Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for BrightView Holdings: BrightView Holdings offers its employees access to healthcare solutions through various insurers participating in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. As employees explore their options for 2026, a variety of plans will be available that align with their individual healthcare needs. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026: In 2026, BrightView Holdings employees may face substantial increases in healthcare costs, primarily due to anticipated surges in ACA marketplace premiums. With some insurers indicating rate hikes of over 60%, many employees could see their out-of-pocket expenses dramatically rise, particularly if the enhanced federal subsidies expire. The combination of elevated medical costs, corporate shifts towards cost-sharing, and changes in plan structures may further strain budgets, making it crucial for employees to proactively review benefit options ahead of the new year. Understanding these dynamics can help employees navigate potential challenges in maintaining affordable healthcare access. Click here to learn more
Most BrightView Holdings 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 BrightView Holdings 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.
