WSJ Your Money Briefing · What You Can Do Now to Simplify Your Estate Plan for Your Heirs · 29 Nov 2024 podcast

A little planning can really go a long way in making sure that your heirs are provided for and that there's no family acrimony.

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Open Enrollment: How to Select the Right Benefits · 3 Nov 2023 podcast

Well, it makes a lot of sense if you think about it.

When you join a company, you're given a lot of materials, and there's just so much in there.

A lot of people just thumb through it, but they just don't take time to understand the minutia.

A study from MetLife shows that nearly one in five employees are either not at all confident or only slightly confident in their understanding of the benefits offered by their employer.

They offer something called employee assistance programs, and those are confidential.

So a lot of employees are concerned that information is going to get back to their employer.

And while employers do get general numbers, maybe about how many employees take advantage of the services, they don't get names.

So there's really no fear for an employee to use an employee assistance program.

And there are various types of benefits within the programs.

It can be talking to a counselor.

Sometimes they have apps that help you with relaxation or meditation.

Companies also offer wellness programs and incentives.

So it may be benefits related to exercise or maybe you'll get free flu shots or free COVID boosters or other perks that you would get for keeping healthy.

Some companies do fitness center memberships.

You can do health screenings, health risk assessments.

There may be benefits for weight loss programs or smoking cessation and stress reduction.

So there's a whole gamut of programs that companies offer.

At open enrollment time, you can buy supplemental insurance policies at group rates, and those rates can be a lot lower than individual rates typically are.

So it might be additional life insurance, it might be disability insurance or long-term care insurance, even critical illness, and sometimes even pet insurance.
