IRS changes health policy rules
|
|
Responding to the coronavirus pandemic, the Internal Revenue Service has issued new rules allowing employers to let their staff change their health care plans more easily. The New York Times reported that the IRS Tuesday issued new guidance allowing employers to let their workers drop out of their health insurance if they have another option, or sign up if they failed to earlier in the year. Workers could also be allowed to add more family members to their plan, or switch from one workplace plan to another.
The change doesn’t require employers to offer these options — just to opt in if they want to give their employees the added flexibility. See more at https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/12/business/employer-health-plans-coronavirus.html

Woodhouse named Hometown Hero
|
|
Today’s Hometown Hero is Hope Woodhouse, past president of the John’s Island Community Service League, which both donated more than $1 million to 40 nonprofits in and, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, then raised an additional $250,000 for the United Way of Indian County’s COVID-19 Response Fund.
“I have witnessed firsthand how tirelessly Hope Woodhouse works to help our Vero Beach community and those in need,’’ wrote Betsy Prezioso, just one of many who nominated Woodhouse. “She is thoughtful, compassionate and determined to help others. She committed herself to learn of and address the specific areas in need in Vero Beach and then helped to raise significant funds to target and support those areas.’’
We received so many nominations for Hope Woodhouse as a Hometown Hero that we created a page to share what others have written about her. See what others have written about her at https://www.indianrivermagazine.com/hope-woodhouse-a-hometown-hero/
