Cigna has advised they will provide WPATH compliant coverage for all plans. For more information on their coverage, please see the coverage policy document. For Cigna to provide coverage, medical necessity must be proven. It is highly recommended to go through the prior authorization process when seeking treatment.
Please reach out to the Total Rewards team and WTW with any questions or if you need help while seeking authorization for a treatment.
Potential joiners who do not have a myCigna account yet can search for providers on the Cigna Website. When selecting a plan everyone at GitLab (PPO, EPO, and HDHP members) will use the OPEN ACCESS PLUS selection, except for Utah members, who will use the PPO option.
Team Members and potential joiners can also reach out to the Cigna One Guide service to check if their doctors are in-network and walk through the GitLab plans with a Cigna rep.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
As an additional measure to confirm “Contracted Providers” (i.e. In-Network), it’s always a good idea to follow up with Providers directly (phone, email or otherwise) to additionally confirm if a Provider is contracted with Cigna or not and if the type of service is covered. In some instances, the same provider may be covered In-Network for certain types of services, but may be Out-Network for other services. Provider contracts change and sometimes the contracts change faster than the website maintenance teams for the insurance carriers. It's better to spend time researching and confirming rather than assuming and being stuck with balance billing from Out of Network providers. Balance billing is if the Out of Network provider's charge is $100 and the carrier’s maximum allowed reimbursement (MAR) amount is $70, the provider is within rights to bill you for the remaining $30. A “Cigna Contracted Provider” cannot balance bill Cigna members.
Virtual visits for Cigna members can be accessed by visiting myCigna, selecting "Find Care & Costs" and scrolling down to the bottom of the page.
Benefits for services and supplies received outside the Service Area are covered only for medical emergencies and other urgent situations where treatment could not have been reasonably delayed until the insured person was able to return to the United States

GitLab Process for Disability Claim
Short-Term Disability Claim Process via NYLife
dallasfco.intake2@cigna.comand TeamArakeliansMailbox@Cigna.com.GitLab team members in the United States are eligible for a complementary Employee Assistance program as a result of enrollment in the long-term disability plan through Cigna, dependents who are enrolled in a Cigna coverage are also eligible. More information can be found online on myCigna for the following topics: Emotional Health and Family Support, Home Life Referrals, Financial and Legal Assistance, Job and Career Support, and other topics.
The company offers a 401k plan in which you may make voluntary pre-tax contributions toward your retirement.
support@betterment.com. There is also a Help section on the Betterment site.total-rewards@gitlab.com. Total Rewards is not able to advise you on your financial decisions.GitLab offers matching 50% of contributions on the first 6% of allocated gross earnings per pay period with a yearly cap of $1,500 USD. If a hypothetical team members salary is $50,000 USD, their gross pay per period is $50,000 / 24 = $2083.33. This is then matched at a rate of $2083.33 * 6% * 50% = $62.50.
As of 1 August, 2022 GitLab has removed the vesting schedule for the employer match. All prior employer match amounts have fully vested as of 1 August, 2022, new employer match contributions will automatically vest when received.
As you are eligible to participate in GitLab's 401k as of your hire date, you are also eligible for GitLab matching contributions as of your hire date.
All employer contributions are pre-tax contributions. Team members can still make Roth 401(k) team member contributions and receive pre-tax employer contributions to your Traditional 401(k) account.
Administration of the 401(k) Match:
If you leave GitLab and would like to rollover your 401(k) account, contact Betterment directly to get more information about this process. If you are needed to locate your account number, you can find it by clicking Settings and then Accounts. You can reach Betterment, by Chat in the app, by phone at 855-906-5281, and by email at support@betterment.com. They also have a Rollovers section on their site going into detail.
The 401(k) Committee meets on a regular cadence with Betterment to review how the plan is doing as well as updates from the Betterment investment team. The Committee Members are:
Chief People Officer Principal Accounting Officer Director, Total Rewards Director, Treasurer Note: Chief Legal Officer will serve as an committee observer.
