Welcome to VanguardAs you prepare for your career here, you’ll be taking in a lot of information and making many decisions. Some of these decisions involve selecting your benefits, and we understand this can be a challenge.

Vanguard has made a significant investment in our crew by offering a benefits package that supports you at every stage of your life and career and also helps balance the demands of work and home. We’d like to make it as easy as possible for you to choose the right benefits for your life.

This booklet provides an overview of Vanguard’s benefit offerings. For more detailed information, refer to the following documents:

• The Benefit Plan Summary Plan Description (SPD) provides full details on Vanguard’s extensive benefits package.

Vanguard’s Benefit PlanYou must enroll within 30 days after your date of hire—you’ll be given the opportunity to elect coverage at orientation. Coverage begins on your first day of active employment; other than during Open Enrollment, you cannot change your benefits unless you experience a life event for a permitted election change (marriage, birth of a child, etc.).

Dependent eligibilityYou can choose health benefits for yourself and your eligible dependents, as follows:

• Your legally married spouse.

• Your eligible domestic partner.

• Any child under age 26,* including:

- A natural child, legally adopted child (including a child whom you are legally obligated to support in anticipation of adoption, even if the adoption is not yet final), foster child, or stepchild, or the child of an eligible domestic partner.

- A child for whom you’re required to provide medical coverage under a Qualified Medical Child Support Order.

• Any child who remains continuously mentally or physically disabled and is primarily dependent upon you for support.

*Coverage for dependent children will be extended to the end of the month of their 26th birthday.

If you’ll be choosing benefits for a dependent, you must supply documentation to verify their eligibility. For more information, please review Dependent eligibility for the Benefit Plan.

To cover a domestic partner and/or their child(ren) under your benefits, a notarized Affidavit of Domestic Partnership is also required. Please review domestic partner benefits for more information.

Medical benefits

With Vanguard’s Benefit Plan, you can select from two medical benefit options, the Aetna HealthFund or the High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). There are no restrictions for preexisting medical conditions, and you may waive coverage if you have medical benefits through another source. Both options include:

• Prescription coverage.

• A Vanguard-provided contribution to a health fund account with the potential to earn more through the Health Smart Rewards wellness program to help offset your out-of-pocket costs.

• 100% in-network coverage for the cost of preventive care services.

• Shared cost of nonpreventive expenses through coinsurance.

• 100% in-network coverage when you reach the plan’s out-of-pocket maximums.

• The same extensive network of health care providers.

Aetna HealthFund

The Aetna HealthFund has a deductible and an account to help you offset that deductible; that account is referred to as a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Note: The Aetna HealthFund will not accept new enrollees after 2020 and will be discontinued at the end of 2021.

There are two deductible options for the Aetna HealthFund:

• A lower deductible ($950 individual; $1,900 family) with a higher payroll contribution.

• A higher deductible ($1,250 individual; $2,500 family) with a lower payroll contribution.

The HRA is fully funded by Vanguard and can be used to pay for nonpreventive medical expenses. Any unused HRA amounts will roll over until 2021 as long as you remain in the Aetna HealthFund, even if you change deductible options.

High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)

The HDHP has a deductible and an account to help offset that deductible. That account, referred to as a health savings account (HSA), receives a contribution from Vanguard and can receive pre-tax contributions from you as well. As an enrollee of the HDHP, your HSA is set up and automatically activated with HealthEquity.

An HSA offers triple tax advantages—tax-free contributions, tax-free earnings, and tax-free distributions for qualified health care expenses. HSAs are a great way to save for current and future health care costs. Plus, the balance is yours for life; HSA funds can be used for health care expenses in retirement.

Page 9: 2020 options for health care and more - The Vanguard Group

Crew MemberBenefits 2020

The HealthEquity HSA is initially set up as a cash account and may be maintained as such, but you also have the option of investing all or part of your HSA balance in a variety of Vanguard mutual funds with low expense ratios. HealthEquity will send a Welcome Kit, which includes a Visa® Health Account debit card to pay for qualified medical expenses. Unused HSA balances are carried over each year and are available even if you leave Vanguard.

