You and your family have unique needs, which is why Nationstar offers a variety of benefit plans from which you may choose. Consider your spouse/domestic partner’s benefits through his or her place of employment and your dependents’ eligibility when weighing each option.

ELIGIBILITYIf you are a regular full‑time employee of Nationstar Mortgage who is regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week, you are eligible to participate in the medical, dental, vision, life and disability plans, as well as the Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and additional benefits.

WHEN DOES COVERAGE BEGIN?The elections you make during Open Enrollment are effective on January 1, 2017. Due to IRS regulations, once you have made your choices for 2017, you can’t change your benefits until the next enrollment period unless you have a qualifying life event.For newly hired employees after January 1, 2017, you will be eligible to participate in the Nationstar Mortgage benefits on the first day of the month following or coinciding with your date of hire.

WHEN TO ENROLL?Current employees — During Open Enrollment, October 28 to November 14, 2016 you can change your current elections and/or elect coverage for 2017. Open Enrollment is ACTIVE and your current 2016 elections will not roll over into 2017, with the exception of life insurance. If you do not elect medical, dental, vision FSA or HSA, these pre‑tax deductions will end December 31, 2016.Newly hired employees — To be covered under Nationstar Mortgage benefits plans, you must enroll online within 31 days of your hire/rehire date.Employees who experience a qualifying life event — When a life event occurs, you have 31 days from the date of the event to notify the Nationstar Benefits Center and/or process changes to your coverage online.

Your coverage is effective January 1, 2017. For new hires, coverage is effective on the 1st day of the month following or coinciding with your date of hire.

YOUR ELIGIBLE DEPENDENTSDependents eligible for coverage in the Nationstar Mortgage benefits plans include:

• Your legal spouse (or common‑law spouse in states that recognize common‑law marriages).

• A domestic partner • Your dependent children (includes stepchildren, legally adopted children or children

placed with you for adoption, and foster children).‑ Medical, Dental and Vision coverage up to age 26‑ Dependent Life coverage up to age 26 (unmarried child(ren))

• Your dependent child, regardless of age, provided he or she is incapable of self‑support due to a mental or physical disability, is fully dependent on you for support as indicated on your federal tax return.

For New Hires or changes in 2017, please note that verification of dependent eligibility will be required once dependents are enrolled. If you do not provide the necessary documentation or cannot provide adequate documentation to verify your dependent’s eligibility, your unverified dependents will not be added to your 2017 coverage.

DOMESTIC PARTNER COVERAGETo be eligible for Domestic Partner coverage, you and your Domestic Partner must meet the conditions outlined in the “Domestic Partner Certification Affidavit.” This form must be submitted at time of enrollment.Proof of the ongoing nature of the domestic partnership may be requested, as needed.

DOMESTIC PARTNER IMPORTANT TAX NOTE:If you choose to enroll a domestic partner and/or his or her children in medical, dental and/or vision coverage, the premiums for that coverage will be deducted from your pay on a post‑tax basis. Your premiums for your own coverage will continue to be deducted on a pre‑tax basis.In addition, the amount that Nationstar contributes to the plan for that domestic partner is considered imputed income or DPII (Domestic Partner Imputed Income) and is added to your taxable wages each pay period. The amount Nationstar contributes to your coverage as an employee, however, continues to be tax‑free.For additional tax information, please view the “Domestic Partner Tax Information” document found on the Nationstar Connect Benefits Page.For further information please contact the Nationstar Benefits Center at 844‑NSTAR‑BEN (844‑678‑2723) or email [email protected].

Only one member of a married couple

who works for Nationstar may

elect Employee and Spouse coverage.

Additionally, if you are married to a Nationstar employee and

you have children, Employee and

Family coverage may be elected with immediate family members

under only one Nationstar

employee.

Health Care Reform in 2017 The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, also known as Health Care Reform) requires most Americans to have a minimum level of health insurance or pay a tax penalty. If you enroll in a Nationstar Mortgage medical plan, you satisfy

this requirement. You can find more information about PPACA and the Health Insurance Marketplace online at www.healthcare.gov.

Please note that the Nationstar medical plan options meet both the coverage and affordability requirements so active employees will not qualify for a subsidy

for a Health Insurance Marketplace plan.

