SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

This Request for Bids (“RFB”) is issued by the State of New Hampshire, Department of Administrative Services, acting through the Risk Management Unit, for the procurement of voluntary benefits as described herein.

A. BACKGROUND

The State of New Hampshire currently allows employees who work a minimum of 30 hours per week the ability to purchase voluntary benefits. Newly hired or newly eligible employees have a 30-day eligibility window in which to apply for these benefits. The effective date of coverage is the 1st day of the month following the completion of one full month of benefits eligible employment. If an employee does not enroll during their new hire eligibility window, the next opportunity to enroll is during the annual benefits open enrollment with an effective date of January 1st. These benefits are currently offered through Employee Benefit Management, Inc. (EBM), as a licensed insurance producer. Eligible employees have the option to enroll in one or all of the following voluntary benefits on a 100% employee paid after-tax basis:

Coverage Plan Amount

Voluntary Short Term Disability

$100 to $1,000 per week, up to 70% of gross weekly earnings (in $10 increments)

collected through payroll deduction are not put into arrears. It is each employee’s responsibility to make up missed payments outside of the payroll system through a mutual agreement with the producer. If a reimbursement is due to an employee, it is the vendor’s responsibility to refund the employee directly. Additional details on the benefits for the State are contained in the attached Plan Documentation.

The State currently has approximately 10,000 employees eligible for voluntary benefits. This population consists of both represented and unrepresented employees. Approximately 8,600 employees are represented by the State Employees’ Association of NH (SEA), SEIU Local 1984, NH Trooper’s Association, New England Police Benevolent Association (NEPBA), or Teamsters Local 633. These unions may provide access to voluntary benefits outside of the State’s benefits program. The current voluntary benefits enrollment by coverage in the State’s program is as follows:

Coverage Enrollment Voluntary Short Term Disability 1/8/26 175 Voluntary Short Term Disability 15/15/52 401 Critical Illness Insurance 42 Employee Accident Insurance 204

These enrollment numbers are for informational purposes only, and are not guaranteed to rollover into January 2016.

B. CURRENT ADMINISTRATION

EBM currently provides enrollment and administrative services for the voluntary short term disability, critical illness and accident insurance. Enrollment for these plans is currently handled through a paper enrollment process. During open enrollment and as requested by the State or by individual State agencies, EBM conducts on-site meetings to educate employees about how to elect these voluntary benefits. Paper enrollment forms are completed and returned to the respective vendors by the employees, Human Resource Representatives or by EBM for the short term disability, critical illness and/or accident insurance policies. From the enrollment information, EBM creates an electronic data file to be uploaded through the State’s FTP site.

EBM has been offering the State’s voluntary benefits through the following vendors:

Voluntary Short Term Disability –Trustmark since January 2012, prior Fort Dearborn as of 1999

Critical Illness Insurance –Transamerica since January 2012, prior Colorado Bankers as of 2006

Employee Accident Insurance –Boston Mutual, Inc. since January 2010, prior American Heritage as of 1999

Please see Appendix C for further details of plan administration being performed by EBM.

C. OBJECTIVE

The State is seeking bids from qualified vendors to provide administration and insurance producer services for the three voluntary benefits described in Section I.A above. The State will accept bids which may incorporate a partnership arrangement to accomplish this objective; however, the bid must be submitted by a single entity with the partner serving as a subcontractor (i.e., the State will only execute one contract as a result of this RFB). It is the intent of the State for bidders to duplicate the current coverages offered with the exception of proposed change to the Voluntary Short Term Disability program as outlined below.

Page 5: State of New Hampshire 2016-178.pdf · enrollment process. During open enrollment and as requested by the State or by individual agencies, State EBM conducts onsite m-eetings to educate

Any plan deviations must be noted on the deviations form provided. The State is interested in contracting with a qualified vendor that will offer a three-year contract commencing January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018.

D. PROPOSED VOLUNTARY SHORT TERM DISABILITY PLAN CHANGE

Effective January 1, 2016, the voluntary short term disability will contain an offset for other forms of compensation, such as sick time. Currently there is no offset.

