Healthcare Provider Update: Beazer Homes USA provides healthcare benefits through its association with major insurance carriers, though the specific healthcare provider is not explicitly mentioned. However, typical providers for many such companies often include national insurers like UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, or Cigna, underscoring the importance of verifying the exact plan through the company's HR resources or internal communications. As we look ahead to 2026, Beazer Homes USA employees should anticipate significant healthcare cost increases. With premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans projected to rise sharply-some states facing hikes over 60%-the burden will likely shift to employees. Many employers, including Beazer, may respond to escalating healthcare expenses by raising deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, potentially heightening the financial strain on workers. Proactive engagement with benefit planning and understanding these impending changes will be crucial for employees to navigate their healthcare options effectively. Click here to learn more
Most Beazer Homes USA 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 Beazer Homes USA 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.
