Connect your workplace benefits and savings
Have you ever thought about your workplace retirement plan when selecting your voluntary benefits during open enrollment? Do you consider the potential impact your other benefits could have when you are choosing them? While these may be separate products with distinct goals, and plan documents and policies, it can be useful to consider their potential impacts on your life both now and into the future. Having the right coverage today could potentially help you in the future when the expected happens and you don't have to dip into your savings.
Read on to learn more about the types of products and coverage that could be available to you through your employer.*

Health Savings Account
- An account that you can contribute to on a pre-tax basis through payroll deduction, and use to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses while reducing your taxable income. You must have a high-deductible health plan to be eligible to contribute to an HSA.
- Your pre-tax dollars are not “use-it-or-lose-it.” Your balance carries over each year and can be invested once it reaches a certain amount.
Benefits
Flexible Spending Account
- There are three types of FSAs to help employees manage health, dental, vision and/or child care expenses: Health FSA, Limited Purpose FSA and Dependent Care FSA. Put aside pre-tax dollars to help pay for eligible expenses.
