AI conversations often begin with the technology. The better place to start is with the business challenge.

When people think about using their FSA, they often think about year-end deadlines. But summer is full of healthcare purchases that may already be FSA-eligible — from allergy medication and contact lenses to first-aid supplies, sunscreen, and back-to-school eye exams. That makes this a great time for administrators to help employers keep FSA benefits top of mind. A quick reminder can encourage participants to use their pre-tax dollars for healthcare expenses they were already planning to incur, helping them get more value from their benefits while reducing the likelihood of last-minute surprises later in the year. Our latest blog shares practical ideas for seasonal FSA education and why consistent communication pays off for participants, employers, and administrators alike: https://lnkd.in/gFmDH4af #FSA #CDH #summertime #healthcare #taxsavings

The IRS has released the 2027 health savings account (HSA) limits — an important update for partners, employers, and benefits leaders preparing for the year ahead. For 2027, the HSA contribution limits are: 📌 $4,500 for self-only coverage 📌 $9,000 for family coverage 📌 $1,000 catch-up contribution for individuals age 55+ (remains unchanged) These modest increases give employees a bit more room to save tax-free for healthcare, and employers should reflect them in 2027 enrollment and contribution planning.
