October and November are often dedicated to benefits education, as eligible employees prepare to select plans during Open Enrollment. 

From leave to discounts, Georgia Tech’s expansive network of benefits was likely part of your initial draw to work here. But perhaps you’ve forgotten some of the more uncommon ones, or worse — never realized they existed. Here’s four benefits you didn’t know you had.

It’s that time of year again, Open Enrollment is just a few weeks away (Oct. 29 through Nov. 9.), which means open the spreadsheets, budgets and stack of healthcare receipts. It’s time to decide if last year’s plan worked or if you need something different.

The MARTA monthly pass will be $67 during July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2918 (regularly $75.50). Purchasing MARTA monthly fare through payroll deduction offers the convenience of using a permanent reloadable Breeze card, and the cost of the pass is deducted from the participant’s paycheck pre-tax, lowering taxable income.
