TASC Introduces a New HR Benefit & Continuation Experience for Employers

Madison, WI (January 9, 2024) – TASC (Total Administrative Services Corporation), a national third-party administrator of employee benefits, announced the release of their new state-of-the-art, cloud-based proprietary Benefit Account and Benefit Continuation administrative system and customer experience.

TASC is excited to be the only third-party administrator to deliver an experience for employers and employees that combines employee benefit accounts with Benefit Continuation offerings (COBRA, Leave of Absence and Retiree Billing) all on one platform, one website and one mobile app.

TASC is an industry leader in benefit account administration, offering employers over 50 employee benefit with their Universal Benefit Account® offering. This includes traditional employee benefits such as HSA, FSA, HRA, Dependent Care, and Transit, combined with the newer lifestyle benefits employees in today's workforce demand, like Wellness, Education, Pet Care, and Giving Accounts.

Now, with TASC's Benefit Continuation offerings available on the new MyTASC system, employers and HR professionals can enjoy and offer employees a benefit platform and universal experience to easily manage any employee need, at any life stage, on the same integrated website and top-rated mobile app.

Employers can manage all benefits with a single login, allowing them to simplify their vendor list and eliminate headaches caused by having their employees' information spread out across multiple systems. It means employers can spend less time navigating various complex platforms and focus on managing their workforce.

"By adding Benefit Continuation offerings like COBRA, Retiree Billing and Leave of Absence to MyTASC, we've created a single, consistent, intuitive experience across all devices and services, for HR and employees alike. Employees can access the same mobile app they use to submit reimbursements for their benefit accounts, and now enroll in COBRA and pay their premiums if needed. This creates a seamless benefits ecosystem and brings simplicity to a normally fragmented and complicated process," said Pam Reynolds, Chief Executive Officer at TASC.

MyTASC eliminates siloed benefit administration for employers by consolidating outsourced HR services with one vendor and one system. TASC's goal is help employers increase administrative efficiency, improve employee ease of use, and save costs. Reynolds added, "those siloed systems made the addition of new benefits both cost-prohibitive and slow. Worst of all, they did nothing to attract and retain key talent—which is a top reason many companies offer benefits in the first place. The COVID-19 pandemic brought the weaknesses of siloed benefits systems into sharper focus. Companies had to adapt to the employee needs created by the physical, mental, and economic stressors of the pandemic and to the shift to remote work within days, not months. But siloed systems were not up to the challenge. A unified benefits and continuation platform that is flexible, integrated, scalable, customizable, and secure, has become a necessity for our clients' success."

The company, commonly known as TASC, is the first in the country to provide a robust offering that simplifies the process of offering benefits and meeting government mandates by having the ability to secure online services that include:

  • Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting that fulfills federal obligations.
  • Regulatory compliance with all Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) regulations.

The services are also supported by all of TASC's normal guarantees, including $1 million hold harmless protection clauses if any government agency deems the reporting compliance as 'not adequate."

"This is truly an everybody wins platform that is perfectly tailored to address challenges faced by businesses of all sizes," Mortimer said, noting that TASCshop will expand the new site to offer its other compliance and continuation and benefit administrative services. "Our new e-commerce site is unique to the industry and a key differentiator for small to midsize businesses."

TASC and The ICHRA Shop Partner for Better Benefits

Madison, WI (August 16, 2022) – In this time of evolving benefits, The ICHRA Shop and TASC (Total Administrative Services Corporation) have joined forces to make benefits feel like benefits. Through this partnership, employers will now be able to offer comprehensive benefits solutions that provide employers flexibility. ICHRA Shop’s insurance marketplace makes it easier to enable expansive health, dental, vision, and now flexible benefits that include offerings such as Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) and so much more.

Too often, the experience of signing up for and determining the appropriate benefits for a client can be difficult, frustrating and time-consuming because employers simply don’t know how to select which benefits that employees need and want. With TASC’s Universal Benefit Account®, Benefit Continuation Services like COBRA, and Compliance solutions like ERISA, HIPAA, FMLA, 5500s and more, ICHRA Shop adds secure and comprehensive benefit offerings to the ICHRA Shop Marketplace. This makes it easier to serve employers of any size with tax savings value, while providing diversity of offerings with a world-class customer experience for both employers and their employees.

“A comprehensive platform is the key to increasing flexibility in all aspects of benefits administration,” says Brad ONeill, President. “We are impressed with the more than 50 different benefits offerings that TASC’s Universal Benefit Account can provide our clients. The ability to integrate ICHRA with a variety of other benefits, including HSA’s is a gamechanger” “Providing employees the power of one card to shop for all their benefits, mixed with our digital decision supported enrollment allows employees to directly enroll into the carrier or the exchange. Our TASC partnership has instantly made the ICHRA experience better for our clients”

The importance of increasing engagement through benefit enhancement can’t be ignored. A study by the Workplace Research Foundation found that employees who are highly engaged are 38% more likely to offer their employers above-average productivity. A successful benefits program requires more than a strategic selection of the benefits themselves.

