IMPORTANT NOTICES When do my supplemental benefits start? The plan year for Colonial Life Insurance Products and CHUBB Long Term Care runs from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027. When do my supplemental deductions start? Deductions for Colonial Life Insurance Products and CHUBB Long Term Care start January 2027 for all enrolled employees. The Nationwide Pet Insurance plan is available by Direct Billing only. No deductions will be taken via payroll deduction. Why have my Cancer, Accident, or Medical Bridge benefits not started yet? The Colonial Cancer plan and the Health Screening Rider on the Colonial Accident and Colonial Medical Bridge plan have a 30-day waiting period for new enrollees. Coverage, therefore, will not begin until January 31, 2027. I want to sign my family up for supplemental 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 supplemental 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 (QLE), as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Examples of a QLE can be found in the chart on the next page. Once a QLE has occurred, an employee has 30 days to notify PGB’s Employee Services at 1-833-556-0006 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.

Let LifeTime Benefit Term be Your Champion As Life Insurance LifeTime Benefit Term protects families with money that can be used any way they need. Often it is used to pay for mortgage or rent, education for children and grandchildren, family debt and final expenses. For Long Term Care Long Term Care is expensive, and LifeTime Benefit Term can help. It pays death benefits in advance for home health care, assisted living, adult day care and nursing home and waives life insurance premiums. And with Extension of Long Term Care, benefits can last for more than 6 years, in essence, tripling the policy value Additional Benefits Long Term Care Acceleration* When employees need LTC, death benefits can be paid early for home health care, assisted living, adult day care and nursing home care. Early payments equal 4% of the death benefit per month for up to 25 months. Premiums are waived while this benefit is being paid. Long Term Care Extension* Once the full death benefit has been paid in advance for LTC, payments can be extended. Choose between 25 and 50 months of LTC Benefit Extension to double or triple the value. Restoration of Death Benefit Accelerating the life coverage for LTC benefits can reduce the death benefit to $0. This rider restores the life coverage to either 25% or 50% of the death benefit on which the LTC benefits were based, therefore assuring a death benefit available up to the insured’s age 121.
Optional Benefits Guaranteed Premiums Life insurance premiums will never increase and are guaranteed through age 100.
Waiver of Premium Benefit & Payor Waiver of Premium Benefit Waives premium if employee becomes totally disabled.
Paid-up Benefits After 10 years, paid-up benefits begin to accrue. At any point thereafter, if premiums stop, a reduced paid up benefit is guaranteed. Flexibility is perfect for retirement.

* Whole Life Plus is a marketing name of the insurance policy filed as “Whole Life Insurance” in most states. 1 Any payout would reduce the death benefit. Benefits may be taxable as income. Individuals should consult with their legal or tax counsel when deciding to apply for accelerated benefits. 2 Accessing the accumulated cash value reduces the death benefit by the amount accessed, unless the loan is repaid. Cash value will be reduced by any outstanding loans against the policy. This life insurance does not specifically cover funeral goods or services and may not cover the entire cost of your funeral at the time of your death. The beneficiary of this life insurance may use the proceeds for any purpose, unless otherwise directed.
To learn more, talk with your benefits counselor.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS: 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, minus any loans and loan interest to you. This information is not intended to be a complete description of the insurance coverage available. The policy or its provisions may vary or be unavailable in some states. The policy has exclusions and limitations which may affect any benefits payable.
