KEEP IN MIND

LOOK FOR AN EMAIL

In late September: Look for an email at your work address from “Alcatel-Lucent U.S. Benefits” with the subject line: “2015 U.S. Benefits: The Annual Open Enrollment Period Starts September 22, 2014.” Be sure to open and read it — it contains important information about your 2015 benefits and the annual open enrollment period.

YOU WILL NEED YOUR YBR PASSWORD

Remember:

You will need your YBR website password to access your personalized benefits information and to enroll. If you do not remember your password, you can request a new one through the YBR website. It can be sent to you by email, if you previously added your email address to the YBR website, or by U.S. mail. Through the mail, it may take up to 10 days to receive your password.

RETIREE MEDICAL COVERAGE SUBSIDY TO BE ELIMINATED

Certain former Lucent employees who retire on or after March 1, 1990 are currently eligible for a Company subsidy toward their Alcatel-Lucent-provided medical coverage. Effective January 1, 2015, this subsidy will be eliminated and thus will not be available to such current or future retirees. Employees who retire from Alcatel-Lucent will want to compare the cost of Alcatel-Lucent's retiree medical coverage with that of coverage through the health insurance marketplace provided under the Affordable Care Act (healthcare reform). Many retirees not eligible for Medicare may find that marketplace coverage is more affordable than medical coverage offered through the Alcatel-Lucent Plan, even if the Company subsidy were still available to them.
