Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Antero Resources: Antero Resources employees primarily receive their healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. This allows them to navigate various plans and select options that best suit their individual and family needs. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026: As Antero Resources employees prepare for 2026, they may encounter significant healthcare cost increases driven by anticipated surges in ACA premiums. Some states could witness rate hikes exceeding 60%, primarily due to the expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies that currently mitigate costs for many consumers. This perfect storm of rising medical expenses, coupled with aggressive pricing from insurers, could result in over 75% of policyholders facing substantially higher out-of-pocket expenses. As healthcare affordability becomes a pressing concern, it is vital for employees to assess and adapt their coverage strategies ahead of the impending hikes. Click here to learn more
Most Antero Resources 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 Antero Resources 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.