THINGS TO CONSIDERBefore enrolling, it is a good time to consider your benefits and determine if you need to make changes. Situations that you should take into account as you assess your benefits decisions:

• Does your spouse/domestic partner have benefits coverage available through another employer?

• Did you get married, divorced or have a baby recently? If so, do you need to add or remove any dependent(s) and/or update your beneficiary designation?

• Did any of your covered children reach their 26th birthday this year? If so, they are no longer eligible for benefits.

QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTSWhen one of the following events occurs, you have 31 days from the date of the event to notify the Nationstar Benefits Center and/or process changes to your coverage. Your change in coverage must be consistent with your change in status.

• Change in your legal marital status (marriage, divorce or legal separation)• Change in the number of your dependents (for example, through birth or

adoption, or if a child is no longer an eligible dependent)• Change in your spouse/domestic partner’s employment status (resulting in

a loss or gain of coverage)• Change in your employment status from full‑time to part‑time, or part‑time

to full‑time, (resulting in a loss or gain of coverage)• Entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid• Purchase of coverage through the ACA Exchange Marketplace• Current court‑ordered medical, dental and vision coverage for your

dependents cannot be dropped unless a request is submitted by the Attorney General.

PREPARING TO ENROLLNationstar Mortgage seeks to provide its employees with competitive benefit coverage. As a committed partner in your health, Nationstar Mortgage will be absorbing a significant amount of the costs. Your share of the contributions for medical, dental, vision, HSA and FSA benefits are deducted on a pre‑tax basis —this lowers the amount you pay in taxes.Please note that employee contributions for medical, dental and vision coverage vary depending on the level of coverage you select. All premiums are based on a semi‑monthly schedule, and contributions are taken the first two pay periods of each month.

Keep in mind that you may select any combination of medical, dental and/or vision plans and any combination of coverage categories. For example, you could select medical coverage for you and your entire family, but select dental and vision coverage only for yourself. The only requirement is that you, as an eligible employee of Nationstar Mortgage, must elect coverage for yourself in order to elect any dependent coverage. You have the option to select coverage from the following categories:

• Employee Only

• Employee + Spouse/Domestic Partner

• Employee + Child(ren)

• Employee + Family (Spouse/Domestic Partner and child(ren))

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have a reporting provision for employers who offer insurance to employees. All employees who enroll spouses or dependents into one of the medical plans must provide the spouse or

dependent’s valid Social Security number.

Don’t forget to enroll your newborn in your family

coverage. If your newborn is not enrolled, all claims will be denied after a 30 day grace period back to the

date of birth.

Nationstar has partnered with Viverae to reward employees who take steps to learn about and improve their personal health. For 2017, the wellness incentive programs continue to focus on health – not just completing activities like a screening. It’s important to take steps to stay or get healthy. This means that to earn the incentives for 2017, certain health measures must be met as we want to encourage employees to actually improve their health and lower their risk for serious health conditions.

NON-TOBACCO INCENTIVE CREDITThe non‑tobacco incentive is part of the general wellness program under the Nationstar Employee Benefit Plan and is designed to improve participant health by rewarding those who do not use or who stop using tobacco products. Medical Plan Participants who meet the non‑tobacco program points goal will be eligible to receive a $30 Medical Premium Credit for 2017 in the first two pay periods per month. To qualify for the Non‑tobacco incentive credit, employees must complete the Member Health Assessment, Biometric Screening and Tobacco Screening test by October 31, 2016.If you test positive for tobacco, you may still qualify for the incentive by completing a tobacco cessation coaching program (or your physician may recommend an alternative program). The targeted program for Non‑Tobacco must be completed by November 30, 2016 for all employees hired on or before November 1, 2016. Employees hired November 2, 2016 through December 1, 2016 will have until December 31, 2016, to complete a tobacco cessation program.

NON-TOBACCO PROGRAM POINTS In order to earn the Non‑Tobacco Medical Premium Credit for 2017, you must earn a total of 100 out of a possible 100 points as outlined in the chart below.

MEDICAL PLAN SUMMARYThere are two primary choices of medical plans:

• Health Savings Plan (HSP) with Health Savings Account (HSA) — The HSP plan offers great value with lower paycheck deductions and has similar PPO network provisions noted below, with several distinct features that can make it a cost‑effective alternative for employees and their families.

