New financial benefits give small business employees early wage access

October 13, 2020

| Health Benefits

Mandatory quarantines and business closures during the coronavirus pandemic have taken aparticularly large financial toll on small businesses, forcing many employers to reduce wages and health coverage.

Sixty-five percent of small businesses said they were either extremely concerned or very concerned about how the coronavirus will affect their business, according to a survey by Freshbooks. In addition to financial pressure, small business employers are also tasked with providing benefits that will support struggling employees.

“COVID-19 just exacerbated what was going on in the market and put even more pressure on small companies and their employees,” says Emily Ritter, head of product marketing at Gusto, a payroll and employee benefits platform for small businesses. “Employees across America are living paycheck-to-paycheck and the stress of that can be expensive for households.”

Gusto has launched a new set of health and financial wellness benefits to provide employees with early access to

How the pandemic is widening the financial health gap

| Health Facts

Over two-thirds of Americans are financially unhealthy, with millions facing “extreme financial hardship,” according to the U.S. Financial Health Pulse Trends Report, released today. And as the stock market continues to strengthen, the average American is still struggling, with unemployment rates still far above pre-pandemic highs and another round of coronavirus stimulus seemingly far off.

“50 years ago, when wealth was more evenly distributed, the stock market fluctuations and performance might have been more reflective of how real people were faring. But given the significant disparities in wealth and the fact that a significant percentage of Americans don’t actually own any stock, it really doesn’t tell us very much.” Jennifer Tescher, president and CEO of the Financial Health Network, said. “This study really gives a picture of what people’s real financial lives look like.”

Though the study showed that 33% of Americans—4% more than in 2019—are financially healthy,

What Is Financial Wellness and Why Does It Matter?

October 12, 2020
| No Comments
| Health And Wellness

Financial wellness is a term you’ve probably heard quite a bit in the past few years. Referring to the ability of a person to live free from financial stress (as a result of having healthy finances), the phrase has come into vogue as “wellness” trends more broadly have seen an uptick. Companies have created financial wellness programs, giving incentives to employees to save or invest in their 401(k)s, money in their pockets to get their annual checkups, providing tuition assistance for things like continued education, and facilitating free access to financial advisors. Books, podcasts, and all forms of media to empower individuals to take charge of their financial health and wealth have meanwhile evolved far beyond what’s been available in the past (remember when those For Dummies guides and dry financial materials were the only options?). Podcast listening, for one, has doubled among Americans since 2018, with a bulk

Thousands of local seniors left scrambling as financial woes strike Medicare Advantage plan

October 11, 2020

A Southern California insurance company’s financial woes are sending thousands of seniors in Santa Clara and San Joaquin counties scrambling for health care coverage amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

More than 10,000 people in the two counties enrolled in Vitality Health Plan’s Medicare Advantage option — insurance that provides expanded Medicare coverage — after it began serving the area in January 2019, attracted by good benefits and promises of inexpensive medication. But for many, the company’s offerings turned out to be too good to be true.

“If my parents were on the plan, I would move them,” said Patricia Salas, president of SBHIS Insurance Services, a company that enrolled elderly residents in Vitality’s supplemental Medicare plan and is now hustling to help them find alternatives.

The main issue is Vitality’s dire financial situation. The company is required to maintain what’s called tangible net equity — basically a few million dollars

Why financial planning improves your health

James M. Dahle, MD, founder of The White Coat Investor.

James M Dahle, MD

It has been recognized for years that our health can be affected by our wealth, or lack thereof. Stress is a major contributor to both mental and physical health, and financial issues are one of the biggest stressors around.

In my work as an emergency physician, I meet people who feel suicidal nearly every day. While they also cite stress caused by relationships, health problems, family members and work, financial strain is a major contributor.

Since financial stress  plays such a big part in poor health, it stands to reason that improving financial planning, literacy and discipline will also improve health outcomes. In my work spreading financial literacy among doctors and other high-income professionals at The White Coat Investor, I have often observed a great burden lifted from the shoulders of my readers and listeners as