If you enroll in the HDHP before December 1 of the current year, you are eligible to make contributions and receive employer contributions to an HSA in that year. The HSA must be opened and funded before qualified medical expenses can be reimbursed.

It is important to note that to be eligible to make or receive contributions to an HSA, you cannot be:

• Covered by another health plan that is not an HDHP, generally meaning that you do not have disqualifying health coverage that pays for any medical expenses before the HDHP deductible is met (except for certain limited preventive care expenses).

• Covered by a general purpose health care FSA. You (and your spouse) must elect the limited health care FSA.

• Receiving any benefits from Medicare (including Medicare Part A), generally meaning that you have not reached age 65.

• Claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return.

Please notify Crew Central immediately if you are not eligible to make or receive contributions to an HSA. For more information on HRAs and HSAs, refer to HRA or HSA: Know the difference.

Balance Booster

New for 2020, Vanguard is offering HealthEquity’s Balance Booster program, providing early access to planned HSA payroll contributions. These funds are made available when you need them, giving you the peace of mind to know you can meet expenses, even if your account is not yet fully funded.

You can boost your elected payroll contributions to the HSA for the year, up to the difference between Vanguard’s contribution and your deductible:

• For individual HDHP enrollees, Vanguard contributes $600 toward your deductible of $1,500, so you can boost your elected annual planned payroll contributions, capped at $900.

• For family enrollees, Vanguard contributes $1,200 toward your deductible of $3,000, so you can boost your annual planned payroll contributions, capped at $1,800.

NoteNote: If you elect to make payroll contributions to the HSA, receive an advance of these payroll contributions through Balance Booster, and do not fully repay such advances through future payroll contributions, Vanguard is authorized to recoup these amounts directly from you. If any outstanding Balance Booster advances remain unpaid by the end of the calendar year, such remaining amounts will be included as taxable income on Form W-2 with any required taxes withheld.

Prescription drug benefits

Dental benefits

Vision benefits

If you enroll in medical benefits through Vanguard, you’ll automatically receive prescription drug coverage through CVS Caremark. Prescription drug coverage cannot be elected separately.

You can purchase prescription drugs through both a nationwide network of participating pharmacies and a mail service program. Refer to the prescription plan drug lists for more information on pricing.

Vanguard provides two dental benefit options through Delta Dental: Standard and Enhanced. You’ll have different covered services and benefit reimbursement percentages depending on the option you choose. You can visit the dentist of your choice regardless of which option you choose, but your share of the cost will be lower when you visit an in-network dentist.

You may also visit a provider who is not in Delta Dental’s network, but your costs are the highest with this option. To find out whether your current provider is in Delta Dental’s network, visit deltadentalins.com/vanguard.

Preventive cleanings

To encourage preventive cleanings, Vanguard offers incentives for those covered under the dental benefits. If you have at least one preventive cleaning and exam in a calendar year, you’ll have an increased annual limit for dental services in the following calendar year. Two consecutive years of preventive cleanings will be rewarded with a doubling of the previous annual limit increase.

Vanguard offers a vision option administered by VSP. Vision coverage can be elected even if you waive medical coverage.

Within the calendar year of the benefit, the plan covers:

• Full coverage for exams and contact lens evaluations and fittings in-network; specified reimbursements for out-of-network providers.

• Two pairs of corrective glasses, or two pairs of contact lenses, or one pair of corrective glasses and one pair of contact lenses

Crew MemberBenefits 2020

Flexible spending accountsFlexible spending accounts (FSAs) allow you to pay for qualified out-of-pocket expenses on a pre-tax basis.The Benefit Plan includes two types of FSAs: a health care FSA and a dependent day care FSA.

You may elect to participate in one, both, or neither of these accounts, but these accounts cannot be used interchangeably.

For more information, visit IRS.gov and refer to Publication 502 for eligible health care expenses and Publication 503 for eligible dependent day care expenses.

Health care FSA

You can deposit up to $2,750 annually into your health care FSA. Married crew members may contribute $2,750 each. You can choose between two types of health care FSAs: a general purpose health care FSA or a limited health care FSA.