• Nationstar contributes money into the HSA to help employees offset out‑of‑pocket healthcare expenses on a pre‑tax basis. Employees can also contribute to the HSA on a pre‑tax basis. The funds contributed to the HSA may accumulate earnings on a tax‑free basis and may be withdrawn on a tax‑free basis if used for qualified healthcare‑related expenses. This is an individual account, so it is portable should you leave Nationstar in the future and you do not forfeit any company contributions. This enables many to save for future medical expenses. See the HSA section for more details.

• The IRS mandates that the HSP/HSA must have a higher deductible, but the employee paycheck deductions are lower than the PPO and HMO.

• Out‑of‑pocket prescription costs will apply toward the out‑of‑pocket maximum. • Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) — The PPO plan provides the option to see both in‑network and

out‑of‑network providers; you decide whether or not to use a network provider for your specific medical needs. However, to benefit from the lower out‑of‑pocket costs, it is your responsibility to verify your providers are in‑network. If you choose to seek care out‑of‑network, your out‑of‑pocket costs will be higher, possibly significantly. While you do not need referrals to access specialty care, you are required to have certain procedures and all hospital stays pre‑certified.

The chart below gives a summary of the 2017 medical coverage provided by UnitedHealthcare (UHC). All covered services are subject to medical necessity as determined by the plan.

GENERIC DRUGS – QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

WHAT IS A GENERIC DRUG?

When the patent protection for a brand‑name drug expires, companies can manufacture drugs that contain the same active ingredient, identical in chemical structure, as the brand‑name drug. The generic drug has the same dosage, strength and quality as its brand‑name counterpart.

IF GENERIC DRUGS ARE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THEIR BRAND‑NAME ALTERNATIVES, SHOULD I QUESTION THE GENERIC DRUG’S EFFECTIVENESS OR QUALITY?

No. Generic drugs have the exact same pharmacological effects as their brand‑name alternative and they must be approved by the FDA as both safe and effective.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBES A BRAND‑NAME DRUG?

You can always ask your doctor or pharmacist if there is a generic alternative or a generic equivalent (a drug in the same therapeutic class that has a generic) available.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THERE IS A GENERIC OR GENERIC EQUIVALENT FOR MY BRAND‑NAME DRUG?

You can find generic equivalents online on the FDA’s website: http://www.fda.gov. Simply search “Drugs@FDA.”

UHC MAIL ORDER PRESCRIPTION BENEFITSAnother way to increase your health plan value is the management of your monthly and ongoing medications, like those for high blood pressure or diabetes. Do your research and check to see if mail ordering your prescriptions can work for you and save you money. If you have any questions about the program or need to obtain a Mail Order Prescription Drug Program Claim Form, you may access the website at www.myuhc.com or call the Customer Service Helpline at the telephone number shown in this Benefit Booklet or on your identification card. There are many reasons to take advantage of the Mail Order program. Typically the program will save you both time and money. In the PPO, you will receive 3 months of medication for 2 months worth of copays, and it will be delivered right to your door!

A NOTE ABOUT SPECIALTY MEDICATIONS [BRIOVA]BriovaRx, the OptumRx Specialty Pharmacy, is our specialty pharmacy services company dedicated to delivering high‑quality, cost‑effective specialty pharmacy care.

PREVENTIVE DRUGSPreventive care benefits are an essential part of a comprehensive health care plan, including preventive medications. Preventive medications play an important role in preventing disease or other adverse health events like heart disease, strokes, and blood clots. Nationstar is committed to providing access to preventive care in the HSP and is covering specific preventive medications at 100% without a deductible in the HSP.Some examples of preventive medications include anti‑coagulants, anti‑platelets, cholesterol lowering agents, osteoporosis therapy, and many others. Please visit www.myuhc.com for a complete list.

GENERIC DRUGSOne way to get more value from your health care plan is to use generic drugs when they are available, which lowers the cost of your personal health needs.

Take charge of your health care spending with a Health Savings Account (HSA). The contributions are tax advantaged—deposit, withdraw and earn interest on a federal tax‑free basis. Use it to pay for eligible medical expenses when you are enrolled in Nationstar’s Health Savings Plan (HSP).Your HSA can be used for qualified expenses, including those of your spouse and/or dependent(s), even if they are not covered by your Plan.Optum Bank will issue you a debit card, giving you direct access to your account balance. When you have a qualified medical expense, you can use your debit card to pay. You must have a balance to use your debit card. There are no receipts to submit for reimbursement.Eligible expenses include doctors’ office visits, eye exams, prescription expenses and laser eye surgery. IRS Publication 502 provides a complete list of eligible expenses. Visit www.irs.gov for details.Please note: your HSA cannot be used for expenses incurred by your Domestic Partner and in some cases, your domestic partner’s child(ren). Please consult your tax advisor for further details.

