With the increasing costs of health insurance, we work to help make each other aware of programs that maximize our overall wellness and save money.
The two programs detailed below are within the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP). Many of these were negotiated or advised by AFT and other public sector unions; none has any financial relationship with any union or with Rutgers.
Wellness
NJWELL is an optional wellness program for members in Horizon and Aetna SHBP. When you enroll, you will be ‘nudged’ to take action for physical fitness, emotional balance, preventive care, social connection and financial security.
Earn points between November 1 and October 31 and you will receive a Visa Prepaid card up to $250.
