Hi everyone! Does anyone in here work for Omada Health ? I have an interview next Wednesday for a PT Member Support Agent role and am unclear on what the pay could be. Glassdoor has the pay estimate at 42k-48k, but I found a comment where someone in the same role mentioned only getting paid $12/hr. I have 8 years of experience as a CSR but I’ve had a couple year gap in between now and my last job. TIA Any advice helps .

Prop 13 caps the tax rate increase to around 1%, so more likely than not, the issue is your homeowners insurance rates going up. Everyone likes to talk about Florida's rates, but it's not just Florida.
Might be your home insurance
It’s insurance, not property taxes. If you aren’t in a high fire risk area, you could get quotes and move your insurance. Personally, I’m afraid to make any change in my insurance because so many companies are dropping customers and I want to have a long history that includes my cars so that they want to keep me.
We also moved in 3 years ago and the escrow is balancing out. First year or so there was overlap, supplemental etc.
taxes and homeowners insurance. Check your policy and see if your insurance has gone up. You can change policies to a cheaper one.
It is odd to me that you don’t know why your escrow is higher. Do you not get tax and insurance bills? I get both even though they’re paid by escrow.
I need to review the numbers but this is the second increase in two years. I have gone from $5,500 to $5,800 in two years…
I hate to break it to you but it’ll likely go up every year.
Likely to be the tax increase by the county and insurance, since it’s difficult and more expensive to insure. Here is a quick search:
1. Property Tax Increases
• California Proposition 13 limits annual property tax increases to 2% unless the property changes ownership or there are major improvements—but even small increases can raise escrow.
• If your home was reassessed (e.g., after renovations or a sale), your taxes might jump significantly.
2. Homeowner’s Insurance Premium Increase
• If your insurer raises rates (common due to wildfire risks in California), your escrow must cover the higher annual premium.
3. Supplemental Tax Bills
• In California, after buying a home, the county may issue supplemental property tax bills based on the new assessed value. Your lender might pay this from escrow, then adjust your monthly payments to recover the cost.
4. Escrow Shortage or Deficiency
• If there wasn’t enough in your escrow account to cover last year’s taxes or insurance, the lender will raise your monthly payment to make up the shortage plus adjust for future expected costs.
5. Flood or Earthquake Insurance Requirements
• If your property has been reclassified into a flood zone or high-risk area, you might be required to carry additional insurance, increasing escrow.
6. Changes in Local Assessments or Special Taxes
• California properties sometimes have Mello-Roos or other special assessments (e.g., school bonds, lighting districts) that can go up, affecting your property tax bill.
