16. How is My Participation in the Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan Affected? <br />You can elect to continue your participation in the Medical Expense Reimbursement <br />Plan for the remainder of the Plan Year, subject to the following conditions. You may only <br />continue to participate in the Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan if you have contributed <br />more money than you have taken out in claims. For example, if you elected to contribute an <br />annual amount of $500 and, at the time you terminate employment, you have contributed $300 <br />but only claimed $150, you may elect to continue coverage under the Medical Expense <br />Reimbursement Plan. If you elect to continue coverage, then you would be able to continue to <br />receive your health care reimbursements up to the $500. However, you must continue to pay for <br />the coverage, just as the money has been taken out of your paycheck, but on an after-tax basis. <br />The Plan can also charge youan extra amount (as explained above for other health benefits) to <br />provide this benefit. <br />IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS <br />If you have questions about your COBRA continuation coverage, you should contact the <br />Plan Administrator or its designee or you may contact the nearest Regional or District Office of <br />the U.S. Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA). Addresses <br />and phone numbers of Regional and District EBSA Offices are available through EBSA's <br />website at www.dol.gov/ebsa. <br />KEEP YOUR PLAN ADMINISTRATOR INFORMED OF ADDRESS CHANGES <br />In order to protect your family's rights, you must keep the Plan Administrator informed of <br />any changes in the addresses of family members. You should also keep a copy, for your <br />records, of any notices you send to the Plan Administrator or its designee. <br />9 <br />
