Building Your Financial Wellness

Reach your financial goals and save for your future. You have access to tools and resources to help you achieve your savings goals and feel financially well.

  • Your AHEAD 401(k) empowers you to set aside money for your future. You can choose to make before tax or Roth after-tax contributions. Plus, AHEAD will contribute to your savings by matching your contributions, up to $5,000. Consider increasing your contribution amount to make the most of your savings power. 
  • Depending on the medical plan option you choose to enroll in, you may have access to a Health Savings Account (HSA). The HSA allows you to set aside before-tax dollars for eligible medical expenses. The money in your HSA remains yours; even if you leave AHEAD.  
  • Set aside before-tax dollars for eligible expenses with the following spending accounts: 
      • Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for eligible healthcare expenses. You are not eligible for the Healthcare FSA if enrolled in a medical plan with an HSA.  
      • Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for eligible dependent care expenses, such as day care.  
      • Transportation Spending Account for qualified parking, transit and vanpooling expenses. 
      • Protect your finances, credit and identity with the voluntary IDShield plans.