ELIGIBILITYYou are eligible to open and fund an HSA if:

• You are covered by an HSA‑eligible Consumer‑Driven Health Plan (CDHP), such as Nationstar Health Savings Plan (HSP).

• You are not covered by your spouse’s/domestic partner’s health plan, Health Care Flexible Spending Account or Health Reimbursement Account.

• You are not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return (spouses filing jointly are allowed).

• You are not enrolled in Medicare or TRICARE for Life. This includes Medicare Part A, which automatically begins when Social Security begins unless you actively decline it.

• You have not received Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits.

INDIVIDUALLY OWNED ACCOUNTYou own and decide how to use your Health Savings Account. You determine how much you will contribute to your account, when to use the money to pay for qualified medical expenses and when to reimburse yourself. HSAs allow you to save and “roll over” money if you do not spend it in the calendar year. The money in this account is always yours, even if you change health plans or jobs. There are no vesting requirements or forfeiture provisions.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)

You can use HSA money to pay for eligible medical expenses now or in the future. Health Savings Accounts offer more flexibility for savings than a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account.

In more ways than one, your smile is a sign of your overall well‑being. Take care of your teeth and you take care of the rest of your body.

DENTAL PLAN SUMMARYNationstar offers the choice of two dental plans. You can choose between the High PPO and either the Base PPO or Dental HMO Managed Plan (DHMO) (depending on the state you reside in). All plans are administered by MetLife and provide benefits for services from participating providers.

NETWORK DENTISTSFor the High and Base PPO Plans, using a network dentist lowers your out‑of‑pocket costs. This is because the network dentists have agreed to charge lower fees, and your plan’s in‑network services cover a larger share of the charges. If you choose the High or Base Plan and use a dentist who doesn’t participate in the network, your out‑of‑pocket costs will be higher and you are subject to any charges beyond Reasonable and Customary (R&C). For the DHMO Plan, there is a restricted network; you will need to select a network provider based on your zip code and provide the Facility ID when you enroll in Workday. Note: For the DHMO, until a provider is selected and set up, you will not have access to dental services and this may cause a delay of services up to two months. To find a MetLife participating dentist visit www.metlife.com/dental, enter a zip code and pick a network.Networks:Base and High Dental Plan: PDPDHMO Plan: MET290

For employees currently enrolled in the NSM High PPO Dental plan changing to the DHMO Plan with dependents engaged in Ortho treatment under the plan, you must complete a

MetLife Continuing Orthodontic Form within 60 days of the change and MetLife will continue payment of the remaining balance owed, up to a maximum of $1,500.

DENTAL BENEFITSBrush up on dental care.

Routine preventive care such as regular dental checkups can help lower your risk of stroke and heart disease

DEPENDENT CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (DAY CARE EXPENSES)You may opt to participate in the Dependent Care FSA as well— whether or not you elect any other benefits. The Dependent Care FSA sets aside pre‑tax funds to help pay for expenses associated with caring for elder or child dependents. Unlike the Health Care FSA, reimbursement from your Dependent Care FSA is limited to the total amount that is deposited in your account at that time.

• With the Dependent Care FSA you are allowed to set aside up to $5,000 (per household) to pay for child or elder care expenses on a pre‑tax basis.

• Eligible dependents include children under the age of 13 and dependents of any age who are incapable of caring for themselves and who spend at least eight hours per day in your home; they must also be claimed as dependents on your federal income tax return to qualify.

• Dependent care expenses are reimbursable as long as the provider is not anyone considered your dependent for income tax purposes.

• In order to be reimbursed, you must provide the tax identification number or Social Security number of the party providing care.

ELIGIBLE DEPENDENT CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT EXPENSESThis account covers dependent day care expenses that are necessary for you and your spouse to work or attend school full time. Examples of eligible dependent care expenses include:

• In‑home babysitting services (not by an individual you claim as a dependent)

• Care of a preschool child by a licensed nursery or day care provider

• Before‑ and after‑school care• Day camp• In‑house dependent day care

Due to federal regulations, expenses for your domestic partner and/or your domestic partner’s children may not be reimbursed under the FSA programs.

