YOUR DENTAL OPTIONS
The Vought Aircraft dental plan options available in your
area may include:
- Dental Care
- Dental Care Plus
- Preventive (Note: Preventive is default coverage if you
do not make any coverage election)
- CIGNA Dental Health (includes orthodontia benefits)
- No coverage (if you opt out of the plan).
The options differ in the level of benefits, the cost of
coverage, and the way you receive dental care.
You may select dental coverage when you are hired or during
the Annual Enrollment period. Generally, the dental plan option
that you select for yourself and your family stays the same
for the full benefit plan year.
The Annual Enrollment period is the only time you can change
your dental plan option - unless you move to an area where
your option is not offered or if you have a qualified change
in status.
If you select no dental coverage - or opt out of the Vought
Aircraft dental plan - you must submit a waiver of coverage
form.

COVERAGE CATEGORIES
The dental plan options offer the same coverage categories
as the Vought Aircraft medical plan options:
- Employee only
- Employee + child(ren)
- Employee + spouse
- Employee + family (employee, child[ren], and spouse)
- No coverage.
If you select medical coverage, you may choose a different
coverage category for dental than you choose for medical.
For example, you can cover only yourself in the medical plan
while covering yourself, your spouse, and your children in
the dental plan.

CHANGING YOUR OPTIONS
Your dental selection stays in effect for the full benefit
plan year. The benefit plan year begins July I and ends June
30. You may add or cancel coverage or change your dental plan
option if you have a qualified change in status. You have
31 days after a qualified change in status to change your
coverage. Remember, the change must be consistent with the
event.
