program’s provisions and benefits can be found in the Summary Plan Description, Plan documents and underlying

Mutual of Omaha Benefits
Benefit Options
As part of Mutual of Omaha’s total compensation package, we offer employees a variety of benefit options.
Review the information in this Benefits Guide to help you make the most of your benefit options and to
prepare you to make your benefit choices. You may use HR@Home through the Internet to find benefit
information when you are at home, if needed. The Web site is referenced on the last page of this Benefits
Guide.
Level of Coverage Options
Your level of coverage is based on the following categories:
Employee Only (You are the only person covered)
Employee + One (You and one eligible dependent is covered)
Employee + Family (You and two or more eligible dependents are covered)
NOTE: If you are enrolling a spouse in any of your coverages, you must provide Corporate Benefits and
Services Department a copy of your certified marriage license, in order to have your spouse covered on your
benefit effective date. A copy of your certified marriage license can be faxed to (402) 351-6192.
Eligibility for Benefits
Eligible Dependents
For all applicable benefit plans, eligible dependents include:
Your spouse
Your same sex domestic partner
Your child up to age 26, unless the Child meets the requirements as an Incapacitated Child
Please see the Definition Section of this Benefits Guide for the definition of Child, Foster Child, Same Sex
Domestic Partner and Spouse.
If you have a parent who works at Mutual, you cannot be enrolled as a dependent under their health, dental
and/or vision coverage. You must be enrolled as an employee. If both you and your spouse work for Mutual
of Omaha, you may each enroll separately in a health, dental and/or vision plan. Or, one of you may elect
coverage in which the other is enrolled as a dependent. The employee who elects coverage is the primary
covered person.

Mutual of Omaha Benefits
An Opportunity to Change Your Benefit Elections During the Year
Life Event
IRS regulations determine when you can make changes to your benefit elections depending on changes in
your status. Following are some examples of what may qualify:
You become married or divorced
You acquire an eligible dependent
Your spouse loses health coverage under an employer’s group plan because of a change in your spouse’s
job status or because the spouse’s employer terminates its group plan
Your dependent loses his or her eligibility under this Plan or another employer’s group plan
Your spouse or dependent obtains coverage under an employer’s group plan because of a change in his
or her job status or because his or her employer begins offering a group plan
Your spouse makes a change during his or her employer’s annual enrollment, with an effective date other
than January 1.
In most situations, you may only add or delete dependents from your current coverage as the result of a Life
Event change in status with the proper documentation, if required. Changes to your plan options must be
consistent with the Life Event. If you increase the payroll deduction amount for Your Health Care Flexible
Spending Account with an eligible Life Event, the increased dollar amount must be used for expenses
incurred after the Life Event for services to be consistent with the Life Event. See the Definitions Section of
this Benefits Guide for examples of Life Event changes.
To make a change in coverage due to a Life Event change in status, you must report the change in status to
Corporate Benefits and Services Department within 31 days of the event. If you do not contact the Corporate
Benefits and Service Department within 31 days of the Life Event and you are electing to add a dependent,
you will need to wait until the next annual enrollment. If you are removing a dependent and did not contact
the Corporate Benefits Service Department, you will be required to pay the premium for that dependent for
the remainder of the Benefit Year, but the dependent will be removed from your coverages, if ineligible.
Contact the Corporate Benefits and Services Department by calling the HR Hotline at 402-351-3300 or toll
free 1-800-365-1405 and select “1” for Benefits. You may also e-mail the Benefits Hotline for any questions
you have regarding qualified Life Event changes.