It’s never too early – or too late – to start planning for your retirement. Making contributions to a 401(k) account is the first step toward achieving financial security later in life. We offer several options to help you make the most of your retirement and live a secure and happy life once your work years are behind you.

A 401(k) plan can be a powerful tool in promoting financial security in retirement. The Nationstar Mortgage 401(k) Retirement Plan helps eligible employees save and invest for retirement while receiving certain tax advantages. Nationstar Mortgage will match both pre‑tax deferral contributions and Roth post‑tax contributions. Nationstar Mortgage will match eligible contributions as follows:*100% of first 2% of eligible compensation*50% of next 4% of eligible compensation*The maximum company match is 4% if 6% or more is contributed.*Pre‑tax deferral contributions are matched first if you elect both Pre‑Tax and Roth 401(k) contributions.

ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENTYou may participate in the plan after your date of hire and first paycheck. You must be at least 18 years of age to be eligible. If you do not make an initial election, you will be automatically enrolled to participate in the plan at a 3% pre‑tax deferral. This contribution will take effect approximately 30 days following your hire date and completion of your new hire requirements..

VESTINGVesting refers to your right to a contribution when you end employment. You’re always 100% vested in your own contributions. You become vested in the matching contributions as shown in the Vesting Schedule Chart.

CONTRIBUTING TO THE PLANAs noted before, you are automatically enrolled for a 3% pre‑tax deferral. You may elect to increase or decrease your contribution deferral election at any time following your first paycheck. Deferrals will be effective the first pay period following your election. Deferred contributions are based on a percentage of your eligible pay up to plan limits set by the IRS.You may contribute between 1% and 60% of your eligible pay on a pre‑tax basis, up to the annual IRS limit. The plan also has an automatic increase feature for individuals hired after 2012. The plan will increase your contribution deferral percentage by 1% each January first until you reach 6% of eligible pay. You may increase or decrease this annual automatic increase at any time. The IRS maximum contribution limit for 2017 is $18,000. You may defer up to 100% of eligible pay on an after‑tax basis. The Nationstar Company matching contributions will be made to your account on a per‑pay‑period basis, and are based on your deferral contribution election.

Required NoticesImportant Notice from Nationstar Mortgage About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare under the United Healthcare PPO and HSP Plan(s)Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Nationstar Mortgage and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.

There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:

1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.

2. Nationstar Mortgage has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the United Healthcare PPO and HSP plan(s) is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan.

When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan?You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare during a seven-month initial enrollment period. That period begins three months prior to your 65th birthday, includes the month you turn 65, and continues for the ensuing three months. You may also enroll each year from October 15th through December 7th.

However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.

What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan?If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Nationstar Mortgage coverage will not be affected. For most persons covered under the Plan, the Plan will pay prescription drug benefits first, and Medicare will determine its payments second. For more information about this issue of what program pays first and what program pays second, see the Plan’s summary plan description or contact Medicare at the telephone number or web address listed herein.

If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Nationstar Mortgage coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will not be able to get this coverage back.

When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan?You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with Nationstar Mortgage and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.

If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.

For More Information about This Notice or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage…Contact the person listed at the end of these notices for further information. NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through Nationstar Mortgage changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time.

For More Information about Your Options under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage…More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans.

For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage:

» Visit www.medicare.gov » Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside

back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help

» Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048

If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

Remember: Keep this Medicare Part D notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty).

Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 was signed into law on October 21, 1998. The Act requires that all group health plans providing medical and surgical benefits with respect to a mastectomy must provide coverage for all of the following:

» Reconstruction of the breast on which a mastectomy has been performed

» Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance

» Prostheses » Treatment of physical complications of all stages of mastectomy,

including lymphedema

This coverage will be provided in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, and will be subject to the same annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions which apply for the mastectomy. For deductibles and coinsurance information applicable to the plan in which you enroll, please refer to the summary plan description or contact Human Resources at 469-426-3516.

HIPAA Privacy and Security The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 deals with how an employer can enforce eligibility and enrollment for health care benefits, as well as ensuring that protected health information which identifies you is kept private. You have the right to inspect and copy protected health information that is maintained by and for the plan for enrollment, payment, claims and case management. If you feel that protected health information about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask your benefits administrator to amend the information. The Notice of Privacy Practices has been recently updated. For a full copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices, describing how protected health information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to the information, contact Human Resources at 469-426-3516.

