Financial Health Program
The Prosperity Project is an education and training program that promotes personal financial life skills to individuals and their families, including teens. Employers benefit from sponsoring the program as financially healthy employees improve workplace efficiency, are more productive, have less turnover and absenteeism, and increase bottom-line profitability. The program combines financial education classes, written planning and ongoing financial coaching.

Employees benefit from the program by developing their financial skills which increases their ability to stretch their paychecks, reduce debts and family conflicts, and manage their retirement plans more effectively. Many employees have realized a savings of over $4,000 a year through this program. The cost of a Trial Membership is $99 which entitles a household to the 8 hour Financial Self-Defense Workshop (over 4 evenings). After completion of workshop, Trial Members have the option to continue as Full Members for a monthly fee. For more information, CLICK HERE.

Flexible Spending Agreement Discount
Chamber member business offers a special discount for its administration of an employer-sponsored flexible spending agreement. An FSA can provide savings to employers through reduced employment-related taxes. At the same time, an FSA offers employees an easy way to pay for out-of-pocket medical and daycare costs while reducing their taxable income. Contact Lisa Schafer, Director of Operations, at 525-1173 Ext. 203 for more information.

Limited Medical Plan
Limited medical plans are now available, through the Chamber, to member businesses and their staff.

A limited medical plan is an affordable option for hourly, part-time, seasonal or contractual employees and their eligible dependents that do not qualify for or have access to traditional coverage such as a Major Medical Plan. A limited medical plan is meant to provide coverage for day-to-day medical costs. Limited medical plans (or mini-med plans) are designed to meet day-to-day medical expenses and have capped benefits-hence, limited-to keep premiums low.

While maximum benefit levels may be limited, the quality of care provided with these plans is not. Rest assured that employees participating in a limited medical plan, from Health Alliance, receive excellent service and a high level of care. HCH Administration, Inc., a subsidiary of Health Alliance Medical Plans, manages claims out of Peoria, IL, for limited medical plans.

For businesses, the ability to offer their employees a health insurance benefit is an excellent strategy for recruiting and retaining quality workers. It is up to the employer to decide who pays the insurance premium. No employer contribution is typically required; however most employers cover some portion of the monthly premium.

The Chamber produces a community map, demographical and statistical publications, and other valuable resources that are available to Chamber members at a discounted rate.
