So any WPP folks got an update on the health insurance fiasco? My agency still isn’t covered by UHC and people are starting to freak out.

Can you tell me more about this? I’m about to take a job at a WPP shop...

Sure. No one really has a clear idea of what’s happening as far as I know. What I’ve been told is that there’s something weird between Mercer (3rd party benefits agent) and Unitedhealthcare. We’re paying for insurance, but UHC is saying that none of us are actually covered for 2020. There have been a few vague emails from WPP saying that we’ll be reimbursed for anything that happens while they’re figuring shit out, but other than that nothing. It’s been annoying to say the least. I feel especially bad for my coworker who’s pregnant and has to go to the doctor frequently

UPDATE: got an email that they’re going to enroll everyone starting today. Checked UHC and I finally have insurance!

This isn’t all of WPP. @CW, ask HR if it effects you. I’m WPP and have Aetna.

It doesn’t affect Aetna subscribers, only UHC

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
