Greetings! ProBenefits had some unusual guests in our office recently — a video crew. As you might imagine, benefits specialists are not accustomed to being in front of the camera, but I have to say I love how these short video clips turned out. We want you to get to know us and to remember what we value most about helping you with your benefits plan.  Here's Charles to tell you more about what we do best:

Our team is indeed currently very hard at work behind the scenes, preparing our new platform for your arrival. We're looking forward to showing you more of our best!

With appreciation, Gary Knight President

New Admin System: New Details Coming Soon! We'll be sending you important information very soon about our new platform. Watch your email for more details! Also, we have a new system information page on our website that we'll be updating with new information often. You can check there any time for the latest news! We also have one prior-year plan reminder for you, if your FSA plan year ended December 31st, 2018: Don't forget, you have until the end of March to submit claims with dates of service during 2018. 

Congrats to our winner! We’re happy to present one of our stainless steel Tervis tumblers to winner Lynda Wiley Wright! Congratulations to Lynda and thanks for following us on Facebook. Your cup is on the way!  Be sure to stay in touch with our Facebook and Instagram pages, where we share latest industry news and just might be giving away more goodies in the near future!  

Election Periods and the 30-Day Myth Is it true that an employee has 30 days after making an election as a new hire, or 30 days after open enrollment ends, in which to make a change to his or her election? As Charles mentioned in the video above, ProBenefits knows benefits administration inside and out, and we make sure to always do the right thing when it comes to creating and carrying out your benefits plan — including understanding the ins and outs of Section 125 plans, IRS rules and 30-day election windows.  Read our blog to learn more about the 30-Day Myth so that YOU are clear on this important part of your benefits plan. 

Team Member Spotlight: The benefit of Ty on your side

For example, he’s one of our resident thank you note writers who believes in the importance of personally thanking our clients for being a part of the ProBenefits family. If you see Ty out and about while he’s on the road, be sure to say hello!