If your spouse is enrolled in an HDHP, consider electing a limited health care FSA so your spouse can remain eligible to make and receive HSA contributions. If you elect the HDHP, you should elect the limited health care FSA so you remain eligible to make and receive HSA contributions.

The limited FSA can be used immediately for dental, vision, and preventive prescription drug expenses, but you must meetmust meet the plan deductible before you can use the limited FSA for medical and nonpreventive prescription drug expenses. Based on the flexibility of the HSA and the fact that your contributions never expire, it’s recommended that you only contribute to the FSA if you’ve maximized your HSA contributions and have expected dental, vision, and preventive drug expenses in 2020 that you’d like to pay for with pre-tax dollars while keeping your HSA balance intact.

Dependent day care FSA

If you’re single, or married and file a joint tax return, you may deposit up to $5,000 annually into a dependent day care FSA. If you’re married and file a separate tax return, you may each deposit up to $2,500 annually.

Dependents whose day care expenses are eligible for reimbursement under this FSA are:

• Children under age 13, or over age 13 with disabilities, whom you claim as tax dependents.

• Anyone you claim as a tax dependent—including your spouse, parents, or your spouse’s parents— who lives with you and is physically or mentally incapable of self-care.

Dependent Day Care Subsidy Program

Vanguard may provide a subsidy to your elected dependent day care FSA to help pay for your day care expenses. For 2020, your combined annual household income must be less than $78,950, including a spouse’s income, if applicable. If eligible, your dependent day care FSA contribution will be offset by 30%, up to an annual maximum of $1,500.

Life insurance

Basic life insurance

Vanguard provides you with basic life insurance at no cost to you:

• A flat $50,000 coverage option (no imputed income taxes); or

• Coverage equal to two times your direct pay, up to a maximum of $1 million (with imputed income taxes for cost of coverage above $50,000). See the Benefit Plan SPD for more information.

Your direct pay includes your annual base salary as of your date of hire.

Supplemental life insurance

If you choose two times your direct pay for basic life, you may also elect to purchase up to seven times your direct pay in supplemental life insurance coverage (up to $1.5 million).

You may increase your supplemental life insurance from year to year by the amount of increases to your direct pay, up to $1.5 million, or you may reduce your multiple of direct pay election yearly without restrictions.

If you elect more than $500,000 in supplemental life insurance, you must satisfy evidence of insurability (EOI) requirements. If you waive supplemental life insurance during the new hire enrollment period and choose to elect it in the future, you will need to satisfy EOI requirements before the coverage is effective.

Your accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage amount will mirror your life insurance coverage amount, at no additional cost to you.

Spousal life insurance

Vanguard offers six different life insurance options for your spouse or domestic partner (DP), with coverage ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, for which you will be the beneficiary.

However, the amount you purchase for your spouse or DP cannot exceed 50% of the amount of your Vanguard supplemental life insurance, and you’ll need to satisfy evidence of insurability (EOI) requirements if you elect more than $40,000 in spousal life insurance.

If you waive spousal life insurance during the new hire enrollment period and wish to elect it in the future, you will need to satisfy EOI requirements before the coverage is effective.

If you and your spouse or DP are both crew members, neither of you may elect spousal life insurance on the other one as you will each receive your own basic life insurance.

Long-term disability coverage

Legal services

Dependent child life insurance

You can choose one of three life insurance options for dependent children. You can cover any number of dependent children under this option for the same per-pay cost, but each must be under age 26. You are the beneficiary of the dependent child life insurance option you elect.

If you and your spouse are both crew members, only one of you can elect dependent child life insurance.

Long-term disability (LTD) insurance is designed to provide you with income should you become disabled and unable to work, and it is provided to all benefits-eligible crew members. Your benefit will provide 662/3% of your direct pay less any other disability income benefits for which you may be eligible. Vanguard will provide you with a credit in your paycheck equal to the full cost of this coverage and will deduct the premium from your paychecks.

You cannot waive LTD coverage. You just need to choose whether to use pre-tax or after-tax dollars to pay for this coverage. Consider the tax consequences of each option:

• • Pre-tax dollarsPre-tax dollars. If you become disabled, your LTD benefits will be subject to federal income tax and (if applicable) state and local income tax.