If you are enrolled in a Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) or commuter benefits, the funds are held through WEX (Discovery Benefits). After your benefit enrollment effective start date, create an account with WEX (Discovery) to manage your funds. You will only receive one debit card upon enrollment. To obtain a second card (for a dependent, etc.) you will need to login to your account on WEX (Discovery) or call and they will send one to your home of record.
GitLab contributes $100 per month for those enrolled in the HSA.
If you would like to transfer your HSA from a previous account, please contact WEX (Discovery) and request a HSA Transfer funds form. On the form you will put your old HSA provider’s account number and any other required personal information. You will then submit the form to WEX (Discovery), and they will get in contact with your old HSA provider and process the transfer of funds. You can reach WEX (Discovery) at 866.451.3399 or customerservice@discoverybenefits.com.
If you would like to adjust your HSA contributions please log into [PlanSource](https://benefits.plansource.com/.
HSAs roll over completely year-to-year and are 'owned' by the team member. If you leave GitLab and would like to keep your HSA account, GitLab will no longer be responsible for the administration fee. The account holder will become responsible for the $2.50 per month admin fee.
Domestic Partner Reimbursements: If the team member is not legally married to their domestic partner, the domestic partner's expenses are not eligible for disbursement from the HSA. However, if the domestic partner is covered under the family HDHP through the team member, the domestic partner can open their own HSA and contribute up to the full family contribution maximum. The team member may also contribute up to the full family contribution maximum to their own HSA.
FSAs help you pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care and dependent day care expenses on a pretax basis. You determine your projected expenses for the Plan Year and then elect to set aside a portion of each paycheck into your FSA. FSA contributions can only be updated during open enrollment or through a qualifying life event (QLE).
FSAs typically have a $550 rollover each calendar year. This is subject to change as dictated by the IRS. Due to COVID legislation, the IRS is allowing for unlimited carryover of FSA funds from 2021 to 2022. Starting in 2022 the IRS increased the FSA rollover amount to $570.
In 2023 the maximum salary deferral contribution has increased to $3,050 USD, with the maximium rollover amount increasing to $610 USD
FSAs are employer-owned accounts. If you leave GitLab, your FSA account will be terminated on your date of termination unless you continue this through COBRA. You are able to use your full FSA amounts up to and on your last day, but not afterwards unless you enroll into COBRA. WEX (Discovery) asks that all claims be submitted up to 90 days after termination date. You can enroll into COBRA FSA if you have spent less out of your account than you have contributed to it. If you decide to enroll, you will be required to continue making your monthly contributions on a post-tax status. For additional information, please reach out to WEX (Discovery) at 866.451.3399 or customerservice@discoverybenefits.com.
FSAs (and Dependent Care FSAs) are subject to annual testing by the Internal Revenue Code guidelines to ensure the pre-tax benefits do not disproportionately benefit highly compensated employees. At the end of each plan year, GitLab will work with WTW to conduct the nondiscrimination testing. If a test returns that highly compensated employees benefit, you may not be able to pre-tax the full amount of your election. This can vary each year and is based upon the dollar amount of non-highly compensated employees’ elections.
Up to 90 days after the plan year has concluded (also known as the runout period).
Due to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, the IRS is allowing for unlimited carryover of FSA funds from 2021 to 2022 and an extended grace period of 12 months to utilize Dependent Care FSA funds from 2021 on expenses incurred in 2022. GitLab has opted into this with our vendor, WEX, to allow team members to take advantage of this and no action is required from team members.
GitLab offers commuter benefits which are administered through WEX (Discovery Benefits).
In 2022 the contribution limits are $280/month for parking and $280 per month of transit. In 2023 the contribution limits are $300/month for parking and $300 per month of transit. These contributions rollover month to month.
For active employees: Up to 180 days after plan year has concluded (also known as the runout period).
For terminated employees: Up to 90 days after the termination date.
Effective 2022-10-01, GitLab offers a TravelHealth Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) benefit to reimburse eligible team members and their dependents for transportation and lodging expenses related to travel while obtaining medical care not offered within 100 miles of the location the member resides.
To be eligible for the Travel HRA benefit, team members and their dependents must be enrolled in one of the Cigna Medical Plans. Navia Benefit Solutions administers the HRA benefit.
