Period or within 30 days (in some instances, 60 days) of experiencing a Qualifying Life Event. Also, you may not voluntarily drop
coverage during the plan year unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event that would allow for the removal of a dependent’s
coverage or the termination of coverage. For questions regarding these IRS-governed restrictions, please contact the benefits
department at 800 878 5520 or benefits@aquent.com.
Dental
Aquent offers the Cigna Dental (PPO) plan which covers preventive, orthodontic, basic, and major dental services. For basic
outpatient dental services, employees may see the dentist of their choice. The level of coverage varies depending on the type of
service. The annual dental maximum is $2,200 per member.

Aquent’s dental plan also includes the WELLNESSPLUS® Progressive Maximum Rewards Program. This incentive benefit
allows you gain an additional $100 each year to the maximum of $2,500 if you receive at least one cleaning the prior year under
Aquent’s dental plan.

For details, please refer to the Dental SPD, available at dayforcehcm.com or upon request from the benefits department. A

You can also contact Cigna Customer Service at
Your premiums and those of your spouse and/or child(ren) will be made on a pretax basis (substantially lowering your out-of-
pocket costs). As governed by the IRS, premiums for domestic partners are subject to imputed income and must be deducted
on a posttax basis. Note that only the domestic partner’s premium will be deducted posttax. Your premium equivalent will
continue to be withheld on a pretax basis.
Aquent subsidizes a portion of the weekly cost of medical and/or dental coverage for active Talent enrolled in the medical and/
or dental plan(s). For each hour worked per week, Aquent contributes $2.70 per hour toward medical and $0.18 per hour toward
dental premiums. Aquent’s contributions may not exceed weekly benefit premiums and are not available for cash-out. The
remaining balance of the weekly benefit cost, if any, is the employee’s responsibility and will be automatically deducted from the
employee’s weekly paycheck.
You will have the full weekly premium deducted from your paycheck each week under the deductions section. Under the
earnings section you will have the medical subsidy and/or dental subsidy amount applied based on hours worked. Any earnings
towards subsidy is taxable income. Your cost is the difference between the deduction amount and the subsidy amount.

EXAMPLE: Michelle earns $40,000 a year and is in the 28 percent incremental federal tax bracket. She takes her
children to day care every weekday, and she contributes the maximum annual contribution of $5,000 per year to her
Dependent Care FSA. This is what she will save by participating in the FSA.
This example assumes that Michelle will spend $5,000 on dependent care expenses during the coming calendar year. Column 1
reflects her spendable income with the FSA; column 2 reflects her spendable income without the FSA. The savings are considerable.
For this example, we assumed that Michelle pays 28 percent in federal, state, and local income taxes and Social Security taxes.
Your actual tax percentage could be higher or lower, based on your annual salary.
