Education assistance programs
Employer-assisted student loan repayment
Help employees pay down student loan debt with tax-free straight contributions or matching programs.
Tuition reimbursement
Ease administrative burden by partnering with BenefitEd to manage your tuition reimbursement program and reward your employees for continuing their education.
SECURE Act 2.0
The Securing a Strong Retirement Act of 2022, commonly referred to as SECURE Act 2.0, offers a unique opportunity to employees who are making student loan payments so they can start saving for retirement sooner. Matching contributions can be based on your employees’ student loan payments.
Employee Choice
Exclusively from BenefitEd, Employee Choice gives your employees control over where your matching funds go – retirement savings, student loan repayment, or both – without adjusting your benefits budget. Both options are tax free for you and your employees.
Employer-assisted college savings
Help employees save for future education – their own or their family’s – by supplementing 529 college savings contributions.
Student loan repayment support
Not ready to contribute toward your employees’ student loans or 529 college savings? Offer assistance on their student loan journey with a dashboard, resource center and expert support.