The HRA Benefit is split into a pre-tax account, in which team members can receive reimbursement of up to $2,100 USD for eligible pre-tax travel expenses, and a post-tax account of $900 USD for eligible travel expenses that exceed the pre-tax travel limits.
Please see the HRA Summary of Benefits and Coverage document for information on coverage and the Navia Navigation Guide for information on claim eligibility and how to submit claims. Additional details can be found in our Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) FAQ
To access the benefit, eligible team members can create an account on the Navia Portal, first time users will click the Register button in the top right corner of the page.

Reminder! review and accept the Terms and Conditions. After clicking Submit for online access, you will receive an email confirmation with a temporary link to set your password to complete your registration.
If you are a newly hired GitLab Team Member, please allow 1 month following your start date to access the portal. Should you require access to the portal earlier, please contact Total-Rewards@gitlab.com. Once you have access to the portal you can submit a claim directly with Navia, and view plan documents.
Team members who wish to elect additional life insurance above what is provided by GitLab through the Basic Life Insurance or elect life insurance for their dependents, can elect Voluntary Life Insurance through Cigna.
If you elect supplemental life insurance greater than the guaranteed issue of voluntary life insurance for yourself or dependent, you or your dependent may be required to complete an evidence of insurability (EOI). If required, you will be prompted and provided with the form during the enrollment process and can also access it here.
Please complete this form to the best of your ability, but if you're unsure for any field, please leave it blank. No information needs to be filled out for the ID # field and for security, you may also leave the Social Security Number field blank.
Once complete, please send the form to total-rewards@gitlab.com. The Total Rewards team will then help fill in any missing information, if applicable, and will forward to the carrier for review. Total Rewards will confirm receipt of the EOI with the carrier, track its status, and the team or the carrier will reach out to the team member with any issues that need to be addressed in order for the EOI to be approved.
If you leave GitLab, all supplemental life insurance is not included in COBRA and will terminate on your last day at GitLab unless you choose to continue your or your spouse/children's life insurance directly with the carrier. Please contact the carrier (Cigna) for more information on premiums and setting this up.
US team members have access to a discount platform offered through ADP. This platform provides discounts for national and local brands and services.
To access LifeMart through ADP:
The Family Medical Leave Act FMLA provides eligible U.S team members up to 12-weeks, or up to 26- workweeks (in one 12 month period to care for an injured service member), unpaid time away from work for their own serious health condition, to care for a family member with a serious health condition, or to bond with a newborn or newly adopted child. FMLA eligible leave time can be taken in continuous segments or intermittently as certified by a physician. If FMLA is used to bond with a child, or newly adopted child, all eligible time must be used prior to the child’s first birthday or date of adoption. For more information please see Employee Rights Under the Family Medical Leave Act.
Team members must have 12 months of continuous service and 1250 hours worked in the year immediately before the start of their leave to be eligible for FMLA leave. Working hours are calculated as actual hours worked and does not include PTO or vacation time. GitLab calculates FMLA eligibility as a “rolling” 12-month period measured backward from the date of any FMLA leave usage. (Each time a team member takes FMLA leave, the remaining leave is the balance of the 12 weeks not used during the 12 months immediately before the FMLA leave is to start.)
All FMLA entitled leave will run concurrently with any State specific leave or pay program (if applicable), GitLab's PTO and sick leave policies (including COVID leave), and/or Short-Term disability benefits. GitLab’s extended 25-day “don’t ask, must tell” PTO policy can not be used to delay, extend, or in lieu of FMLA.
Any medical related absence (for yourself or a family member) requiring you to be away from work for 5 or more calendar days (either continuously or non-continuous but related to the same condition) must be reported to leaves@gitlab.com. You will be contacted within 24-48 business hours (whenever possible) and provided with information regarding your request. If approved, please submit your time away via PTO by Deel request utilizing the Out Sick option.
The Absence Management team will review the team members eligibility for Short-Term Disability benefits, State pay benefits, and/or GitLab's Sick Time policy, and will communicate how the team member can expect to receive their pay while on leave.
