How do I become a Participant. If you have otherwise satisfied the Eligibility requirements, you become a Participant in the Plan by electing Health Care Reimbursement benefits and/or Dependent Care Reimbursement benefits during the Initial or Annual Election Periods described in Part 2, the Cafeteria Plan Summary. If you have made an election to participate and you want to participate during the next Plan Year, you must make an election during the Annual Election Period, even if you do not change your current election. You may also become a participant if you experience a change in status event that permits you to enroll mid-year (see Q-8. of Part 2, Cafeteria Plan Summary, for more details regarding mid- year election changes and the effective date of those changes). Once you become a Participant, your "Eligible Dependents" also become covered. For purposes of the Health FSA, Eligible Dependents are the following: (i) Your legal Spouse (as determined by state law to the extent consistent with the federal Defense of Marriage Act) and (ii) any other individuals who would qualify as a tax Dependent under Code Section 105(b). If the Plan Administrator receives a qualified medical child support order (QMCSO) relating to the Health FSA, the Health FSA will provide the health benefit coverage specified in the order to the person or persons ("alternate recipients") named in the order to the extent the QMCSO does not require coverage the Health FSA does not otherwise provide. "Alternate recipients" include any child of the participant who the Plan is required to cover pursuant to a QMCSO. A "medical child support order" is a legal judgment, decree, or order relating to medical child support. A medical child support order is a QMCSO to the extent it satisfies certain conditions required by law. Before providing any coverage to an alternate recipient, the Plan Administrator must determine whether the medical child support order is a QMCSO. If the Plan Administrator receives a medical child support order relating to your Health Care Account, it will notify you in writing, and after receiving the order, it will inform you of its determination of whether or not the order is qualified. Upon request to the Plan Administrator, you may obtain, without charge, a copy of the Plan’s procedures governing qualified medical child support orders.
