Subject: Important update regarding your TASC Plan
Dear FlexSystem Client:
We hope you have been happy with the value and benefits of TASC's service offerings, as
customer satisfaction remains our number one priority,
Unfortunately, as the market changes and the cost of doing business increases, we must
reevaluate our pricing policy in order to ensure our ability to provide quality services, in-house
compliance experts, and best-in-class technology systems.
Every year we conduct market assessments in addition to reviewing the annual Consumer
Price Index (CPI)from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. As a result of our 2016
assessment, it has been determined that a modest price adjustment above the normal CPI
increase will be applied to your FlexSystem Plan for 2017 (as detailed below):
Client Client Name Per Participant/Minimum Annual 2017
TASC ID Monthly Fee* Renewal Fee Increase**
4400- CITY OF $4.20/$702.08 $327 6.4%
0479-9060 1 DUBUQUE
*A Per Participant administration fee or a Minimum Monthly administration fee will apply to
your FlexSystem Plan.
**The annual CPI this year is 2.5% and is included in your increase detailed above.
Please Note:Any additional fees associated with your FlexSystem Plan (which normally
appear as separate line items on your invoices) are not listed above, as those fees are not
subject to this increase and remain unchanged from the previous billing period.
We hope you understand the necessity for this rate increase and will continue to enjoy the
value of our service offerings, which remain competitively priced.
Your satisfaction is important to us. If you should have any questions or concerns regarding
your rate increase, please contact TASC Customer Care at 1-800-422-4661.
We appreciate your continued business and look forward to serving you and your employees
into the next Plan Year ahead.
