Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for ON Semiconductor ON Semiconductor partners with various health insurance providers to administer employee healthcare benefits. While the specific provider may vary based on location and employee needs, large national insurers such as UnitedHealthcare and Anthem BlueCross BlueShield are often utilized by companies of ON Semiconductor's size. This partnership emphasizes ON Semiconductor's commitment to providing comprehensive healthcare benefits to its workforce. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As we look ahead to 2026, ON Semiconductor, along with other companies, may face substantial increases in healthcare costs due to anticipated record hikes in premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans. Reports indicate that some states could experience premium increases over 60%, driven by factors such as rising medical costs and the potential expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies. This perfect storm of challenges is expected to push out-of-pocket premiums up by 75% or more for a significant number of enrollees, thereby amplifying the financial burden on employers and employees alike. Companies like ON Semiconductor will need to prepare for these increased costs in their healthcare budgets, particularly as the healthcare landscape continues to evolve dramatically.

Most ON Semiconductor 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 ON Semiconductor 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.