“With high demand for talented employees, employers need to differentiate to attract and retain the best employees. This means that employers need to offer flexibility in benefits that allow employees choice that make sense for their family. TASC’s ICHRA as well as other offerings provide a wide variety of benefits that put the power of choice in the employee’s hands. By pairing TASC Universal Benefit Account and other offerings with ICHRA Shop’s Marketplace, employers can feel confident they are enabling their employees with the right solutions to meet their ever-changing needs,” shares Dawn Mortimer, Chief Innovation Officer. “The expectation today, for most employees, and particularly millennials who are tech savvy and working all over the globe is that they want to pick the right benefits that work for them. It is imperative that it is a seamless digital user experience. The expectation is one platform marketplace with one portal, one password, one card, and a user experience that’s the same across all devices.”

The Everyday Philanthropist Act Drops in the US Senate

Bipartisan Bill Would Incentivize Charitable Giving and Broaden the Nation’s Philanthropic Base

Madison, WI (December 8, 2021)

The Everyday Philanthropist Act (S. 3191) – a bipartisan bill to incentivize charitable giving by providing Americans with an effective tax break – has been introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senators Ben Sasse (R-NE) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI).[1] This bill would allow employees to set aside up to $2,700 per year, on a pre-tax basis, to give to the charity or charities of their choice through the establishment of Flexible Giving Accounts (FGAs).

Charities and non-profit groups throughout the U.S. serve some of the most vulnerable populations in our communities and are essential to addressing some of the most pressing needs. Unfortunately, when many of the services these groups provide are most needed, they are facing significant reductions in giving. 

The Everyday Philanthropist Act gives taxpayers the ability to make charitable donations on a pre-tax basis. Our current tax code provides only taxpayers who itemize their deductions - those typically in the highest tax brackets – the opportunity to lower their income taxes by giving to charity. The Everyday Philanthropist Act changes that. Providing encouragement for non-itemizers to want to give more, more often.

This straightforward improvement to the tax code will broaden the nation’s philanthropic base, provide increased incentive to give now and foster a culture of more regular charitable donations for the future. Further, the establishment of pre-tax FGAs as set forth in S. 3191 would incentivize charitable giving in a manner that is fiscally sound, compliance friendly, and effective.

“The Everyday Philanthropist Act would help people who give currently to give more and encourage those who don’t already give to start,” says Dan Rashke, Founder of The Greater Give. “It would revolutionize the way Americans give back and could have incredible impacts on those in our community who are in need.”

About The Greater Give
The Greater Give (TGG) is a nonprofit organization working to increase charitable giving by cultivating a movement of shared responsibility between employers and their employees. TGG helps employers easily implement workplace giving initiatives by educating employers on strategic philanthropy, advocating for changes in public policy, and connecting like-minded businesses.

  • Guidance on how an employer can build their vaccination and/or testing program and customizable plan documentation to provide their employees whether they are implementing their own work place program or needing to comply with state or federal regulations.

“We know from our years of experience in employee benefits and compliance that you need to have a plan in place, so you're prepared to readily respond to the rules when a decision is made,” says TASC Chief Executive Officer Dan Rashke. “With the Vaccination Verification offering employers can avoid non-compliance fines that could cost them thousands of dollars.”

Here’s how it works:

  • TASC walks employers through plan setup and online tools.

“A unified platform is the key to increasing flexibility in all aspects of benefits administration,” says Ron Lupi, Secova executive. “We are impressed with the more than 50 different benefits offerings that TASC’s Universal Benefit Account can provide our clients. In today’s ever-changing work and benefit environment, employers need the ability to adapt benefit offerings to work for their business and employees.”

The importance of increasing engagement through benefit enhancement can’t be ignored. A study by the Workplace Research Foundation found that employees who are highly engaged are 38% more likely to offer their employers above-average productivity. A successful benefits program requires more than a strategic selection of the benefits themselves.

“A benefit is only as good as the experience an employee has in accessing it — and that’s where many company benefit programs fall short. This includes not having a platform that brings all benefits together. That’s what we see in partnering with Secova, a single platform where all employer offerings are together — how you present benefits does matter,” shares Dawn Mortimer, Chief Innovation Officer. “The expectation today, for most employees, and particularly millennials who are tech savvy, is a seamless digital user experience; the expectation is one platform with one portal, one password, one card, and a user experience that’s the same across all devices.”
