Battelle Employees’ Savings Plan

Contact Vanguard Participant Services at 800-523-1188 or log in to your Vanguard retirement account for assistance with accessing your Battelle Employees’ Savings Plan account balance, reallocating your investments, requesting a withdrawal/rollover or setting up installment payments.

Beneficiaries: Your plan beneficiary designation supersedes your will regarding plan savings. Federal law requires that your employer distribute your savings to the beneficiary named in your plan. If you are married, or if you have a registered partner, your spouse (or registered partner) must consent to your beneficiary designation if you name someone other than your spouse (or register partner) as your primary beneficiary. Your spouse (or registered partner) will be required to sign a consent form and have it notarized.

To name a beneficiary or change your beneficiary information, log in to your Vanguard retirement account. Navigate to "Menu", "My Profile", then "Beneficiaries". When designating an individual as a beneficiary, you will need to provide that person's date of birth and either the person's mailing address or last four digits of their Social Security number. You may also designate a trust or your estate as a beneficiary.

Pension Plan

To commence pension payments under the PNNL Pension Plan, you must be 100% vested in the plan. Five years of vesting credits are required to be considered fully vested.

You can update your beneficiary designation, run an estimate of your pension benefit, or complete the process to commence pension payments through Fidelity by visiting netbenefits.com or calling 800-835-5095.

HAMTC Pension

If you have a vested HAMTC pension benefit you will need to contact Hanford Mission Integration Solutions (HMIS) at 509-376-0623 to request your pension estimate and election paperwork. Please complete the provided forms and return them directly to HMIS. We recommend contacting HMIS about three months before your desired retirement date.

Medical, Dental, and Retiree Direct Billing

If you enroll in the PNNL Retiree Network Only Plan, Retiree Dental Plan, and/or Retiree Basic Life Insurance, you will make your premium payments to PNNL’s direct billing administrator, Businessolver.

You will receive a direct billing packet from Businessolver approximately three weeks after your retirement date. You must remit your premium payments to Businessolver by the due date stated in the direct billing packet. The first of the month following your retirement date, log on to www.benefitsolver.com using the company key “Battelle.” Here you will find your account statement to make payments for your retiree insurance.

Your premium is due on the first day of each month and the grace period expires 30 days later. If you do not pay on or before the end of the grace period, your coverage ends on the last day for which your premium payment covered. Once coverage ends, you cannot re-enroll and you forfeit your PNNL HRA contribution eligibility when you become Medicare-eligible.

You will have the option to pay using automatic bank draft, check, or money order. Automatic bank draft is the preferred payment method. If you pay using automatic bank draft, the premium will be taken from your bank account on the fifth of each month. If you pay using check or money order, each payment must be postmarked on or before the end of the 30-day grace period.

Medicare

As you approach age 65 and become eligible for Medicare health coverage, it is important to understand the changes to your medical benefits and the actions you need to take.

Actions You Should Take
About three months prior to your 65th birthday, begin the process of enrolling in Medicare. Your effective date should be the first day of the month in which you turn 65 (or, if your birthday falls on the first day of the month, the effective date will be the first day of the prior month).

If you need assistance selecting a Medicare supplemental plan, ViaBenefits can help. Visit discover.viabenefits.com/pnnl for more information.

ID Cards

• Medical: If you enroll in the PNNL Retiree Network Only Plan, you will receive a new Anthem ID card approximately two weeks after you retire.
• Vision: Vision coverage is included in the PNNL Retiree Network Only Plan and will continue to be through VSP. You will not receive a vision card. Your provider will continue to use your personal information to verify coverage with VSP.
• Dental: If you enroll in the Retiree Delta Dental Plan, you will not receive a card. Your dentist will continue to use your personal information to verify coverage.
• Medicare: If you are eligible for Medicare and enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B, and a Medicare supplemental plan with Via Benefits, you will receive new medical and prescription plan ID cards in the mail from your new providers. Your new medical and prescription plan ID cards should arrive within three to four weeks after your retirement date. Make sure to notify your providers that you are now covered by Medicare.
