Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Broadridge Financial Solutions Broadridge Financial Solutions does not directly provide healthcare services; instead, it typically partners with major health insurers to offer comprehensive health insurance options to its employees. Employees at Broadridge often have access to plans from insurers like UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, Cigna, and others, depending on their location and specific employer agreements. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As 2026 approaches, significant healthcare cost increases loom for those enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans. Premium rates are projected to rise sharply, with some states anticipating hikes of over 60%. This surge is influenced by escalating medical costs, such as hospital services and prescription drugs, alongside the potential expiration of enhanced federal subsidies. If these enhancements are not renewed, individuals could see their out-of-pocket healthcare expenses rise by over 75%, severely impacting access to affordable health coverage. For Broadridge Financial Solutions employees, it is crucial to assess the implications of these potential increases on their healthcare budgeting and coverage decisions. Click here to learn more
Most Broadridge Financial Solutions 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 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.
