Enrollment
Once you have reviewed all of your benefit options, it’s time to enroll! Please review
this guide to be sure you make informed benefit decisions.

As a benefits-eligible employee, you have the opportunity to enroll or make changes to your benefit plans
during the following times throughout the year outside of Open Enrollment:

• If you are enrolling as a new hire (including those newly benefits-eligible), you must enroll within 30 days of
your date of hire or initial eligibility date (“Event Date”) to have coverage for the remainder of the plan year.
Your benefit elections will be retroactive to your date of hire or eligibility.

• If you are making changes because you have experienced a Qualifying Life Event, you can enroll or make
changes to your benefit plans within 30 days (60 days for CHIP and Medicaid changes) of the date on which
you experienced the event (“Event Date”) with benefit changes retroactive to the such date.

If you do not enroll during the timeframes noted above, you must wait for the next Open Enrollment period.
Our benefit plan year runs from January 1 to December 31 and the elections you make during your enrollment
will remain in effect during this time.

Qualifying Life Event (QLE)


If you experience a QLE, you must request a change to your benefits in ADP within the timeframe noted
above. You will be required to provide documentation to substantiate any dependent added to or removed
from your coverage. QLEs include:

• marriage, divorce or legal separation


• birth or adoption of a child or appointment of legal guardianship
• change in your (or your spouse’s/domestic partner’s ) employment status that affects eligibility for benefits
• your child’s gain or loss of other coverage, or is no longer considered an eligible dependent

• same network of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield providers — the network does not change from plan to plan
• Blue Cross Blue Shield Global Core program which assists Anthem members traveling or living outside of the U.S.
in obtaining medical care services
• in-network and out-of-network coverage, with greater savings when you choose in-network providers
• access to care without a referral

What is the difference between a non-embedded and an embedded deductible?


A non-embedded deductible is one where the entire family must meet the family deductible together before the
plan pays benefits. An embedded deductible allows an individual within a family to satisfy a separate (lower)
individual deductible for themselves before the family deductible is met.

How the Traditional Plans Work


The $250/$500 and $750/$1,500 plans are grounded, traditional plans with per paycheck premiums and
deductibles lower than the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) option. With a Traditional Plan, in general, you
will pay for medical and prescription drug expenses until you meet your deductible after which coinsurance may
apply.

Under the Traditional Plans, the deductible is “embedded.” This means the individual deductible is embedded
within the family deductible. Before the plan pays benefits, the individual must meet the embedded individual
deductible amount which is equal to the single coverage deductible.

Note that all eligible medical expenses, including Deductibles and annual out-of-pocket maximums
amounts you pay toward the annual deductible, do not “cross apply” for in-network and out-of-
coinsurance and prescription drug copays, will network services. This means that in-network
count toward the out-of-pocket maximum. Once expenses do not count toward your out-of-network
you reach the maximum, the plan pays 100% of limits, and vice versa. If you choose to elect a
your eligible expenses for the rest of the year. Traditional Plan, you are ineligible to participate in
a Health Savings Account, but you are eligible for a
Health Care Flexible Spending Account.

10
How the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) Works
The $1,600/$3,200 HDHP has no per paycheck premiums, but does have a higher deductible than the Traditional
Plan. The HDHP provides the same comprehensive medical coverage as both Traditional Plans; however, you are
required to meet the deductible before the medical plan begins to pay benefits.

We understand a higher deductible can be intimidating which is why the HDHP pairs with a Health Savings
Account (HSA) that Airbus will contribute to on your behalf ($600 or $1,200 depending on elected coverage
level). Additionally, new for 2024, when you participate in the HDHP, you and your enrolled dependents will
receive the Airbus-paid, no-cost, Core Hospital Indemnity plan, which provides a lump-sum cash payment
in certain circumstances before your deductible is met. There is more information on the HSA and Hospital
Indemnity plan options later in the guide.

You will be enrolled in an HSA and the new Hospital Indemnity plan when you enroll in the HDHP.

