Hours determine eligibility, not need
Someone below the threshold still needs medical, dental, and protection coverage.
Beyond benefit eligibility
Not everyone fits inside traditional employee benefits.
Part-time, seasonal, reduced-hours, COBRA, and departing populations often sit outside plan eligibility while still needing personal coverage. Benefits Beyond Work can be the destination for those people.
Why this population matters
Eligibility rules leave real people out.
Hours thresholds, waiting periods, and employment classes are necessary for plan administration. They also mean a portion of the workforce has a coverage need and no plan to meet it.
COBRA is a decision, not an answer
People leaving coverage often want to understand what else exists before deciding.
Eligibility can change mid-year
A schedule change or leave can end coverage with little notice.
Qualification
Where we tend to fit best.
Benefits Beyond Work isn't the right resource for every organization. It may be particularly relevant when you have:
- A meaningful part-time or seasonal population
- Employees whose hours fluctuate across eligibility thresholds
- Recurring COBRA or eligibility-loss activity
- Dependents losing eligibility
- Workforces where people frequently move in and out of coverage
- A need for a personal coverage destination rather than a plan change
Industry, size, and geography don’t determine fit on their own. The presence of a meaningful transitioning population does.
Populations
Populations we can support.
We start with the population, not a product set. What's needed depends on what's changing.
- Part-Time
- Seasonal
- Reduced Hours
- COBRA & Coverage Transitions
- Loss of Benefit Eligibility
- Leaving Employment
- Other Non-Benefit-Eligible Populations
The support
How Benefits Beyond Work can help.
Some populations need education. Some need individual help. Many need both.
Personal healthcare options
Individual and family medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus supplemental options where appropriate. Availability varies by situation, carrier, and state.
Understanding what's ending
We start with what someone has today and what actually stops, before talking about replacements.
Protection where it matters
Life insurance and supplemental protection may need attention when workplace coverage ends.
Household view
A dependent losing eligibility may need a different solution than the employee.
Relevant solution areas
What tends to be relevant for this population.
Relevance matters more than filling a grid. Depending on the person's situation, one area or several may need attention.
Healthcare
PrimaryPersonal medical, dental, vision, and supplemental health options when workplace coverage isn't available, is changing, or needs additional support.
Legacy
SignificantLife insurance and protection review, beneficiary preparedness across financial accounts, and household benefit continuity as members and their families plan ahead.
Medicare
SituationalEducation and personal coverage guidance for Medicare-eligible members and households.
Retirement
SituationalInsurance-based retirement and income-protection solutions for members preparing for or living in retirement.
Portability & conversion
Before you replace it, can you keep it?
Some workplace benefits may include continuation, portability, or conversion options. Understanding those options first can help identify what actually needs to be replaced or supplemented.
Portability and conversion are transition considerations, not a separate solution area — and they are never guaranteed. Plan provisions control what is actually available.
Positioning
Built to complement the existing benefits ecosystem.
Nothing here changes your plan or its eligibility rules. Benefits Beyond Work simply gives the people outside those rules somewhere to go.
Relevant use cases
What this often looks like.
A seasonal crew
Workers outside eligibility need individual healthcare coverage for part of the year.
A schedule reduction
An employee drops below the hours threshold and loses coverage mid-year.
A dependent aging off
A dependent leaving the plan needs individual coverage.
