Benefits

Transferring employee benefits like Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) to a new provider can be complex and time-consuming. Lively’s Universal File feature streamlines the process by handling data mapping, reducing back-and-forth with providers, and improving security. With fewer manual tasks and faster implementation, HR teams can focus on supporting employees instead of managing complicated transitions.

Stacked benefits cards simplify access to accounts like HSAs, LPFSAs, and LSAs by combining them on a single card. This reduces confusion, improves benefit usage, and streamlines administration for both employees and employers.
