Healthcare Provider Update: Lennar Corporation, primarily known as a home construction company, does not directly offer healthcare services. However, they often engage with major healthcare providers and insurers for employee health plans. One notable healthcare provider associated with Lennar is UnitedHealthcare, which offers health insurance products that can include coverage for Lennar's employees. As healthcare costs are poised to rise rapidly in 2026, various factors are contributing to this trend. The impending expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is projected to severely impact many enrollees, resulting in potential premium increases of over 75% for those who rely on these subsidies. This scenario is exacerbated by climbing medical costs, driven by inflation in hospital and drug expenses. As a result, consumers and employers alike are bracing for significant financial strain in the healthcare landscape as they prepare for this challenging year ahead. Click here to learn more
Most Lennar 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 Lennar 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.
