NEWSLETTERS

To keep our employer clients up-to-date on issues important to them, JME sends out regular employer newsletters. We don’t send them every month but choose to wait until we have something to tell you. You can expect the newsletters to increase as we get closer to open enrollment. If your inbox is full and you’d prefer not to receive the newsletters by email, each one has an “unsubscribe” button. You can always find archived versions here in the Employer Resource Center.
