TASC doesn’t react, we respond. For over 45 years, TASC has been centered around the needs of our clients and participants and in these times of change and uncertainty this remains our focus.
It’s not just during times of uncertainty, TASC is always proactive and adaptable and will continue to innovate solutions and options for employers to have information at their fingertips to make the most informed decisions for their business as well as have access to tools to be successful regardless of circumstance.
TASC responds.com was created to make information relating to COVID-19 and the ever-evolving legislation surrounding changes to employee benefits simple and accessible for everyone, whether they are a TASC customer or not. We are providing the tools so that employers can make the most informed decisions for their business and their employees. We also want to show the potential plan changes that can be made to best serve employees and employers.
We offer a number of new options for benefit accounts at TASCresponds.com such as the a Crisis Fund Account and a Home Office Account. These accounts, and more, help employers and employees during the current COVID-19 situation but can also prove essential following this crisis as some social distancing guidelines and restrictions continue.
We also share important updates on legislation and how to comply in The Benefits Coordination and Compliance section as well as providing tools and advice as well as a one-stop-shop for information and next steps.
Finally, The Plan Configurations and Elections section helps employers navigate changes to dependent care, grace periods and runouts and things to consider before changing to existing plans or adding new ones. We also share ideas for lesser known concepts such as adding a special giving campaign. We are privileged to have experience in that area as we help serve the U.S. Department of Office Personnel and Management (OPM) with their Combined Federal Giving Campaign (CFC). Now they are implementing a special giving campaign.
Their Special Giving Campaign approved Federal Government departments and agencies to solicit employees and retirees to donate to charitable organizations that are being asked to do more than ever to help people affected by COVID-19.
TASC provided OPM tools that employees, military personnel and retirees use to donate to charities important to them. They can set up a one-time or recurring gift through payroll deduction or bank drafts. Our TASC Giving app makes it simple, safe and secure way to give from the comfort of their home.
It’s the first time that a campaign like this has happened under the new regulations and provides the opportunity for gainfully employed people to help those who are struggling. We are proud to help make this possible.
When we respond and not react, we clear a path to resilience and growth that makes the world clearer for us all. Visit us at TASCresponds.com to learn more.
