The election period must end before the beginning of the plan year for which it will be effective, and must apply on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis to all employees.

Changes in family status include: • the marriage or divorce of the employee; • the death of the employee's spouse or of a dependent of the employees; • the birth or adoption of a child of the employee; • the termination or commencement of employment of the employee's spouse; • the switching from part-time to full-time work, or vice versa, by the employee or the employee's spouse; • the taking of an unpaid leave of absence by the employee or the employee's spouse; • a significant change in the health coverage of the employee or the employee's spouse attributable to the spouse's employment; or • any similar change in family circumstances that would be viewed by the Internal Revenue Service as justifying a change in election under this program. An employee's participation in the premium reduction program ends: • on the effective date of a revocation of participation, if no new election is made; • at the end of an employee's last day of eligible service with the employer; • upon the employer's termination of the plan; or • at the employee's death. Although the premium reduction program is intended to provide certain tax-free benefits to participants, the employer and the benefits administrator, Liberty National Life Insurance Company, do not guarantee nontaxability and will in no way be liable for any taxes or other liability incurred by a participant or anyone claiming through an employee.