HSA Deductible
You can set aside tax-free money from You pay 100% of your medical and

contributions) to help cover your costs annual deductible.
— now, or in the future. Learn more
about the HSA on page 13.

Coinsurance Out-of-Pocket Maximum


After meeting the deductible, you You are protected by an annual limit
and the plan share the cost of certain on costs — the plan pays 100% of any
services, with the plan paying 80% in- further covered expenses for the rest
network and you only pay 20%. of the year.

The HDHP has a non-embedded deductible — meaning all covered family members work toward the family
deductible. In other words, as each family member incurs medical expenses, the amount they pay toward these
expenses is credited toward the family deductible. When these expenses add up to the family deductible,
benefits become payable. The out-of-pocket maximum is also an aggregate limit. This means that for those
electing family coverage, an individual is not subject to the single coverage out-of-pocket maximum; instead,
the family out-of-pocket maximum applies in total to all family members.

Note that the deductibles and annual out-of-pocket maximums do not “cross apply” for in-network and out-of-
network services. This means that in-network expenses do not count toward your out-of-network limits,
and vice versa.

HOSPITAL INDEMNITY WITH THE HDHP

Hospital Indemnity complements your medical coverage to help you pay for costs associated
with a hospital stay. Hospital Indemnity is included if you enroll in the $1,600/$3,200 HDHP at
no cost to you, with the option to purchase enhanced coverage. Learn more about Hospital
Indemnity on page 25 of this guide.

11
Prescription Drug Benefits
Prescription drug coverage is included as part of the medical plans and is provided through CVS Caremark. With
this coverage, you can:
• pick up your medications at one of the 66,000 retail pharmacies throughout the U.S. (not limited to CVS locations)
• pay 2x the 30-day supply copay for a 90-day supply of medication (saving one copay) with no-cost shipping
from CVS Caremark® Mail Service Pharmacy or pick it up at a retail CVS location

Savings and Spending Accounts
You can save money on eligible health care and/or dependent care expenses by paying
them through tax-advantaged accounts.
Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
When you enroll in the HDHP, you will also have access to a Health Savings Account (HSA), administered by Fidelity
that will provide you with the opportunity for long-term, tax-preferred savings. The first year under an HDHP can
often be scary, but only until you build-up your HSA account balance with your and Airbus’ contributions. After
several years of participating in an HSA (or sooner!), you can have the protection of an amount necessary to
cover the plan’s out-of-pocket maximum (and more) should a major event occur, after which the plan would pay
100% of all remaining claims for the calendar year.

Security to and through Retirement. The money in your HSA, whether contributed by you or by Airbus, is yours to
keep. There is no “use it or lose it” provision. This allows you to create a “healthcare nest egg” you can use in the
future. The HSA is also a good way to build your retirement savings; after age 65, you can use your HSA funds for any
purpose. Keep in mind the HSA distribution after age 65 will be subject to income tax if you use the HSA funds for
non-healthcare expenses.

Tax-Preferred and Investment Opportunities. You generally do not pay taxes on the contributions you make through
payroll deduction to your HSA. When you use the money — as long as it is used for an eligible healthcare
expense — your withdrawals are tax free. Plus, investment earnings generally grow tax free. Note: California and
New Jersey require employee contributions to your HSA to be after-tax.

Your HSA account can be managed through Fidelity which also manages your 401(k) plan, providing you with a single
vendor for your investments. After enrollment, you will be able to access your HSA through the Fidelity website (same
as retirement) www.401k.com or by calling 1-800-294-4015.

You cannot participate in the HSA if you are receiving Social Security or covered by outside health insurance
(including military Tricare or Medicare). If you enroll in the HDHP and are not eligible for an HSA, you will be provided
with a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) which is eligible to receive an Airbus contribution equivalent to the HSA
you would have otherwise received. Employees considering applying for Medicare will need to cease contributions to
an HSA six months prior to doing so.

