PART I – THE SCHEDULE

SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), headquartered at 400 7th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20219, is a non-appropriated federal financial regulatory bureau of the Department of the Treasury. OCC charters, regulates, and supervises national banks, including supervision of federal branches and agencies of foreign banks. It employs approximately 3,959 employees of which approximately 1,000 employees are located at its headquarters facility. Other OCC employees work in approximately 70 cities nationwide with primary locations in Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston and New York.

OCC has approximately five (5) employees stationed in its London, England office.

C.2 BACKGROUND

The OCC is unique from most other federal government agencies because it has independent authority to offer its employees compensation and benefits not offered by other agencies. Any reference to “employees” in this Statement of Work (SOW) or otherwise, means OCC and Office of Financial Research (hereinafter “OFR”) active employees.

The OCC, as a governmental plan, is specifically exempted from Title I of The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

The Contractor is to provide services in accordance with this SOW regardless of the actual amount of services or fluctuation in services. Any information in this SOW regarding estimated or historical services is strictly to aid the Contractor in understanding the requirements associated with the SOW and in submitting an appropriate proposal.

C.3 SCOPE OF WORK

The OCC seeks an experienced and qualified Contractor to provide vision care insurance services to OCC and OFR employees, OCC disabled retirees, and eligible family members.

In addition, the Contractor shall:

• Support OCC wellness initiatives by collaborating with the OCC Wellness Coordinator on ways to promote healthy eye care for employees and their eligible family members. The Contractor shall support OCC’s wellness fairs (no more than one per year) at its headquarters location in Washington, DC. At a minimum, the Contractor shall secure a vendor to provide wellness demonstrations or screenings.

• Attend an onsite, one-day, health benefits fair during OCC’s annual benefits open season period. Open season is held over a four-week period between the months of November and December. The health benefits fair is held at OCC’s headquarters location in Washington, DC and the Contractor is required to attend and provide program materials.

• Prepare a vision program Administration Manual that describes, at a minimum, the enrollment, invoicing, and claims processes. This includes the claims submission requirements and the dispute process for denied claims. The manual shall include both the responsibility of the Contractor as well as that of the OCC.

The Contractor shall provide the OCC a copy of the manual in electronic format.

• Provide vision program materials in electronic form (preferably in a fillable .pdf) for posting on OCC’s intranet for employee use.

C.3.2 Eligibility

The OCC will determine eligibility of benefits for employees. The OCC will permit all full-time and part-time employees with an offer of employment that is expected to last for more than one year to participate in the vision program. Employees will have the option, within the first 31 days of their date of hire, to enroll their eligible family members. Then, if the employee experiences a qualifying life event resulting in the addition of an eligible family member or family members, the employee will be permitted to enroll their newly eligible family members within 31 days of the qualifying life event. If employees fail to enroll eligible family members within the specified timeframe of their initial eligibility, then employees will be permitted to enroll eligible family members during OCC’s annual open season. Employees will be permitted to cancel the coverage of an eligible family member at any time without having to experience a qualifying life event.

Below is a chart that defines eligible family members of OCC employees.

Eligible Family Members

OCC Definition

Spouse A lawful spouse or domestic partner of the same-sex or opposite-sex

Child An unmarried person under the age of 22 who is the employee’s natural offspring, stepchild, foster child, legally adopted child, child under guardianship, or child of his/her domestic partner

Student A child who is above age 22 but under age 25 who is enrolled in a college degree program and attending on a full-time basis

Disabled Child A child with a disability that began before attaining age 22 who is incapable of self-support and has been certified as disabled by a county, state or federal entity or through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.

Other than eligible employees actively employed by the OCC and OFR and their eligible family members, the Contractor shall include as a covered class OCC employees from the federal government on a disability retirement.

C.3.3 Enrollments and Effective Dates

The Contractor shall make available to OCC employees an online enrollment application that will allow the employee to complete an enrollment application during the employee’s first 31 days of eligibility. The enrollment application must generate an email confirmation notice to the employee after the employee has completed the enrollment application. Employees who wish to enroll newly eligible family members (mid-year changes) as a result of a qualifying life event will be required to initiate that type of enrollment change through the OCC. Employees are allowed 31 days from the date of the qualifying life event to notify the OCC of the newly eligible family member and to provide supporting documentation of the qualifying life event. The Contractor shall allow the OCC the functionality to update the eligibility of dependents as a result of a qualifying life event. The OCC shall be granted the ability to add, terminate, and update dependent data on an ongoing basis.

It is not required, but it is desirable, that the Contractor’s online enrollment capabilities have a self-service feature that will allow employees the ability to cancel a family member’s eligibility at any time and to add eligible family members only during OCC’s annual open season.

Below is a chart that identifies the enrollment opportunities and the corresponding effective date of the enrollment or change.

Enrollment Opportunity Description Effective Date Newly Hired or Newly Eligible

A newly hired employee or an employee who has a change in their employment status that makes them eligible for vision coverage for the first time. Employee has 31 days from the date of first eligible to enroll.

1st of the month following the date the employee submitted required documentation to the

OCC

Annual Open Season Generally, a four-week period during the months of November and December each year when employees can add eligible family members without providing any documentation. OCC will announce the period annually.

January 1st

In order to provide another level of protection of an employee’s Personal Identifiable Information (PII), the Contractor shall provide a mechanism to assign an ‘alternate identifier’ as the employee’s vision ID number instead of the use of the employee’s social security number for benefit purposes.

C.3.4 Coverage Ineligibility

Coverage eligibility for an employee whose employment terminates for any reason will end on the date the employee terminates. For family members who become ineligible for coverage (i.e., divorce, dissolution of domestic partnership, child aging out, getting married, or no longer certified as a full-time student) their eligibility will end on the date they no longer meet OCC’s eligibility requirements. For family members whose eligibility has been voluntarily terminated by the employee, their coverage will end at the end of the month in which the employee initiated the cancellation of coverage. OCC is responsible for providing this information to the contractor.
