Getting Married

Compare your health and welfare coverage.

Review your JCPenney and your spouse’s health and welfare coverage to determine which is the right fit for your new family. You can add your spouse to your coverage or end your JCPenney coverage if you are moving to your spouse’s policy. Some key considerations as you decide:

• Cost vs. Coverage: Balance premium rates with the level of care.

• Network Scope: Ensure your preferred healthcare providers are in-network.

• Your Unique Needs: Evaluate coverages for specialized treatments or medications you may need.

Optimize savings and planning.

As you blend your lives, don't forget to harmonize your financial plans as well. From boosting your HSA contributions to re-evaluating your 401(k) goals, here's how you can make the most of your employee benefits to secure a prosperous future together.

Maximize your accounts.

If you are enrolled in the one of the two HSA medical plans and add your spouse, you can increase your HSA contribution up to the IRS family limits. See the Benefits Guide for more information.

Plan for your future.

Discuss your long-term strategy with your new spouse. Are you setting enough aside in your 401(k) to reach your goals? Retirement may seem like a long time away, but remember, making small contributions each paycheck can yield a big savings balance over time.
