OPEN ENROLLMENT
20 23 TUESDAY, OCT. 25—TUESDAY, NOV. 15 Please review this booklet carefully — your current elections will not roll over. Action is required to ensure you continue to receive coverage in 2023!
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 an active open enrollment, meaning that your current elections will not roll over for 2023. There will be no coverage if you do not enroll.
Read this brochure in its entirety before making your 2023 benefit decisions.
During this open enrollment you will complete your enrollment through the ADP self-service portal or the ADP Mobile Solutions app or by calling the DFA Benefit Solution Center by Nov. 15, 2022. Your current elections will not be loaded in to ADP so if you would like to check what you are enrolled in today, you will need to review the flyer that was mailed to your home or log in to or call LifeWorks and view your current elections. See page 20 for more details.
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.
Watch your mail for information on the 2023 Happy. Healthy. Safe. program requirements in the coming months.
We are excited to announce the transition of our Employee Assistance Program to SupportLinc. See additional information on page 17.
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.

The health care FSA allows for up to $570 of your unused FSA balance to be carried in to the next FSA plan year.

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.

Details about each of these benefits can be found in the ADP Document Library which can be accessed at MyADP through the mobile app, or online.
