2024 Benefits Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment Is October 30 to November 13, 2023

It’s your once-a-year opportunity to enroll in or make changes to your Sonos benefits. Most of your current elections will carry over to 2024, except for any Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) elections — you need to re-enroll for those benefits every year. Take some time now to understand your benefit options and costs for the upcoming year.

Enroll by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on November 13, 2023. The benefits you elect will be effective January 1 – December 31, 2024.

At Sonos, our goal is to provide impactful and high-quality benefits for our employees. For 2024, largely due to inflation and COVID-19 impacts, benefit costs for all employers are rising much faster than other expenses. To mitigate rising costs, we negotiate with vendors annually to focus our benefit program investment on what matters most to you. For 2024, we'll continue to cover the majority of benefit costs. Deductions for medical coverage will increase modestly. Dental and vision deductions will not change.

During Open Enrollment, we encourage you to take time to carefully consider your benefit options for 2024. To make informed choices that align with your needs, use available decision support tools and the new self-service tool, ALEX Go (available October 30). With ALEX Go, you can also compare your spouse's medical plan with Sonos' offerings, to help you find the best fit. Be sure to have your spouse's plan details available when accessing the tool.

Here's a summary of what's new and changing for your 2024 benefits.

Employee Premiums

The amount you pay for medical coverage each paycheck will increase modestly in 2024. Dental and vision deductions will remain the same.

Tax-Advantaged Accounts (HSA, FSA)

The following contribution limits will increase for 2024:

• HSA: For employees with Aetna CDHP medical coverage, the annual HSA limits will be $4,150 for employee-only coverage and $8,300 for family coverage. If you’re age 55 or older, the annual catch-up contribution remains unchanged at $1,000.

• Health Care FSA/Limited Purpose FSA: The current $3,050 annual limit is projected* to increase to $3,200. If you enroll in an FSA for 2024, you can carry over up to $610 in unused 2023 funds into 2024 (these funds will be available in your 2024 account after March 31, 2024). You’ll be able to use your 2024 funds for expenses incurred January 1, 2024, through March 15, 2025. (* When this information was posted, the IRS had not yet announced the 2024 limit. The most up-to-date maximum will be reflected in Workday.)

Estimate your 2024 FSA expenses carefully! 2023 is the last year that you’ll be able to carry over unused Health Care/Limited Purpose FSA funds into the following year. When you choose your FSA election for 2024, you’ll be able to use funds for expenses incurred January 1, 2024, through March 15, 2025.

Supplemental Medical Plans

• Cost of coverage: There’s good news for our voluntary Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity Insurance plans — the cost of coverage will decrease and plans will be enhanced in 2024! If you’re already enrolled, your payroll deductions will be automatically updated starting in January.
• Accident Insurance:
• Emergency room, urgent care, and major diagnostic exam: Benefit increases to $150 for Low Option, $250 for High Option.
• Accident follow-up: Benefit increases to $75 for Low Option, $125 for High Option.
• Critical Illness Insurance:
• Childhood conditions: Coverage added, including cerebral palsy, cleft lip or palate, congenital heart defect, cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, sickle cell anemia, and spina bifida.
• Increased coverage: Benefits increase to 100% of the face value for your elected coverage amount for lupus, multiple sclerosis, loss of sight/speech/hearing, paralysis (quadriplegia, triplegia, paraplegia, hemiplegia, diplegia), coma, benign brain tumor, third-degree burns, muscular dystrophy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and persistent vegetative state.

Dental

Delta Dental will replace Cigna as our dental plan provider in 2024. Here’s what you need to know about the transition:

• The network is different: There is overlap between the Cigna and Delta Dental provider networks — but they are not the same. You’ll have access to an expanded network of dental providers through Delta Dental. However, some dentists that are currently in the Cigna network will NOT be in-network providers under Delta Dental. At the same time, some dentists that are currently NOT in the Cigna network will now be in-network providers under Delta Dental.
• If your provider is not in the Delta Dental PPO network, you can:
1. Choose a new dentist in order to receive the highest level of coverage, or
2. Continue using your same dentist, but know that you’ll pay more. Plus, some dentists may balance bill you for the difference between their billed amount, and the amount they receive from your insurance.

