Benefits by
life stage
No matter where you are on your life’s journey, BlackRock has
resources to help you thrive.

Starting your career


Now that you’ve entered the workforce, you have access to a wide range of benefits to boost your
well-being, from student loan tools to medical and dental insurance to gym discounts. And it’s never
too early to start saving for your future.

Raising a family
We’re here to support you and your growing family every step of the way. You’ll find plenty of
resources to help as you start your family, like flexible family-forming benefits and the tools you
need to keep your family flourishing, like backup care and student loan assistance.

Help when you need it. Care.com offers access to a


network of backup child care providers, and BlackRock
subsidizes the cost. Their family support services can also
help you juggle it all. See page 32.

Know where to go. Cariloop’s care concierge service can


guide you through the many decisions you need to make
when you’re caring for a loved one, from managing a
diagnosis to finding a care provider and paying for it. See
page 33.

Consider tax advantages. A Health Savings Account


(HSA), available with the Health Savings PPO medical
plans, lets you set aside money for future health care needs
with tax-free contributions, tax-free earnings and tax-free
withdrawals. See page 21.

Preparing for retirement


Established in your career and ready to start looking ahead at life after work? With assistance from
your BlackRock benefits, you can ensure that your future years are as golden as you’ve always
envisioned them.

Catch up on your savings. If you’re 50 or older, you can


stash away even more in your 401(k) plan (an additional
$6,500 a year). If you’re 55 or older, boost your Health
Savings Account (an additional $1,000 per year) with
catch-up contributions. See pages 6 and 21.

Take your financial pulse. An Ayco financial coach can


help make sure you’re still on track to reach your retirement
goals. See page 8.

Plan for a healthy retirement. Speak to a counselor


who can help you find the right Medicare supplemental
plan on the retiree medical exchange before you retire.

401(k) plan
BlackRock believes that the 401(k) plan is one of the best ways for you to save for retirement. And
with the money we contribute to your account, you’ll see your 401(k) savings grow even faster.
Because this is such a powerful savings vehicle, new hires will be automatically enrolled 30 days after
your start date at a pre-tax contribution rate of 8% of your eligible compensation,* in the target date
fund closest to when you turn 65. Then, we’ll automatically increase your contributions by 1% each
year on your enrollment anniversary, up to 15% of your eligible compensation.*

Special Enrollment Notice


If you decline enrollment in BlackRock’s health plan for you or
your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health
insurance coverage, you or your dependents may be able to enroll in
medical coverage under this plan without waiting for the next annual
enrollment period, provided that you request enrollment within 30
days after your other coverage ends.
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 eligible dependents, provided that you request
enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption or
placement for adoption.
BlackRock will also allow a special enrollment opportunity if you or
your eligible dependents either:
• Lose Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
coverage because you are no longer eligible, or
• Become eligible for a state’s premium assistance program under
Medicaid or CHIP.
For these enrollment opportunities, you will have 60 days — instead
of 30 — from the date of the Medicaid/CHIP eligibility change to
request enrollment in the BlackRock group health plan. Note that
this new 60-day extension doesn’t apply to enrollment opportunities
other than due to the Medicaid/CHIP eligibility change.
