Welcome to 2021
    Annual Enrollment!
    This year, our attention has been pulled in many directions as we’ve all rapidly adapted
    to the many challenges thrown our way.
    With the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, the current social and political
    environment, the economy and more, we hope you find some relief in knowing your
    benefits are here to support you.
    We recognize the last thing you need is something else to worry about. That’s why
    we’re enhancing your benefits in 2021. With minimal changes and only slight increases
    to medical per-paycheck deductions, you can focus your energy on making sure
    your coverage fits your and your family’s needs. As you review your 2021 coverage
    elections, be sure to consider any life events and family situations that might impact
    your benefits decisions.

         Visit your-ebenefits.com/prh today for the benefits information you need
         to get started, including coverage details, costs, enrollment information, and
         decision-making resources.

2021 Annual Enrollment
Annual Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to review and change your benefits
elections for the coming year. Any changes you make are effective January 1, 2021, and
remain in effect for the entire year unless you have a qualified life event.
If you do not actively enroll or make changes to your coverage during Annual Enrollment,
your 2020 benefits elections will roll over to 2021 at the same coverage level,
with one exception. If you contribute to a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), your 2020
elections will NOT carry over to 2021. You must re-enroll in FSAs each year.

                                                                                           3