E. OTHER SHORT TERM DISABILITY AND SICK PAY PLANS

The plans listed below are for informational purposes only, to make bidders aware of other programs available to State employees, and are not part of this RFB process. These are disability and sick leave programs offered to State employees in addition to the Voluntary Short Term Disability program mentioned above and included in this RFB. SICK LEAVE Currently, the State allows full-time employees to accrue sick leave. Represented employees accrue Sick Leave in accordance with their respective collective bargaining agreements. In addition to sick leave, each agreement outlines potential disability pay if the employee is required to be out of work beyond the accrued sick leave balances. These collective bargaining agreements can be found on the State of New Hampshire Human Resources web page under Labor Relations at the following link: http://das.nh.gov/hr/sea.html Please see Appendix C for further details. SHORT TERM DISABILITY INCOME PROTECTION Short Term Disability Income Protection is an employer paid, short term disability program that provides salary continuation to an eligible employee who needs to be out of work beyond their accrued sick leave balance. This program is only available to unrepresented full-time State employees of the Executive Branch or State employees represented by the NEPBA or Teamsters Local 633 (approximately 1,500 eligible participants). Eligibility for this program became effective June 1, 2014. An employee must meet the 30 day waiting period and “exhaust” sick leave balance, whichever is later. Please see Appendix C for further details.

DAVIS & TOWLE INSURANCE GROUP Prior to EBM, Employees had the option to enroll in voluntary benefits through Davis & Towle Insurance Group. Although this contract is closed to new enrollment, approximately 1,435 employees continue to pay premiums through payroll deductions. The State does not endorse the program and employees must contact Davis & Towle for existing benefit information. There is no further information available on the programs being offered and provided by Davis & Towle to that limited population.

It will then notify you that a request has been made, indicate what, if any, information the State has assessed is confidential and will not be released, and specify the planned release date of the remaining portions of the bid. To halt the release of information by the State, a bidder must obtain and provide to the State, prior to the date specified in the notice, a court order valid and enforceable in the State of New Hampshire, at its sole expense, enjoining the release of the requested information.

Further, RSA 9-F:1 requires that contracts stemming from RFBs be posted online. By submitting a bid you acknowledge and agree that, in accordance with the above mentioned statutes and policies, (and regardless of whether any specific request is made to view any document relating to this RFB), any contract resulting from this RFB that is submitted to G&C for approval will be made accessible to the public online via the State’s website.

CRITICAL ILLNESS INSURANCEUnderwritten by Transamerica Life Insurance Company, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

An Ounce of PreventionCritical illness lump-sum benefits, recurrent critical

illness benefits and cancer screening tests.

Critical Illness insurance is designed to provide you with benefits to help pay for critical health care needs. Your policy provides a lump sum benefit for certain critical illnesses and additional benefits when you are initially diagnosed with the following conditions: heart attack, stroke, paralysis, burns, end-stage renal failure, and surgery including heart transplant, coronary bypass, angioplasty/stent and major organ transplant.

You choose your benefit amount. Benefits are also available for your spouse and children. If you elect dependent coverage, their benefit amount will be 50% of the benefit you elect.

Critical Illness Lump Sum BenefitCriticalAssistance Plus pays you a lump sum benefit equal to the Benefit Election multiplied by the applicable percentage shown in the Schedule of Benefits upon the initial positive diagnosis1 for the first ever occurrence of a covered critical illness within each category. If the benefit payment is less than 100% of the selected benefit amount, we will pay a lump sum benefit amount upon the diagnosis of a different type of critical illness within the same category. The maximum lifetime benefit is three times the selected lump sum benefit amount.

Recurrent Critical Illness BenefitThis benefit pays a lump sum benefit equal to 50% of the Critical Illness Lump Sum Benefit amount for critical illnesses not eligible for the Critical Illness Benefit. For example: If you are diagnosed for the first time with a heart attack and then diagnosed with a subsequent heart attack more than 12 months later, the full benefit will be paid for the initial heart attack and 50% of the benefit will be paid for the subsequent heart attack.

The following wellness benefits do not require a diagnosis, but must be performed to determine whether cancer exists.

Cancer Screening Benefit The Cancer Benefit Rider (Category 3), pays $50 per covered person per calendar year for a covered cancer screening test.

