Thanks for having me, J.R. matched

For one, benefits are being offered more competitively right now. matched

People have called this current period the Great Resignation. matched

A lot of Americans have been resigning from their jobs and looking for better ones or ones that are more flexible to their needs. matched

According to my sources, employers have been more competitive in what they offer their employees to stay to keep that retention. matched

There's other reasons, too. matched

Other things at play, obviously, are, you know, the pandemic. matched

People are still sick. matched

dealing with health issues. matched

You might have hospital bills or needing time off. matched

And there's also the fact that there's just different types of workplace benefits now, too, that you might not be aware of. matched

And so it would not benefit you to look at this as just a regular open enrollment season. matched

Yeah. matched

So the financial experts I talked to said to really try to pull in your budget into your benefits. matched

And basically, that just means not selecting benefits this open enrollment season in a vacuum, you know, without your budget and medical expenses in mind. matched

A lot of insurance providers offer a medical expense calculator so you can look at what you spent on medical bills matched

the past year, project what you might spend in the next year, and then calculate that and see, you know, what type of plan is best for you. matched

So you might, for example, if you expect to have more medical procedures or services done in 2022, you might opt for a low deductible plan. matched

And if you're the opposite, where you don't expect to have more medical matched

visits, then you might opt for a high deductible plan and instead pay lower premiums. matched
