<br />the lesser of: (a) $5,000 (if you are married filing a joint return or you are head of a household) <br />or $2,500 (if you are married filing separate returns); (b) your taxable compensation; (c) your <br />spouSe's actual or deemed earned income (a spouse who is a full time student or incapable of <br />caring for himself/herself has a monthly earned income of $250 for one dependent or $500 for <br />two or more dependents). Also, in order to have the reimbursements made to you from this <br />account be excludable from your income, you must provide a statement from the service <br />provider including the name, address, and in most cases, the taxpayer identification number of <br />the service provider on your tax form for the year, as well as the amount of such expense as <br />proof that the expense has been incurred. In addition, Federal tax laws permit a tax credit for <br />certain dependent care expenses you may be paying for even if you are not a Participant in this <br />Plan. You may save more money if you take advantage of this tax credit rather than using the <br />Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account under our Plan. Ask your tax adviser which is better <br />for you. <br /> <br />Premium Expense Account: <br /> <br />A Premium Expense Account allows you to use tax-free dollars to pay for certain <br />premi~m expenses under various insurance programs that we offer you. These premium <br />expenses include: <br /> <br />-- Health care premiums under our self-funded medical plan. <br /> <br />-- Health care premiums under privately held insurance policies. <br /> <br />Under our Plan, we will establish sub-accounts for you for each different type of <br />coverage that is available. Also, certain limits on the amount of coverage may apply. <br /> <br />The Administrator may terminate or modify Plan benefits at any time, subject to the <br />provisions of any contracts providing benefits described above. Also, your coverage will end <br />when you leave employment, are no longer eligible under the terms of any coverage, or when <br />coverage terminates. <br /> <br />Any benefits to be provided by insurance will be provided only after (1) you have <br />provided the Administrator the necessary information to apply for insurance, and (2) the <br />insurance is in effect for you. <br /> <br />"Privately held insurance policies" do not include coverage obtained through a spouse's <br />employment. Cost of these policies will only be reimbursed on adequate proof of coverage. <br /> <br />V <br />BENEFIT PAYMENTS <br /> <br />1. When willi receive payments from my accounts? <br /> <br />During the course of the Plan Year, you may submit requests for reimbursement of <br />expenses you have incurred. Expenses are considered "incurred" when the service is <br />performed, not necessarily when it is paid for. The Administrator will provide you with <br />acceptable forms for submitting these requests for reimbursement. If the request qualifies as a <br />benefit or expense that the Plan has agreed to pay, you will receive a reimbursement payment <br />soon thereafter. Remember, these reimbursements which are made from the Plan are generally <br />not subject to federal income tax or withholding. Nor are they subject to Social Security taxes. <br />The provisions of the insurance contracts will control what benefits will be paid and when. You <br /> <br />6 <br />