SUMMARY OF THE 1996 NEW HAMPSHIRE LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION ACT (RSA 408-B) AND

NOTICE CONCERNING COVERAGE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

Residents of New Hampshire who purchase life insurance, health insurance, and annuities should know that the insurance companies licensed in New Hampshire to write these types of insurance are members of the New Hampshire Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association. The purpose of this Association is to assure that policyholders will be protected, within limits, in the unlikely event that a member insurer becomes financially unable to meet its policy obligations. If this should happen, the Association will assess its other member insurance companies for the money to pay the covered claims of policyholders who live in New Hampshire and, in some cases, to keep coverage in force. This protection is not a substitute for consumers' care in selecting companies that are well managed and financially stable. The valuable extra protection provided by these insurers through the Guaranty Association is not unlimited, however, as noted below.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

The New Hampshire Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association may not provide coverage for this policy. If coverage is provided, it may be subject to substantial limitations or exclusions and require continued residency in New Hampshire. Other conditions may preclude coverage.

Coverage is NOT provided for your policy or any portion of it that is not guaranteed by the insurer or for which you have assumed the risk, such as a variable contract sold by prospectus.

Insurance companies or their agents are required by law to give or send you this notice. However, insurance companies and their agents are prohibited by law from using the existence of the Association to induce you to purchase any kind of insurance policy.

This information is provided by:

New Hampshire Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association 47 Hall Street, Suite 2 Concord, NH 03301

Concord, NH 03301-7317 (603) 271-2261

SUMMARY:

The 1996 state law that provides for this safety-net coverage is called the New Hampshire Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act. Below is a brief summary of this law's coverage, exclusions and limits. This summary does not cover all provisions of the law; nor does it in any way change anyone's rights or obligations under the Act or the rights or obligations of the Association.

COVERAGE:

Generally, individuals will be protected by the New Hampshire Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association if they live in this state and hold a life or health insurance policy or an annuity contract, or if they are insured under a group insurance contract issued by a member insurer. The beneficiaries, assignees or payees of insured persons are protected as well, even if they live in another state. CD300530 Page 1

Page 48: State of New Hampshire 2016-178.pdf · enrollment process. During open enrollment and as requested by the State or by individual agencies, State EBM conducts onsite m-eetings to educate

Coverage provided under this Act may be different from coverage provided prior to 1996, as coverage is determined by the governing Act in effect on the date that the Association becomes obligated.

EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE: Persons holding such policies or contracts are NOT protected by this Association if: (a) they are not residents of the state of New Hampshire, except under certain very specific circumstances; (b) they are eligible for protection under the laws of another state; (c) their policy was issued by a nonprofit hospital or medical service organization, an HMO, a fraternal

benefit society, a mandatory state pooling plan, a mutual assessment company or any entity that operates on an assessment basis, an insurance exchange, or any entity similar to any of the above.

The Association also does NOT provide coverage for: (a) any policy or portion of a policy or contract not guaranteed by the insurer or under which the risk is

borne by the policy holder or contract holder; (b) any policy or contract of reinsurance, unless assumption certificates have been issued; (c) interest rate guarantees that exceed certain statutory limitations; (d) any plan or program of an employer, association, or similar entity to provide life, health, or annuity

benefits to its employees or members to the extent that the plan or program is self-funded or uninsured, including, but not limited to, benefits payable by an employer, association, or similar entity;

(e) dividends, experience rating credits, or fees for services in connection with this policy; (f) any policy or contract issued in this state by an insurer at a time when it was not licensed or

authorized to do business in New Hampshire; (g) any unallocated annuity contract issued to an employee benefit plan protected under the federal

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation; (h) any portion of any unallocated annuity contract which is not issued to or in connection with a specific

employee, union, or association of natural persons benefit plan or a government lottery; (i) any portion of a policy or contract to the extent that the required assessments are preempted by

federal or state law.

LIMITS ON AMOUNT OF COVERAGE: The Act also limits the amount the Association is obligated to pay. The Association cannot pay more than what the insurance company would owe under a policy or contract.

With respect to any one life, the Association will pay a maximum of $300,000 - no matter how many policies and contracts there were with the same company, even if they provided different types of coverages. Within this overall $300,000 limit, the Association will not pay more than $100,000 in cash surrender values, $100,000 in health insurance benefits, $100,000 in present value of annuities, or $300,000 in life insurance death benefits.

With respect to any one contract holder of an unallocated annuity contract, not including a governmental retirement plan established under Section 401, 403(b) or 457 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Association will pay a maximum of $5,000,000 in benefits, irrespective of the number of such contracts held by that contract holder.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Policyholders should contact the New Hampshire Insurance Department with questions they may have with regard to concerns about their rights under the Act and procedures for filing a complaint to allege a violation of the Act.

