Override? How about lower taxes?
Override? How about lower taxes? The messaging of public schools is the funding for parents to choose the best educational option for their children is siphoning money from the district schools. That’s just not true! No money is taken — siphoned or otherwise — from public schools for this parental choice. The vouchers that allow parents to send their children to a school of their choice are funded from a different budget line.

5 ways to improve your HSA benefit information in a remote workspace

A recent survey found that one in every three adults enrolled in a HDHP did not have an HSA.

How the pandemic has shifted the benefits conversation
The benefits space is changing and there is currently a shift to “enviable benefits” – ones that go beyond traditional health and retirement coverage. Many companies, especially those still doing well during the economic downturn, have ramped up benefits communication about existing support programs such as telemedicine, financial well-being and childcare. This communication is vital for employees, so they know the full range of offerings available to them.