You must enroll each year if you want to participate; your contributions will not carry over.

The following table describes the federal tax benefits that apply to participate in the HSA.
Feature How it Works

Non-Taxable Airbus For 2024, Airbus will contribute $600 for individuals and $1,200 for families enrolled in the
Contribution HDHP. Contributions will be made on a bi-weekly basis and prorated based on hire date or
benefit eligibility date throughout the year.

Your Tax Free You can contribute funds from your paycheck before taxes are taken out, up to the yearly IRS
Contribution limits. This reduces your taxable income and therefore the amount you pay in taxes. You are
able to change your payroll contribution once per month.

Pay Expenses Tax Free You can use your HSA to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses tax free,
including for example: copays, deductibles and prescriptions (as well as some over the
counter medicines). A full list of eligible expenses is available from the IRS at www.irs.gov or
1-800-829-3676 (search or ask for Publication 502).

Saving for the Future If you prefer to think of your HSA as a long-term savings account, you may want to leave your
funds alone. Your account will continue to grow tax free, including interest and/or investment
earnings, for future use — even after retirement. You can begin investing with your first
contribution. There is no limit on how much you can eventually accumulate.

13
HSA Eligibility
In order to establish and contribute to an HSA, you:
• must be enrolled in the Airbus $1,600/$3,200 High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
• cannot be covered by any other medical plan that is not a HDHP. This includes a spouse’s medical coverage
unless it’s an HSA-qualified plan
• cannot be enrolled in a traditional health care FSA in 2024
• cannot be enrolled in Medicare, including Parts A or B, or TRICARE, or receiving Social Security benefits
• cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return
• cannot be a veteran who has received treatment, other than preventive care, through the Department of
Veterans Affairs within the past three months

How Much Can You Contribute?


Contributions will be made on a per pay period basis by Airbus and you, if you choose to participate. The
balance within the account will accumulate with each payroll.

2024 IRS Annual Airbus Your Maximum


Contribution Limit Contribution Contribution Amount

Employee Only $4,150 $600 $3,550

Family $8,300 $1,200 $7,100


If an individual reaches age 55 by the end of the calendar year, they are eligible to contribute an additional $1,000.
The annual IRS limit is a cumulative limit of any HSA contribution made during a plan year regardless of employer.

14
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
FSAs help you make your money go further. Through a Fidelity FSA, you can set aside pre-tax dollars through
convenient payroll deductions to pay for your eligible health care and dependent care expenses. You must enroll
each year if you want to participate; your contribution amount will not carry over. You should estimate your
contributions carefully as the money left in your account is forfeited if you do not incur expenses on or before
March 15, 2025 and submit them by March 31, 2025.

Important: If you are enrolled in the HDHP, it is generally to your benefit to maximize your HSA contributions first.

Your FSA options are:

Dental
You have two options for dental coverage through Cigna:
• Core Plan – all coverage levels fully subsidized by Airbus
• Enhanced Plan – provides greater plan benefits with lower deductible and you pay (via payroll deductions) the
difference between what Airbus pays for the Core Plan and the true cost of the Enhanced Plan

Key Features of the Dental Plans:


• choice of two dental plan options: the Core or Enhanced Plan
• access to Cigna’s vast national network of participating providers with both plan options
• orthodontia coverage with a lifetime $2,500 orthodontic maximum (for children and adults included in the
Enhanced Plan)

Visiting an in-network provider will save you money. With the Total Cigna DPPO network, you have a
choice of over 150,000 dentists nationwide. All participating dentists are in one directory, which you
can search online at www.cigna.com and via the myCigna® website or app.

To search for a dentist on www.cigna.com, visit the site and click “Find a Doctor, Dentist or Facility.”
Follow the prompts and when asked to choose your plan, select “DPPO/EPO > Total Cigna DPPO.” You
may also find a dentist using the myCigna® App.

