Eligibility CATERPILLAR CONFIDENTIAL: GREEN

Eligibility Typically, your eligible dependents include your spouse and any dependent children who meet the eligibility requirements outlined in your Summary Plan Description (SPD) If your spouse or parent works for, or is retired from Caterpillar and you are currently a dependent on his or her healthcare coverage, your spouse or parent must contact the Caterpillar Benefits Center to remove you from his or her healthcare coverage in order for you to complete your enrollment process. Once you are eligible for benefits as an employee, you are no longer eligible to be enrolled as a dependent under another employee's coverage (unless you are a dependent child under age 26).

Refer to your summary plan description for the benefits that apply to you.)

Flexible Spending Account There are two types of accounts: Health Care Spending Account – used for medical, dental, prescription drugs, vision and hearing expenses not covered by health plans for you and your dependents Dependent Care Spending Account – used for expenses such as daycare for eligible dependents (you cannot use this account for dependent healthcare costs) Enrollment or changes to elections in Flexible Spending Accounts are not permitted after October 31 of each plan year