Policyholders may contact the New Hampshire Insurance Department for sources of information about the financial condition of insurers.

If such Application for Dependent coverage is not made within that 31-day period, the Spouse or Child will be considered a late enrollee and may be required to submit satisfactory Evidence of Insurability in order for coverage to become effective. If an employee or member and his or her Spouse are both eligible as an employee or member, the Children may be insured as Dependents of either the employee or member or his or her Spouse, but not both.

PREMIUMS Premium Calculation And Due Dates - The premium due will be the sum of the premiums applicable for all Insureds. You must pay the premiums to Us at Our Administrative Office.

Premium Rate Guarantee - These premium rates are guaranteed until the date shown on the Policy's cover page and are subject to the Change in Premium Rates provision. Grace Period - A Grace Period of 31 days will be allowed for each premium payment after the first premium. Coverage will stay in force during this time.

If such premium is not paid when due, the coverage will automatically be terminated as of the date the pro rata premium was due. Any partial payment of premium will be refunded.

Only Our President, Vice President, Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary can authorize a change in this Policy. Such an authorization must be in writing and signed by an officer.

POLICYHOLDER PROVISIONS Termination - This Policy will end on the earliest of the following events: 1. If You submit a 60-day advance written request to Us to terminate this Policy, this Policy will terminate on the

date specified in that request; 2. If We give a 60-day advance written notice to You that We intend to terminate this Policy, this Policy will

The cumulative Critical Illness Benefit paid within each Category will not exceed 100% of the Benefit Amount. Recurrent Critical Illness Benefit - A "Recurrent Critical Illness" is a covered Critical Illness that is not eligible for payment under the Critical Illness Benefit. If a Covered Person is diagnosed with a Recurrent Critical Illness, We will pay a lump sum benefit equal to 50% of the Benefit Amount multiplied by the applicable percentage shown in the Schedule of Benefits, subject to any applicable maximum benefit payment limitation, provided that the positive diagnosis is made after the Effective Date and while this Certificate is in force.

The total Recurrent Critical Illness Benefit paid within each Category will not exceed 50% of the Benefit Amount. Lifetime Maximum Benefit - The total benefits paid under this Certificate, including any attached Riders, will not exceed the Lifetime Maximum Benefit listed in the Schedule of Benefits for each Covered Person.

We may reduce or deny a claim or void the Certificate for loss incurred by a Covered Person during the first 2 years from the Effective Date of such coverage for any misstatements in the Application which would have materially affected Our acceptance of the risk. Pre-Existing Condition Limitation - No benefits are provided during the first 6 months for any Critical Illness that has been diagnosed, treated, or for which the Covered Person has incurred expense or has taken medication within 6 months prior to the Effective Date of such person's coverage.

PREMIUMS All premiums are payable on or before the date they are due. We have the right to change the premium rates on any premium due date in accordance with the terms of the Policy. If the rates are changed, We will give at least a 31-day advance written notice to the Policyholder, or to You if the Portability Option is in effect. If an increase takes place on other than a premium due date, a pro rata premium for the increase will be due on the next premium due date. The pro rata premium will be for the period from the date of the increase to the next premium due date. If such premium is not paid when due, the coverage will automatically be terminated as of the date the pro rata premium was due. Any partial payment of premium will be refunded. If the premiums increase because a change in benefits increases Our liability, premium rates may be changed on the date that Our liability is increased, without regard to any premium rate guarantee.

TERMINATION OF INSURANCE Subject to the Portability Option, Your insurance will cease on the earliest of: 1. The last day of the payroll deduction period during which You cease to be eligible for coverage; 2. The end of the last period for which premium payment has been made to Us; 3. The last day of the payroll deduction period during which You terminate employment; 4. The date the Policy terminates; or 5. The date You send Us a written notice that You want to cancel coverage. The insurance on a Dependent will cease on the earliest of: 1. The date Your coverage terminates; 2. The end of the last period for which premium payment has been made to Us; 3. The date the Dependent no longer meets the definition of Dependent; 4. The date the Policy is modified to exclude Dependent coverage; or 5. The date You send Us a written notice that You want to cancel Your Dependent's coverage. We will have the right to terminate the coverage of any Covered Person who submits a fraudulent claim under the Policy.

