package option with similar coverage, or drop coverage prospectively if there is no benefit package option with similar coverage. A cost increase or decrease refers to an increase or decrease in the amount of elective contributions under the Plan, whether resulting from an action taken by the Participants or an action taken by the Employer. If the coverage under a Benefit is significantly curtailed or ceases during a Plan Year, affected Participants may revoke their elections of such Benefit and, in lieu thereof, elect to receive on a prospective basis coverage under another plan with similar coverage, or drop coverage prospectively if no similar coverage is offered. If, during the period of coverage, a new benefit package option or other coverage option is added, an existing benefit package option is significantly improved, or an existing benefit package option or other coverage option is eliminated, then the affected Participants may elect the newly-added option, or elect another option if an option has been eliminated prospectively and make corresponding election changes with respect to other benefit package options providing similar coverage. In addition, those Eligible Employees who are not participating in the Plan may opt to become Participants and elect the new or newly improved benefit package option. A Participant may make a prospective election change to add group health coverage for the Participant, the Participant's spouse or dependent if such individual loses group health coverage sponsored by a governmental or educational institution, including a state children's health insurance program under the Social Security Act, the Indian Health Service or a health program offered by an Indian tribal government, a state health benefits risk pool, or a foreign government group health plan. A Participant may make a prospective election change that is on account of and corresponds with a change made under the plan of a spouse's, former spouse's or dependent's employer if (1) the cafeteria plan or other benefits plan of the spouse's, former spouse's or dependent's employer permits its participants to make a change; or (2) the cafeteria plan permits participants to make an election for a period of coverage that is different from the period of coverage under the cafeteria plan of a spouse's, former spouse's or dependent's employer. A Participant may make a prospective election change that is on account of and corresponds with a change by the Participant in the dependent care provider. The availability of dependent care services from a new childcare provider is similar to a new benefit package option becoming available. A cost change is allowable in the Dependent Care Assistance Program only if the cost change is imposed by a dependent care provider who is not related to the Participant, as defined in Code Section 152(a)(1) through (8). A Participant shall not be permitted to change an election to the Health Care Reimbursement Plan as a result of a cost or coverage change under this subsection. (f) A Participant may only increase his Benefit elections under the Health Care Reimbursement Fund in the event of a change in family status. 11
