New Update: Healthcare Costs Increasing by Over 60% in Some States. Will you be impacted?

Is a Rollover into an IRA the Right Move for You as a Insight Enterprises Employee?

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Insight Enterprises Insight Enterprises primarily collaborates with major healthcare providers to offer comprehensive health coverage options for their employees. The notable providers interfacing with Insight Enterprises include UnitedHealthcare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Cigna, among others. These partnerships ensure that employees have access to a wide network of services designed to meet their healthcare needs. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As we approach 2026, Insight Enterprises employees may face significantly rising healthcare costs due to projected steep increases in ACA premiums. Many states anticipate premium hikes that could exceed 60%, primarily fueled by the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies and ongoing medical inflation. The Kaiser Family Foundation warns that without these subsidies, nearly 92% of marketplace enrollees could see their out-of-pocket costs soar by over 75%. Consequently, employees must proactively manage their healthcare choices and explore benefits to mitigate the impact of these escalating expenses. Click here to learn more

Choosing an IRA rollover means that your money remains tax-advantaged and capable of growth, as in a Insight Enterprises-sponsored plan. You may also gain more investment options than what may have been available in your Insight Enterprises-sponsored plan. You may also gain oversight of managing these important retirement assets from your trusted Advisor.

If you roll your retirement plan assets over into an IRA account that you already own through your Advisor, you also receive the benefit of combined statements and holistic investment planning, making it easier to track your overall financial situation.

Some of the benefits of rolling your money into an IRA include:

Tax-deferred growth potential: This generally avoids current income tax and distribution penalties when removed from a Insight Enterprises-sponsored retirement plan.

More investment choices: This allows for additional contributions, if eligible. IRAs can be combined and handled by one provider, thereby reducing trustee costs and consolidating statements. Protection from creditors in federal bankruptcy proceedings. The combined amount of your required minimum distributions (RMDs) can be taken from any of your Traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRAs.

However, there are also some important considerations that Insight Enterprises should make before rolling over their money into an IRA, these include:

Internal management fees might be higher than in a Insight Enterprises-sponsored retirement plan.
Fees and expenses depend largely on the investments you choose.
Loans from an IRA are not allowed.
Early distributions may be subject to a 10% IRS tax penalty in addition to income tax.
RMDs begin April 1 following the year you reach 70½ and annually thereafter; leaving the money in the former Fortune-500 plan may allow RMDs to be delayed until separation from service.
IRAs are subject to state laws governing malpractice, divorce, creditors (outside of bankruptcy), and other lawsuits; leaving the money in the former Insight Enterprises-plan may provide additional protection against creditors.
Net unrealized appreciation (NUA) is the difference between what you paid for employer securities and their increased value. You lose favorable tax treatment of NUA if the funds are rolled into an IRA.

Hopefully, these insights will be helpful as you plan your retirement from Insight Enterprises.
