How to take advantage of your benefits before they expire

There’s plenty we throw away around Christmas, but money shouldn’t be one of them! No matter your job, health benefits are one of the best perks you can have. While some plans reset mid-year, most health benefits reset at the end of the calendar year. You might think of this money as not really yours, but for many plans, you are the one paying into it throughout the year, so it’s better to think of it as an investment in your health—one that you’ve paid for and should make the most of! And let’s just say there are a lot of reasons you shouldn’t let a good investment go to waste!

3 Reasons You Should Use Your Benefits

1. Don’t let Your Money Go to Waste

• Unused benefits are money left on the table. Make the most of what you’ve invested by using your health benefits before they expire!
  
  

2. Invest in Preventative Care

• Using your benefits now can help prevent future injuries, ensuring you stay healthy and make the most of your health investment.