These plans cover both in- and out-of-network dental care, but you will pay more for care if you use an out-of-network
dental provider. As Cigna does not have contracted rates with out-of-network dental providers, they will determine
the prevailing cost, or reasonable and customary charge, for a service within your geographic area to determine
how much they are willing to pay. If your provider charges above the reasonable and customary charge, you may
have to pay the remainder.

Below is a high-level table to help you understand the in-network coverage:

Core Plan Enhanced Plan

Annual Deductible
$50 / $150 $25 / $75
(individual/family)
Annual Maximum $1,500 $2,500
Class I: Preventive & 100%, no deductible (two cleanings 100%, no deductible (four cleanings
Diagnostic Care per year; sealants up to age 14) per year; sealants up to age 19)
Class II: Basic Restorative Care 80% 90%
Class III: Major Restorative Care 50% 60%

Orthodontia 50%, no deductible up to a $2,500

You will receive a Cigna Dental Plan ID in the mail after you enroll. Use this ID number for all claims.

Income Protection
Your family depends on your income for a comfortable lifestyle and for the resources
necessary to make their dreams a reality. Like anyone, you don’t think of the scenario where
you are no longer there for your family. However, you do need to ensure their lives and
dreams can continue if the worst happens.
Airbus provides Basic Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage through MetLife.
Employee-paid supplemental life is available for you, your spouse/domestic partner and children.

Airbus also provides eligible employees with Short- and Long-Term Disability coverage to replace a portion of
your income in the event of illness or injury.

Life and Accident Insurance


Basic Life and AD&D Coverage
You automatically receive Basic Life and AD&D coverage through MetLife at no cost to you. The benefit provides
for 3x your annual salary, up to a maximum of $1,000,000 in coverage.
Please be aware that the IRS requires you to be taxed on the value of employer-paid Basic Life amounts greater
than $50,000. The taxable value of this coverage is called “imputed income.” Even though you do not receive cash,
you are taxed as if you receive cash in any amount equal to the value of this coverage. Any taxable imputed income
resulting from Airbus-provided life insurance amounts over $50,000 is included in your paycheck each pay period.

Supplemental Life and AD&D Coverage


You have the opportunity to supplement your Basic Life and AD&D insurance coverage with MetLife Supplemental
Life and AD&D coverage for yourself and your eligible dependents. Participation in this benefit is voluntary and
you pay the full cost of the benefit on an after-tax basis. The cost varies by age and coverage amount.

Coverage Amount

• Increments of $10,000 up to a $500,000 maximum


Employee
• Life guarantee issue: $250,000 (no EOI required; see below)
• Increments of $5,000 up to a $300,000 maximum
Spouse/Domestic Partner
• Life guarantee issue: $75,000 (no EOI required; see below)

Child • $5,000 up to a $35,000 from birth to 26 years

Evidence of Insurability (EOI)


Evidence of Insurability, otherwise known as a statement of health, is required when electing amounts over the
guarantee issue or for any elections after your initial enrollment period.

Supplemental AD&D is not subject to EOI for any amount. Even if you are not currently enrolled, you may elect
employee, spouse/domestic partner or child AD&D up to the plan maximums without EOI.

For more information on your life and accident plan coverage, limitations and exclusions, or to download forms
and check claims, visit www.metlife.com/mybenefits. You may also call MetLife at 1-800-438-6388.

Disability and Leave
Airbus provides you with a no-cost Short-Term and Long-Term Disability coverage through MetLife to support
you when a personal or medical issue requires you to take time away from work.

Short-Term Disability
Short-Term Disability (STD) is designed to provide The length of your disability period will depend on

is 26 weeks.

PRE-EXISTING CONDITION LIMITATION


A pre-existing condition limitation applies to any medical condition for which you received care within
three months prior to the effective date of coverage. Benefits will not be paid for a total disability
caused by a pre-existing condition unless you have been actively at work for 12 months
from the day you became insured. Pre-existing condition exclusion applies during the first
12 months of your coverage under the Short-Term Disability Plan.

