More Than Just Insurance, Legal Services and DiscountsPrincipal Financial, UNI’s Life and LTD vendor, and our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provide legal discounts to our employees. Employees, their dependents, and beneficiaries have access to tools provided by ARAG® to create important and necessary documents such as a Will, Living Will, Healthcare Power of Attorney and many other legal documents for free. EAP provides discounts off of legal services and legal documentation preparation. To learn more, visit our Legal Services and Discounts webpage. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)We are halfway through the year so it is a great time to remind those who have elected an FSA to submit for reimbursements. Summer brings a need for sunscreen and over-the-counter allergy medications. Both are eligible for reimbursement with the health care FSA. For a listing of eligible expenses, as well as over-the-counter eligible expenses, visit the FSA website. |

Due to COVID-19 you can request free weekly credit reports from all three credit bureaus. Visit the Annual Credit Report website for your free reports provided under federal law. Free credit counseling is available through NFCC.org to help manage, pay off debt, and improve your credit score. Visit https://www.nfcc.org/ to learn more. |
