What Issues Should I Consider With My Employer-Provided Benefits?
Overview
Employer benefits packages often include more than people realize, and more than people actually use. An employer match left uncaptured, or a disability policy never reviewed, can represent real money left on the table.
Because benefits elections typically only change once a year, during open enrollment, they're worth a deliberate annual review rather than defaulting to whatever was selected the year before.