PORTABILITY OPTION

If You lose eligibility for this insurance for any reason other than nonpayment of premiums, You will have the option to continue this Certificate (including any Riders, if applicable) by paying the premiums directly to Us at Our Administrative Office within 31 days after Your insurance terminates. We will bill You for these premiums after You notify Us to continue this coverage. If You stop paying the premiums under this option, this coverage will continue, subject to the terms of the Grace Period. All Dependent coverage terminates the date Your coverage terminates for any reason.

CLAIMS PROVISIONS Claim Forms - Claim forms should be used for filing Proof of Loss. We will send such form to the claimant within 15 days of receipt of notice of claim. If We fail to supply the proper claim forms within 15 days, You can give proof in writing, setting forth the nature and extent of the loss within the time stated in the Proof of Loss Provision.

Payment of Claim Benefits - All benefits payable under the Policy will be paid to You. Any benefits that are not paid at Your death will be paid to Your Spouse, or if there is no Spouse, then to Your estate.

Physical Examinations and Autopsy - We have the right to have a Covered Person examined by a Physician of Our choice as often as reasonably necessary while a claim is pending. We will pay for such examination. In case of death, We may request an autopsy where it is not forbidden by law. Proof of Loss - Satisfactory written Proof of Loss must be given to Us at Our Administrative Office. In case of a claim for loss for which a periodic payment is provided contingent upon continuing loss, such satisfactory written Proof of Loss must be sent within 90 days after the termination of the period for which We are liable. For any other loss, proof must be sent within 90 days after the date of such loss. Failure to furnish such proof within such time will not invalidate nor reduce any claim if it was not reasonably possible to furnish such proof and that it was furnished as soon as it was reasonably possible.

GROUP BENEFITS DISCLOSURE POLICY

Transamerica Employee Benefits (TEB) is a marketing division of Transamerica Life Insurance Company and Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company. TEB markets and administers voluntary insurance benefits through a network of licensed insurance agents. These agents are typically appointed to sell our products, and products of other providers, and receive various forms of compensation from us for the services provided. We believe our compensation arrangements with our agents have been conducted with honesty, fairness and integrity. In addition, we realize that having trusted relationships between our agents and our customers is essential to all involved. To ensure this trust continues and to address any concerns within the industry, we recently outlined our policy on agent compensation disclosure.

TEB’s policy supports transparency and full disclosure of agent compensation to our customers and prospective customers. In addition, we have put controls in place to facilitate this disclosure and obligate our agents to disclose compensation information to customers: 1) when asked by a customer; 2) when receiving both a fee from the customer and compensation from TEB; and 3) when otherwise required by law. Agents must comply with all applicable laws in the sale of TEB products, including any pertaining to the disclosure of compensation information.

TEB’s Group Benefits Compensation Disclosure Notice (below) describes the various means by which agents may be compensated for the sale of our products. It is the responsibility of your agent to share with you, specific information surrounding his or her compensation arrangements with TEB. Accordingly, please direct any compensation disclosure questions directly to your agent. COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE NOTICE TO ALL POLICYHOLDERS

Agents selling and servicing our products are paid a commission, which varies by the type of insurance policy sold and the state where the policy was sold, and is based on a percentage of the premium received in the first year, and at policy renewal. Agents may receive advances or loans against anticipated commissions for cases sold or to be sold. These advances may or may not require the payment of interest, depending upon the agent’s total business and historical experience with TEB.

Agents may receive other compensation in the form of cash or non-cash awards or prizes, based upon a variety of factors that may include the level of premium written or earned, persistency and growth of premium, or other performance measures. Agents who manage, supervise or recruit other agents or wholesale our products and services to other agents, may receive commission overrides on business that results from their efforts.

Some of our agents may receive additional payments for administrative services provided to our benefit plans. Fees for these services may be calculated on a per policy or per certificate basis or upon the premium volume associated with a specific case. TEB may additionally reimburse these agent/ administrators for certain expenses, such as the cost of mailings.

Agents may occasionally obtain exclusive rights to market TEB products or services to agents, employers, employees or association members. Certain groups or associations may also agree to endorse TEB’s products to their members. TEB may pay a fee for these exclusive marketing rights or endorsements. See your proposed plan documents or policy certificate package for more information on any such arrangements.

For up to date information regarding our compensation practices, please consult our website at: www.transamericaemployeebenefits.com.