• Benefits coverage: You’ll continue to have the same coverage under Delta Dental as you do today through Cigna.
• Orthodontia lifetime maximum: If you’re currently in the middle of orthodontic treatment and you haven’t reached your lifetime maximum, you’ll need to provide information to Delta Dental. In order to access your remaining benefits, you’ll need to submit your Cigna Explanation of Benefits to Delta Dental, showing the orthodontic amounts paid to date by Cigna.
• Transition of care: If you're currently in the middle of an ongoing dental treatment, the claim will be paid by Cigna if dated before December 31, 2023, or by Delta Dental if dated on or after January 1, 2024.
• No ID cards: You will not receive a dental ID card. Instead, you can simply tell your dentist your name and the last four digits of your Social Security number when you schedule.

Mental Health

• Modern Health: This plan will no longer be available after December 31, 2023. Instead, Sonos will expand mental health services for the Employee Assistance Program, as described below. If you’re using a Modern Health provider today, you can continue to do so, but you’ll be responsible for the full cost.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): When faced with life’s challenges, sometimes we can all use a little extra support. That’s why Sonos is increasing the number of EAP counseling sessions to 12 per issue each year. Sessions are available in-person, by phone, by video, or through the Talkspace app. EAP services are provided by Aetna Resources for Living and are available to all Sonos employees and their household members, regardless of health insurance coverage.

Life and AD&D Insurance

Lincoln Financial will replace New York Life as the provider for our life and AD&D plans in 2024.

• Review your beneficiaries: Your current beneficiary designation will transfer to Lincoln Financial. However, Open Enrollment is the perfect opportunity to review your beneficiaries on file, and make updates as needed. Visit the People Help Knowledge Base to learn more.
• Optional coverages transfer automatically: If you’re currently enrolled in optional life or AD&D insurance for you, your spouse, or child(ren), your same coverage will transfer to Lincoln Financial in 2024. Your cost in 2024 will be the same as today.
• Enroll in optional coverage now and get automatically approved: During this enrollment period, you can enroll in (or increase your current coverage) up to certain levels with automatic approval:
• Optional employee life: Elect up to $300,000
• Optional spouse life: Elect up to $50,000
• Optional child life: Elect $10,000 in coverage, which covers all dependent children to age 26

Additional optional employee and spouse life coverage is available, but higher amounts are subject to medical underwriting approval.

Learn more about optional life insurance and paycheck costs.

Disability Plans

Lincoln Financial will replace New York Life as the provider for our disability plans. The cost of your disability coverage is fully paid by Sonos, so there’s nothing that you need to do at this time. If you need support in the future related to your disability benefits, Lincoln Financial will be your contact for claims assistance.

Life changes, times change, and people change. Instead of assuming you need the same benefits year after year, it’s best to reassess your situation and your available options on an annual basis. Here are some ideas to help get you started.

Use this checklist to make the most of your enrollment opportunity:

Explore these tools to learn about your benefit options:
• Cost of Coverage for 2024 (medical, dental, and vision)
• Medical Plan Comparison
• Estimate Costs with the ALEX Go tool (available October 30)
• Digital CDHP+HSA How-To-Guide
Consider your coverage needs for 2024, including how often you anticipate needing to access health care.
Make sure your dependent information is correct, all your dependents are still eligible, and correct coverages are listed.
Enroll in an FSA or HSA, if eligible — current elections do not carry over to next year. Reminder! You can transfer up to $610 of unused funds from your 2023 FSA into 2024 ONLY if you elect an FSA for 2024. If you don't, you’ll forfeit all unused 2023 funds.
Review your beneficiaries — it’s a good idea to review your beneficiary information for life/AD&D insurance and the 401(k) plan (especially if your personal circumstances have changed) and make updates, as needed. If a beneficiary is not designated for life and AD&D insurances, you will be unable to complete the enrollment process.
Check that your personal information is up to date in Workday, including your home address and other contact information.
