Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for American International Group American International Group (AIG) does not operate its own health insurance plans but partners with various insurance providers to offer services. Key partners include major healthcare insurers such as UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and Cigna, among others. These collaborations allow AIG to provide diverse health insurance options to its clients in a variety of markets. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As AIG navigates the changing healthcare landscape, a significant rise in health insurance premiums is anticipated for 2026, particularly within the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. Reports indicate that some states may experience premium hikes exceeding 60%, driven by factors such as increasing medical costs, the expiration of federal premium subsidies, and aggressive rate increases by major insurers. Without congressional action to extend enhanced subsidies, an estimated 22 million enrollees could face out-of-pocket premium increases of over 75%, potentially pricing many middle-income Americans out of affordable coverage. This convergence of market forces poses substantial challenges for both insurers and consumers alike, reshaping the healthcare landscape in the coming years. Click here to learn more
Most American International Group employees have already heard of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, if they or someone they know has plans to attend a college, career school, or university. Last year, around 70% of families submitted a FAFSA to the Department of Education to secure financial assistance. But what many prospective and current students may overlook are the various federal grants awarded to students in need each year.
Granted value
Most federal grants, unlike loans, function as sources of funding. There are some exceptions, though. For example, if a student is awarded a grant, but withdraws from the program in which they’re enrolled, they may be required to pay back all or a portion of that grant.
Know your grants
The Department of Education offers multiple aid packages as part of the Federal Student Grant Program and all American International Group employees should be aware of them. The following four are granted most often, and each has different requirements for eligibility. The information below applies to the 2023-2024 academic year:
- Federal Pell Grants - With a maximum award of $6,895, Pell Grants are reserved for undergraduate students who have exceptional financial need and have not earned a bachelor’s, graduate, or professional degree yet.
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEO) - FSEO Grants award a maximum of $4,000 to those who demonstrate exceptional need and have not yet earned a bachelor’s or graduate degree. FSEO Grants also give priority to Pell Grant recipients over other applicants.
- Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants - These grants award a maximum of $6,895, and they’re only for students whose parent or guardian served in a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and died while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan after the events of 9/11.
- Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants - TEACH Grants award a maximum of $4,000, and they’re reserved for students who are enrolled in teaching preparation programs and agree to teach for a minimum of 4 years at the elementary or secondary school level in a high-need field.