21
Long-Term Disability
If you experience a disabling illness or injury that lasts longer than your STD benefit, Long-Term Disability (LTD)
can replace up to 60% of your eligible pay, subject to a monthly maximum of $19,000 a month.

Here is the LTD Plan’s schedule of benefits:

Elimination Period 26 Weeks

Benefit Percentage 60% of Salary

Maximum Monthly Benefit $19,000

Duration of Benefits Up to Social Security Retirement Age

Note: All disability benefits are taxable to you at time of claim payment.

For assistance with your STD or LTD claims or questions, please call MetLife at 1-844-793-1558. Please refer to
the MetLife LTD Certificate of Coverage for more details.

Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion


A pre-existing condition exclusion applies to any claim for LTD benefit filed within the first 12 months of
coverage under the LTD plan with MetLife. A pre-existing condition may be excluded from benefits if you:
• receive advice or treatment from a doctor;
• underwent diagnostic procedures other than routine screening in the absence of symptoms or
suspicion of disease process by a doctor;
• were prescribed or took prescription drugs; or
• received other medical care or treatment, including consulting with a doctor.

Accident, Critical Illness and Hospital Indemnity
Even with comprehensive coverage from your primary medical plan, you will have some out-of-pocket expenses if
you get critically ill, are seriously injured or need to be hospitalized. Airbus offers you the opportunity to purchase
three different types of supplemental insurance through Voya — Accident, Critical Illness and Hospital Indemnity.
Employees enrolled in the HDHP are enrolled in the Core Hospital Indemnity plan, fully subsidized by Airbus.

Your Accident, Critical Illness and Hospital Indemnity coverage is guaranteed issue, meaning there are no
medical questions you need to answer or medical tests you need to take to get coverage. If you have a covered
hospital expense, you will receive a cash benefit that you can use however you like, for example: to help pay for
expenses not covered by your medical plan, lost wages home healthcare costs or any of your regular household
expenses. Benefits are paid directly to you and paid in addition to any other health insurance, even before your
deductible is met.

Note: You will need to make an active election if you want to have coverage in 2024. Your elections will not carry over.

Accident
Accident coverage helps protect you from unexpected financial stress if you have an accident. The plan
supplements your primary medical coverage by providing cash benefits, even before reaching your deductible, in
cases of accidental injuries, like a broken bone, severe burn or an eye injury. You can use this money to help pay
for medical expenses not paid by your medical plan (such as your deductible or coinsurance) or for anything else
(such as everyday living expenses). The actual benefit amounts depend on the type of injuries you have and the
medical services you need.

You have two plan options, the Core or the Enhanced plan, and can purchase coverage for yourself, spouse/
domestic partner or child(ren). Benefit payments are based on the specific accident-related treatment and will vary
between the Core and Enhanced plan. See the Accident Summary Plan on ADP for a complete benefits schedule.

Subject to the eligibility described at the beginning of this guide, you are eligible to enroll beginning on your
first day of employment. If you do not enroll after 35 days, beginning January 1, 2024, you will be automatically
enrolled in the plan with a 6% employee contribution rate.

Contributions
• Your Contributions: You can contribute from 1 to 75% of your eligible pay on a pre-tax or Roth after-tax basis.
• Company Matching Contributions: Airbus offers matching contributions on your pre-tax and Roth
contributions: 100% on the first 5% of your contribution. Company matching contributions begin immediately
with your first contribution to the plan and are 100% vested.
• Company Discretionary Contribution: After two years of service, Airbus provides a discretionary contribution whether
you participate in the 401(k) plan or not. The discretionary contribution, once eligible, is 100% vested.
• Pre-Tax and Roth After-Tax Contributions: You can contribute eligible earnings to the 401(k) plan in the
form of pre-tax or Roth contributions up to the applicable IRS limits ($22,500 for 2023). If you are 50 or older,
additional catch-up contributions ($7,500 for 2023) are also permitted.

Note: IRS limits reflected are for 2023, but subject to increase annually.
