IRS Reduces 2018 Health Savings Account Limit for Family Coverage

https://www.natlawreview.com/articl...15-2018&utm_source=Robly.com&utm_medium=email

"Using the C-CPI-U method, the IRS adjusted the HSA limit for individuals enrolled in family coverage downward to $6,850. The HSA limit for individuals enrolled in self-only coverage, and the deductible parameters for high deductible health plans did not change."

Reduced by $50/yr for family coverage. Not a very big deal, really. The 6% excise tax (penalty) on that would be $3... OK.
 
Why Employees Leave Companies in 2018 [poll results]

Money is still important and we have to find ways to take the money conversation “off the table”, meaning that employees need to feel that they are getting paid competitively both internally and externally. They also want relevant benefits that they can use."

What nobody seems to understand about these stupid autonomous cars is that they encourage the "safety driver" to become distracted by taking the responsibility of driving away from them until the moment they are supposed to intervene. You can only spend so much time staring out the window doing nothing before you get bored.