• • After-tax dollars.After-tax dollars. If you become disabled, your LTD benefits will be exempt from federal income tax, if applicable, and possibly state and local income tax.

You’ll need to base your decision to pay on a pre- or after-tax basis on your own personal circumstances.

Your direct pay includes your annual base salary as of your date of hire.

Vanguard offers optional personal legal services coverage to crew members, their spouses and domestic partners, and children up to age 26.

The provider, Hyatt Legal Plans, gives you access to a nationwide network of more than 2,500 law firms. Members of these firms—plan attorneys—provide complete representation on a variety of legal matters. Office consultations and telephone advice are fully covered.

Changing your benefit elections during the plan year

Generally, you cannot change your benefit elections (including covered dependents) until the next annual Open Enrollment period, unless you experience a life event for a permitted election change, as defined by the IRS and the Benefit Plan SPD. Election changes during the year must be consistent with the event (e.g., if you get married, you can add your spouse to your Health Benefits coverage). While we provide some highlights below, please refer to the Benefit Plan SPD or call Crew Central for more information.

Special enrollment rights

If you do not enroll during either of these enrollment periods, and if you have declined enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because you have other medical insurance coverage, you can subsequently enroll yourself or your dependents, provided you request enrollment within 30 days after your (or your dependents’) other medical coverage ends.

In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may enroll yourself and your dependents, provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.

However, if you decline enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because you have medical coverage under Medicaid or CHIP, you have 60 days after the termination of that coverage to request enrollment for yourself or your dependents. In addition, if you or your dependent becomes eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you have 60 days after eligibility is determined to notify Crew Central if you want to make a change to your benefit elections.

To request special enrollment or obtain more information, please refer to the Benefit Plan SPD or contact Crew Central.

Participating in the RSP is one of the best ways to save for a comfortable retirement. Here’s why:

• Tax advantages. With the RSP, you can reduce your taxable income by making pre-tax contributions, and investment returns are tax-deferred. You can also make some or all of your contributions on a Roth after-tax basis, which can give you tax-free income in retirement, including your investment returns.*

• Vanguard contributions. After you complete one year of service, Vanguard will make fully vested matching contributions to your account. Here’s how it works: For every $1 you contribute up to 4% of your eligible pay, Vanguard will contribute $1. In addition, beginning from your date of hire, Vanguard will make a retirement contribution equal to 10% of your eligible pay every quarter regardless of how much you contribute. Quarterly contributions are fully vested after six years of service.

• Flexibility. While the purpose of the RSP is to help you save for retirement, the plan does offer a loan option and hardship withdrawals.

• Help when you need it. If you’d prefer not to use the automatic investment funds and have someone else manage your investments, the RSP also offers professional advice services.

• Consolidated savings. You can roll over money from other employer plans to the RSP, even if you choose not to contribute.

Vanguard Retirement and Savings Plan contribution is almost 57% higher than what is offered by other employers.

Vanguard matches your contributions up to 4% and provides 10% quarterly contributions.

How the RSP stacks up

Vanguard provides investment management and recordkeeping services for nearly 2,000 employer plans. Out of those retirement plans, only 40% provide both an employer match and additional employer contributions.** The RSP is one of those plans.

Among plans that offer both types of contributions, Vanguard’s total contribution is almost 57% higher than the average.

For more information

To learn more about the RSP, refer to Vanguard Retirement and Savings Plan or the Summary Plan Description. Be sure to also check out the education and tools available at vanguard.com/education.

All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.

Advice is provided by Vanguard Advisers, Inc., a federally registered investment advisor. Eligibility restrictions may apply.

*Tax implications: You will be responsible for paying any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes on a distribution or withdrawal from pre-tax accounts. A distribution or withdrawal of Roth 401(k) earnings is usually also taxable unless the initial Roth contribution was made more than five years ago and you are at least age 59½. Early withdrawals may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. To the extent required by law, Vanguard will make the appropriate withholding for tax purposes.
