DEPENDENT Payroll Deductions

You are eligible to enroll in the 401(k) immediately upon hire. TMF will contribute 5% to your account after one year of employment with at least 1,000 hours of service, no employee contribution required.

The plan is a "Pooled Employer Plan" sponsored by Fellow Travelers. The 401K plan is "shared" by many companies to keep costs & fees low.

You will automatically be enrolled (into a target date fund) if you are eligible with a 3% salary deferral if you do not make an election. This election will INCREASE by 1% each year unless you make an election. If you have already made an election, that will be salary deferral unless a new election is received.

You can get more information about the Fellow Travelers 401K plan HERE.

*Our dental insurance is through the Fellow Travelers Benefits Program. Your dental insurance card will have "Fellow Travelers" listed as the employer.

Our dental insurance is exceptional! It effectively eliminates network restrictions by reimbursing out-of-network visits at in-network copay and coinsurance rates in almost all cases. However, we encourage using in-network providers whenever possible, as higher in-network usage helps secure better renewal rates for the future.

Our insurance is provided through Humana and offers excellent benefits. The vision insurance is especially valuable for those who regularly use glasses or contacts. The pre-tax premiums are likely lower than your annual vision care expenses.

This vision insurance can be used on top of the vision benefits with the health insurance. You can be double reimbursed for the same contacts / lenses. You should use the Humana insurance first, then request the reimbursement from health insurance vision coverage after.
