Deputy administrator Dawn Houston recommended that the county renew group life and other voluntary benefit plans with Voya, Colonial and Ameriflex for the 2027 plan year after the county's broker solicited five market quotes.
Houston said the county's claims experience with Voya had been positive and that the broker's process produced a 41% decrease in the premium for group life insurance. She recommended staying with Voya for the next one to two years and continuing Colonial and Ameriflex options for employees, noting increased enrollment in flexible spending accounts. "I am recommending that we stay with Voya," she said.
The board moved, seconded and approved Resolution 26-723 to renew the county's benefits arrangements. Commissioners encouraged employees to consider Ameriflex flexible spending accounts and said the renewal will allow the county to follow IRS guidance when published for 2027.
