We are pleased to announce that Ian Schaeffer, our founder, and CEO, will be a featured panelist for an upcoming SHRM-GP event on June 30.
The HR Department-of-One Special Interest Group panel event called, Why You Need to Rethink Your Benefits Package will provide an interactive virtual discussion about unique benefit package options for hiring, retention, and retirement.
Ian will be speaking about the value of incorporating Medicare education at work and why having a Medicare transition team partnered with HR teams creates a compliment in the benefits total rewards package cycle from ‘hiring to retiring’.
This program will be submitted for SHRM-PDC and HRCI recertification credit.

When working past age 65 make sure your employer’s health plan is creditable before you defer your Medicare enrollment when first eligible.

COBRA after age 65 presents many unrealized risks when enrolling in Medicare later. Create a Medicare transition plan to avoid these risks.

Certified Medicare Planners® can be advocates for your employees when situations arise with Medicare and Insurance companies.

Medicare offers retirement benefit choices, and Certified Medicare Planners® provide Medicare transition with true fiduciary support.

Medicare has many plan options so you are not stuck with the Medicare plan you chose! You should review your plan annually.
