  • Healthcare Provider Update:

    Molina Healthcare is a prominent healthcare provider that offers a range of health insurance plans, primarily through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. In Florida, Molina is proposing a significant rate increase of approximately 41% for individual plans in 2026, which is the highest among competing insurers. This surge in premiums is part of a broader trend expected across the ACA marketplace, where many participants may face increased costs due to various factors including the potential expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies and rising medical expenses. If enacted, this could lead to substantial financial strain for a large portion of enrollees, particularly those who are reliant on affordable coverage under the ACA. Click here to learn more.

    1. Thrift Savings Plan

    Retirement from Molina Healthcare is something you need to plan for, whether it's far away or just around the corner. Even if you can rely on a military pension because you've stayed in the service for 20 years or more, it's probably not going to provide all the retirement income you'll need, and neither is Social Security. That's why it's important to save for your Molina Healthcare retirement on your own. One option you have is to contribute to the government's Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).

    2. Savings Deposit Program

    Are you trying to save money to buy a vehicle or make a down payment on a home? Do you need to set aside money for a rainy day? If you're deployed to a designated combat zone for more than 30 consecutive days, you may have a unique chance to save for your goals at a guaranteed interest rate by participating in the Defense Department's Savings Deposit Program (SDP).

    The SDP pays you 10% interest on deposits up to $10,000 while you're deployed, and you'll earn this interest rate on your money for up to 90 days after your return. You may deposit all or part of your unallotted pay. Interest compounds quarterly and is taxable.

    Generally, you can withdraw funds and close your account only after you leave the combat zone and are no longer eligible to participate in the SDP, although emergency withdrawals, while you're deployed, are allowed in some cases. Other rules and eligibility requirements apply. For our Molina Healthcare clients who would like to find out more or begin participating in the SDP, contact your local military finance office.

    3. Post-9/11 GI Bill

    Generally, you can withdraw funds and close your account only after you leave the combat zone and are no longer eligible to participate in the SDP, although emergency withdrawals, while you're deployed, are allowed in some cases.

    4. VA Home Loan
