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 our partnership with you.
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,

read it here
. It contains a link to our migrating employer transition guide, full of don't-miss details.
For employers with HSAs, we'll be sending out information to you very shortly.
If we provide COBRA administration services for you, you'll be getting a new, improved platform as well, in late summer. More details to come!
We're offering a webinar next Thursday, March 28th at 2 PM Eastern time to discuss the new platform. We'll send a webinar invitation soon, but you can

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
|
|
Meet
Operations Assistant Ty Rice
— Ty has been helping keep our office running smoothly for seven years. He might already be a familiar face to you, because he sometimes takes his big smile and friendly attitude on the road to employee benefits fairs, where he answers questions and hands out fun ProBenefits goodies. ProBenefits is a place that cultivates a culture of gratitude, and Ty lives that well as a member of our team. 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!
