Eligibility varies by client
Hours thresholds, waiting periods, and classes differ, so the outside-the-plan population differs.
PEOs
Across your client organizations, employees may be part-time, seasonal, approaching Medicare, working beyond 65, preparing for retirement, or moving beyond workplace coverage.Benefits Beyond Work™ provides a scalable downstream resource for appropriate transitioning populations.
If these transitions are showing up across your population, Benefits Beyond Work may be a useful resource.
Why this transition matters
Across client organizations, different workforce populations may encounter Medicare eligibility, retirement, changes in hours, loss of eligibility, or transitions away from workplace coverage. Each one can create individual decisions.
Hours thresholds, waiting periods, and classes differ, so the outside-the-plan population differs.
Support has to work across geographies, which is where a virtual model helps.
Even at scale, Medicare timing and personal coverage decisions happen one household at a time.
How we help
Rather than a different answer for each client situation, you get one consistent place to send transitioning populations. Designed to provide structured support for populations whose coverage needs may extend beyond traditional benefit eligibility. Product and producer availability varies by state.
Relevant support
One national, virtual resource rather than a different arrangement for each client organization. Product and producer availability varies by state.
Virtual sessions can be offered where a client's population makes Medicare or retirement education relevant.
Worksite employees and their household members can get one-to-one help with personal coverage.
We do not administer your plans or make eligibility determinations.
Virtual education
Virtual education may be offered across appropriate client populations — most often where a client workforce includes meaningful numbers approaching Medicare or retirement.
Two educational offerings are available today. Review them, then request a webinar — a Benefits Beyond Work representative follows up to learn more about your audience, objectives, timing, and educational needs.
Webinars covering the Medicare landscape, considerations for people approaching eligibility, Medicare alongside workplace coverage, and what a transition may mean for a household.
Webinars on preparing for retirement-related benefit changes, delivered with appropriately licensed professionals through our retirement services partner.
Webinars are generally available for groups of 10 or more anticipated participants. Have a smaller group? Contact us to explore available options.
Individual & household support
After a session ends, the remaining questions are personal — timing, household, and state all matter. People who want individual help can meet with us directly.
Positioning
Benefits Beyond Work works alongside your existing service model, client benefit programs, and broker or consultant relationships as a downstream resource for transitioning people.
Relevant insurance solutions
Depending on the person's situation, one or several of these areas may become relevant.
Portability & conversion
Some workplace benefits may include continuation, portability, or conversion options, so we look at what can be kept before considering what may need to be replaced. These are transition considerations rather than a separate solution area, and plan provisions control what is actually available.
Relevant use cases
Crews outside benefit eligibility may ask where to look for individual healthcare coverage.
Employees turning 65 while still working may want to understand how coverage could interact in their situation.
People leaving a client organization may ask what options follow workplace coverage.
Tell us about the workforces you support and we'll walk through where this resource fits.
