HR Quote of the Day

"As long as they stay stupid, I work another day."

~Me~

It's open enrollment time (any fellow benefits administrators know this is hell on earth) & no matter how many graphs, charts, outlines, face to face meetings, etc., I provide, most of these folks just don't get it...and in this day & age, I'm glad of it!

    I finally got on the ball and signed up for the flex spending plan. Yay me, new glasses/contacts and some more dental work.

    Shoo, I flexed $3000 this year and then later was afraid I wouldn't be able to meet it. I have $275 left and our year ends in March '09.

    My point on this is that I ONLY have $275 to go and I still have almost 3 months. My meds will take care of this, 2 combined is $110 a month AFTER insurance!

    Gotcha! We just increased our max to $4000 and quite a few people jumped on that one.

    I used to max out on the child care portion... that was nice.

    I only did $500 for next year cause I'm not sure I'll make it either... but I figure two pair of glasses/a year's worth of contacts, two cleanings next year and a filling replacement ought to be about $500

    This is my 2nd year doing the Medical FSA. First time, I wasn't sure so I only did $300. This year, I did $500. I am not sure what I will do next year, but I know I will raise it again. It definitely comes in handy and I am thankful for it.

    Single me, no dependents or regular meds, I do straight insurance. Coventry is great. I just had surgery and I should not have to pay anything on it. Thank God forinsurance. I only work for the insurance. but I understand Mo. Open enrollment is a crazy time. Non-computer literate people like me have a hard time.