Health Options and Coverage Details
Waive Health Coverage
Waive health coverage means that you are electing not to have health coverage through Mutual of Omaha as
your employer. If you waive coverage, you should have health coverage through another plan. For instance,
you may prefer to be covered under a spouse’s health plan. Compare your options, look at physicians in the
network, premiums or differences in coverage in order to find the best option for you and your family.
When deciding whether to be covered by two plans, look at whether the benefit of double coverage is worth
the cost. With Coordination of Benefits plan provisions, one plan will pay its full benefits first, then the
other plan may only pay the amount it would have paid had it been the primary plan.
You will have the option to change your waive election every year at annual enrollment or if you experience
a Life Event, as long as the benefit change requested is consistent with the Life Event.
Health
PPO through Coventry Health Care
The health plan allows you complete freedom to go to any Preferred Provider Option (PPO) (in-network)
and/or Non PPO (out-of-network) health care provider. This includes direct access to specialists without
prior approval from the plan. When using in-network providers, you reduce the cost of health care expenses
because the plan pays a larger percentage of the expenses and deductibles are lower. On the other hand, if
you choose out-of-network providers, you will have higher out of pocket costs because the plan pays a lower
percentage of expenses, the deductibles are higher and coinsurance percentages are higher. How to locate a
preferred in-network provider is referenced on the last page of this Benefits Guide.
Grandfathered Health Plan
Mutual of Omaha Group believes that the Mutual of Omaha Group Health Plan is a “grandfathered health
plan” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”). As permitted by
the Affordable Care Act, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was
already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that this Plan may not
include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to other plans, for example, the
requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing. However,
grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act,
for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits.
Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health
plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to the
Benefits Hotline at 402-351-3300 and select “1” for Benefits. You may also contact the Employee Benefits
Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at 1-866-444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa/healthreform.
This website has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to grandfathered health plans.

Prescription Benefits, continued
Utilize formulary prescription drugs to keep your prescription drug costs down for you and your eligible
dependents. A formulary is a preferred list of drugs. If your prescription is on the formulary you will pay a
lower copayment. If your prescription is not on the formulary you still have coverage but you will pay a
higher copayment. To view the formulary list or search for an in-network pharmacy, reference the Web site
on the last page of this Benefits Guide. You may want to print out the formulary list and bring a copy with
you when you visit your doctor.
Specialty Pharmacy Drugs are most often an injectable medication for chronic diseases. When you receive a
prescription for a specialty drug, you will pay a $120 copayment for a 30-day supply after the calendar year
prescription deductible has been met. For more detailed information on Specialty Pharmacy Drugs, please
see your Employee Benefits Handbook.
Dental Options and Coverage Details
Waive Dental Coverage
Waive dental coverage means that you are electing not to have dental coverage through the Mutual of Omaha
Dental Plan. Perhaps you prefer to be covered under a spouse’s dental plan. Compare your options, look at
dentists in the network, premiums or differences in coverage in order to find the best option for you and your
family.
When deciding whether to be covered by two plans, look at whether the benefit of double coverage is worth
the cost. With Coordination of Benefits plan provisions, one plan will pay its full benefits first, then the
other plan may only pay the amount it would have paid had it been the primary plan.
You will have the option to change your waive election every year at annual enrollment or if you experience
a Life Event, as long as the benefit change requested is consistent with the Life Event.
Dental
Mutual of Omaha Dental balances savings, service and customer satisfaction by providing easy access to the
DenteMax network. The DenteMax network is available nationwide. When using DenteMax network
providers, you reduce the cost of dental care expenses because the plan pays a larger percentage of the
expenses and deductibles are lower. If you choose out-of-network providers, you will have higher out of
pocket costs because the plan pays a lower percentage of expenses, the deductibles are higher and
coinsurance percentages are higher. To view the DenteMax network provider directory, reference the Web
site on the last page of this Benefits Guide.
All benefits are subject to your calendar year deductible. Our dental covers preventive, basic services, major
services and orthodontics. Two dental cleanings are covered per calendar year for each covered person,
unless You or Your eligible dependents are pregnant, have diabetes or heart disease, then four dental
cleanings are covered per calendar year for each covered person.

Health Care Flexible Spending Account
Advantages of a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
The Health Care FSA allows you to set aside before-tax dollars to pay eligible health, prescription drug,
dental, and vision expenses that other benefit plans don’t cover. Mutual of Omaha does not cover over the
counter expenses, even if prescribed by a physician, which includes prescribed marijuana. The Health Care
FSA reduces your taxable income because your contributions are deposited in the FSA on a pre-tax basis. On
a pre-tax basis means that your contribution is deducted from your paycheck before taxes are withheld. Your
FSA can help you pay for expenses that are predictable. For example, if your income was $30,000 and your
out-of-pocket expenses totaled $540 and you had $45 a month deducted from your paycheck before taxes,
you could save $122 in taxes over the course of the year, because your taxable income would be reduced.

