity theft issues and much more.
