Reminder to update beneficiaries

It is important to have updated beneficiaries for employees who have an HSA and/or life insurance policy. Remind your employees to take a few minutes to review their beneficiaries and make any necessary changes so that should something happen, their family will more easily receive the payout.

If you have any questions about available Life Insurance policies through MESSA, we have a booklet available.
