Acknowledgment Related to EA Benefits Plans


As an Employer Advantage client, you may have been participating in one or more of the following Employer Advantage benefits plans: Employer Advantage Welfare Benefit Plan (the “Plans”). Under the new relationship with G&A, you will continue to have access to the Plans. Down the road, you may gain access to additional benefits plans sponsored by G&A. The commission schedules for the Plans are listed below:

Dental Insurance: up to 2%

Life Insurance: up to 10%

Disability Insurance: up to 20%

Vision Insurance: up to 10%

Voluntary Life Insurance: up to 20%

If you would like to opt out of participation in the Plans, please let G&A know by June 30, 2022. If you would like your employees to continue participating in the Plans, no action is required on your part. If you continue to use EA/G&A’s services and EA/G&A does not hear from you by the date specified, it will be understood that you have decided to participate in the Plans and approved the benefit options made available to your employees under the Plans, as well as any associated premiums and contribution rates.

By accepting participation in the Plans, you understand that G&A Beneficial LLC (“G&A Beneficial”) is providing valuable services to the Plans and you approve G&A Beneficial’s receipt of certain commission revenue from the related insurance carrier(s) in exchange for providing these valuable services to the Plans (“Plan-Related Commissions”). The valuable services that G&A Beneficial provides include soliciting quotes, explaining various insurance products, conducting market analyses, interacting with insurance carriers regarding Plan design and cost, and other services as agreed to from time to time by you.

In addition, G&A Beneficial may become eligible for additional compensation from carriers, including overrides and bonuses, expense reimbursement, and other allowances. Each arrangement depends on a number of factors unique to each carrier, such as insured lives, technology and systems used to service clients, and programs and services provided by third parties and offered to clients. Any such arrangement is subject to change by the applicable carrier and may be negotiated each year. Given the number of variables that may impact such other compensation, it is not possible to determine exactly how much additional compensation G&A Beneficial may be eligible to receive.

You acknowledge and agree that you have exercised, and will exercise, independent judgment in reviewing and approving, on a prospective and annual basis, such Plan-Related Commissions. Prior to the start of each coverage period, G&A will disclose in writing the Plan-Related Commissions that G&A Beneficial expects to receive in connection with the Plan. To the extent you do not approve of G&A Beneficial’s receipt of such Plan-Related Commissions, you may elect to not participate in the Plan for the related coverage period. You understand and specifically concur that G&A Beneficial is providing valuable services to the Plan with respect to its day-to-day and ongoing administration of the Plan and that the Plan-Related Commissions may or may not exceed G&A Beneficial’s actual costs in delivering the services to the Plan. If you have any questions about the Plans or the attached fee and commission schedule, representatives from EA/G&A would be pleased to meet with you and your team in person or by phone.