Maximum - $2,500 per year

Setting Up Your Health Care Flexible Spending Account
Estimate how much money you will need to cover your eligible expenses for the period from your benefit
effective date to the end of the year to determine your annual contribution amount. Each year during annual
enrollment period, as required by law, you will have the opportunity to re-enroll in the Health Care Flexible
Spending Account. When you incur an eligible expense, you pay the expense, then you get reimbursed.
Important Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Requirements
Money contributed to Flexible Spending Accounts must be used for eligible expenses incurred during
the year that it is taken from your pay or it will be forfeited.
Eligible expenses must be incurred after the date your plan participation begins.
Money cannot be transferred between the Health Care Flexible Spending Account and the Dependent
Care Flexible Spending Account.
The amount paid out will be equal to the annual pledge anytime during the calendar year.
If you or your dependents are enrolled in a health savings account, participation in the Health Care FSA
could jeopardize the ability for you or your dependents to make contributions to the health savings
account. Please contact your tax advisor for additional information.
Reimbursement Methods
To be reimbursed for you and your dependents’ incurred expenses for health care, you have two methods to
submit your expenses:
Online
Paper
Online Expense Reimbursement
Eligible health, dental, prescription drug and vision expenses are submitted through Employee Self Service
to the claim system, if you have elected one of our health, dental and/or vision plans. You will receive an email notifying you when these expenses are available for online submission for reimbursement. The e-mail
will provide you with a link to view your account online.
Paper Expense Reimbursement
Eligible expenses that are not processed through our Employee Group Insurance Plan must be submitted on a
paper claim form. These expenses include:

Reimbursement Methods, continued
Vision, if not covered under VSP
Lasik surgery
Routine hearing exams and hearing aids
Covered out-of-pocket health, dental, vision and prescription drug expenses incurred while
you or your eligible dependents were covered under another health, dental or vision plan.
Paper claim forms are submitted to the Payroll Department for reimbursement. To print a copy of the paper
Health Care FSA Claim Form, reference the link on the last page of this Benefits Guide.
Submitting the Claim
Claim forms can be submitted weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or how often you wish. You can be reimbursed
each week for eligible expenses from your Flexible Spending Account that you have submitted during the
week. Reimbursement requests received by Monday at noon will be processed the same week. If Monday is
a holiday, the reimbursement request must be received by 4:30 p.m., on the previous Friday. Reimbursement
payments will be directly deposited into your existing payroll deposit account on Fridays after the claim has
been processed.
After December 31, 2014, you will have until March 31, 2015, to submit reimbursement claims for health
care expenses incurred during 2014.
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
Advantages of a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
The Dependent Care FSA allows you to set aside before-tax dollars to pay eligible dependent care expenses.
The Dependent Care FSA reduces your taxable income because your contributions are deposited in the FSA
on a pre-tax basis. Pre-tax basis means that your contribution is deducted from your paycheck before taxes
are withheld. Consult your tax advisor to determine if participating in the dependent care account would be
to your advantage based on your combined household income and financial situation.
Contribution Amounts
If both you and your spouse work or you are a single parent, you can contribute to the dependent care
account. The maximum listed is a combined amount for you and your spouse. This is an IRS limit so you
need to make sure you don’t exceed it, if you have been contributing to a Dependent Care Flexible Spending
Account through another employer.
Minimum - $60 per year
Maximum - $5,000 per year

12/19/13
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
Eligible Expenses
Dependent Day Care expenses for an eligible dependent incurred while you are at work
Eligible expenses cannot exceed your spouse’s earnings, unless your spouse is a full-time student or is
disabled. If your spouse is a full-time student or disabled, their earnings are considered to be $200 a month
or $400 a month if two or more dependents are receiving care.
Eligible Dependents
An eligible dependent is someone you claim as a dependent on your tax return. The dependent must be
under age 13 or a mentally or physically disabled spouse or dependent who lives in your home and is unable
to care for himself or herself.
Setting Up Your Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
Estimate how much money you will need to cover your expenses for the rest of this year to determine your
annual contribution amount. Remember vacation and school breaks (including the summer months). Each
year during annual enrollment period, as required by law, you will have the opportunity to re-enroll in the
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account. When you incur an eligible expense, you pay the expense, and
then you get reimbursed.
Important Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Requirements
Money contributed to Flexible Spending Accounts must be used for eligible expenses incurred during the
year that it is taken from your pay or it will be forfeited.
Eligible expenses must be incurred after the date your plan participation begins.
Money cannot be transferred between the Health Care Flexible Spending Account and the Dependent
Care Flexible Spending Account.
Expenses paid out are limited by the amount you contribute anytime during the year.
Reimbursement Method
Once you incur and pay the expense, submit the expense to the Payroll Department. Use a reimbursement
claim form and submit to PL – Payroll-Flexible Spending Accounts. If you are attaching a receipt with your
claim form, remember a canceled check cannot be accepted as a receipt. To print a Dependent Care FSA
Claim Form, reference the link on the last page of this Benefits Guide.
Submitting the Claim
Claim forms can be submitted weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or how often you wish. You can be reimbursed
each week for eligible expenses from your Flexible Spending Account that you have submitted during the
week. Reimbursement requests received by Monday at noon will be processed the same week. If Monday is
a holiday, the reimbursement request must be received by 4:30 p.m., on the previous Friday. Reimbursement
payments will be directly deposited into your existing payroll deposit account on Fridays after the claim has
been processed. After December 31, 2014, you will have until March 31, 2015, to submit reimbursement
claims for dependent care expenses incurred during 2014.

