SavvyFi plugged into an existing fringe benefit / LSA program to help an employee manage $60K in #studentloans. This employe faces a monthly student loan payment of approximately $500, with a repayment term slightly exceeding 10 years. They made the choice to allocate roughly $500 per month from their employer stipend program towards their loan. Here's the obvious benefit: 👍 They will pay off their loans in about half the time, effectively doubling the pace of loan repayment. But there's an additional, unforeseen benefit: 😲 In months when the household budget becomes tight, they can allocate their $500 stipend towards meeting just the minimum payment, instead of overpaying. This provides them with an extra $500 for emergency expenses. 📢 Give the power back to the people! They are the ultimate experts in what benefits they would value! 👀 📕 https://lnkd.in/eUnh8S53 #hr #employeebenefits #financialwellness
Thanks for sharing, Jeffrey. Great partnership case study. Refresh my memory - does the tax advantaged employer contribution for student loan payments have an expiration date? If so, we need Congress to extend this amazing benefit! Cheers....

9moYikes. A student loan payment of $500/month is steep! Being able to use a flexible benefit like an LSA is 👏 !