HIPAA Special Enrollment Rights If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to later enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards your or your dependents’ other coverage).

Loss of eligibility includes but is not limited to:

» Loss of eligibility for coverage as a result of ceasing to meet the plan’s eligibility requirements (i.e. legal separation, divorce, cessation of dependent status, death of an employee, termination of employment, reduction in the number of hours of employment);

» Loss of HMO coverage because the person no longer resides or works in the HMO service area and no other coverage option is available through the HMO plan sponsor;

» Elimination of the coverage option a person was enrolled in, and another option is not offered in its place;

» Failing to return from an FMLA leave of absence; and » Loss of coverage under Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance

Program (CHIP).

Unless the event giving rise to your special enrollment right is a loss of coverage under Medicaid or CHIP, you must request enrollment within 31 days after your or your dependent’s(s’) other coverage ends (or after the employer that sponsors that coverage stops contributing toward the coverage).

If the event giving rise to your special enrollment right is a loss of coverage under Medicaid or the CHIP, you may request enrollment under this plan within 60 days of the date you or your dependent(s) lose such coverage under Medicaid or CHIP. Similarly, if you or your dependent(s) become eligible for a state-granted premium subsidy towards this plan, you may request enrollment under this plan within 60 days after the date Medicaid or CHIP determine that you or the dependent(s) qualify for the subsidy.

In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.

To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact Human Resources at 469-426-3516.

Notice Regarding Wellness ProgramThrough Viverae, Nationstar offers a voluntary wellness program available to all employees. The program is administered according to federal rules permitting employer-sponsored wellness programs that seek to improve employee health or prevent disease, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as applicable, among others. If you choose to participate in the wellness program you will be asked to complete a voluntary member health assessment or “MHA” that asks a series of questions about your health-related activities and behaviors and whether you have or had certain medical conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, or heart disease). You will also be asked to complete a biometric screening, which will include a blood test for conditions for which blood will be tested. You are not required to complete the MHA or to participate in the blood test or other medical examinations.

However, employees who choose to participate in the wellness program will receive an incentive of a medical premium credit. Although you are not required to complete the MHA or participate in the biometric screening, only employees who do so will receive medical premium credit.

Additional incentives may be available for employees who participate in certain health-related activities or achieve certain health outcomes. If you are unable to participate in any of the health-related activities or achieve any of the health outcomes required to earn an incentive, you may be entitled to a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard. You may request a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard by contacting your Human Resources Business Partner.

The information from your MHA and the results from your biometric screening will be used to provide you with information to help you understand your current health and potential risks, and may also be used to offer you services through the wellness program, such as health coaching. You also are encouraged to share your results or concerns with your own doctor.

Protections from Disclosure of Medical InformationWe are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your personally identifiable health information. Although the wellness program and Nationstar Mortgage may use aggregate information it collects to design a program based on identified health risks in the workplace, Viverae will never disclose any of your personal information either publicly or to the employer, except as necessary to respond to a request from you for a reasonable accommodation needed to participate in the wellness program, or as expressly permitted by law. Medical information that personally identifies you that is provided in connection with the wellness program will not be provided to your supervisors or managers and may never be used to make decisions regarding your employment.

Your health information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disclosed except to the extent permitted by law to carry out specific activities related to the wellness program, and you will not be asked or required to waive the confidentiality of your health information as a condition of participating in the wellness program or receiving an incentive. Anyone who receives your information for purposes of providing you services as part of the wellness program will abide by the same confidentiality requirements. The only individual(s) who will receive your personally identifiable health information is Viverae in order to provide you with services under the wellness program.

In addition, all medical information obtained through the wellness program will be maintained separate from your personnel records, information stored electronically will be encrypted, and no information you provide as part of the wellness program will be used in making any employment decision. Appropriate precautions will be taken to avoid any data breach, and in the event a data breach occurs involving information you provide in connection with the wellness program, we will notify you immediately.

You may not be discriminated against in employment because of the medical information you provide as part of participating in the wellness program, nor may you be subjected to retaliation if you choose not to participate.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this notice, or about protections against discrimination and retaliation, please contact Human Resources.