Employee Life Insurance
The Employee, Spouse and Child Life options are term life products. The premiums are on
an after-tax basis. Life restriction rules do apply to the Employee, Spouse and Child Life
options. Life restriction rules apply after your new hire enrollment. You will only be able to
move up one level at annual enrollment unless you experience a qualified Life Event, without
proof of good health at your own expense.
Basic Employee Life Benefits
The coverage is equal to one times your Annual Benefit Salary. Annual Benefit Salary is defined in the
Definitions Section of this Benefits Guide
Provided by the company at no cost to you
Premiums for coverage exceeding $50,000 (basic benefit only) are considered taxable income
Employee Supplemental Life Options
You may purchase an additional 1, 2, 3, 4 times your Annual Benefit Salary (Basic and Supplemental Life
coverage cannot exceed a total of $750,000) without proof of good health at your own expense as a new
employee

Employee Supplemental Life Costs
The premiums for Employee Supplemental Life Insurance are paid by you on an after tax basis. The after
tax amount is based on your age as of the previous year of your new hire date and your smoking status.
Thereafter, your after tax amount is based on your age as of August 31 in the current year and your smoking
status. The amount of your coverage will not change during the year, even if your monthly pay changes.
Below you can calculate your premiums per $1,000 of coverage per pay period based on your age and
smoking status:

Paid Time Off Benefits
Short-Term Disability Plan
The Short-Term Disability (“STD”) Plan provides short-term income replacement benefits for
eligible employees who are determined by the Health Services Department to have an absence due to
an illness and are unable to perform the duties of their assigned jobs.
Eligibility - Employees scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week are eligible for STD coverage
following 12 months of continuous Regular employment (Temporary employment excluded from the
12 months of continuous employment) working 30 or more hours per week.
Amount of Benefit – In the event of an eligible absence (not considered to be Workers’
Compensation), the eligible employee will receive 70% of base pay after meeting the 5 day waiting
period. For Production Sales employees who are going out on STD, the value of one's compensation
for the first two months after meeting the Waiting Period is 70% of Base Salary plus 100% on
incentive compensation earned in previous production months. For months three through six (or
until the employee returns to work) the value of one's compensation will be 70% of Base Salary plus
70% of monthly average earned incentive compensation (monthly average incentive compensation is
calculated as the average earned incentives from your most recent 12 full production months). Any
monthly bonus paid to a new Production Sales employee in addition to earned incentive
compensation during such 12-month period will be included in determining average earned incentive
compensation.
Upon return to work, the Production Sales employee will receive 70% of one's earned average
incentive compensation for the first two months plus 100% of Base Salary. Starting with one's third
month back to work from STD, they will receive 100% of Base Salary and 100% Incentive
Compensation.
Maximum Benefit Period – The maximum number of days an eligible employee who is scheduled to
work Regular Full-time hours is up to 125 days in a rolling 12 month time period, which includes
Holiday. The maximum number of hours an eligible employee who is working 30 hours, but less
than scheduled Regular Full-time hours is 750 hours in a rolling 12 month time period, which
includes Holidays.

Due to how the holidays fall in 2014 for Insurance employees, the above chart reflects the additional prorated personal time granted, based upon the number of hours an employee is scheduled to work, in place of
the second floating holiday.
Employees will need to inform their managers or supervisors when they are absent due to their own illness.
When Personal Time is used for any absence other than your own illness, the use of personal other time may
be used at the employee's discretion, subject to manager's approval. Personal Time does not carryover to the
next year.

Vacation is accrued twice monthly on the 15th and the last day of the month. To calculate your
accrual each pay period, count the workdays only between the 1st and the 15th or between the 16th
and the last day of the month. The number of workdays in that pay period will determine your
accrual.
