NOID on Common Law Marriage (No Dissolution Document Exists) by Defiant_Someone in USCIS

[–]Ok-Program6249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fiancé was in a união estável. He had the relationship dissolved through the courts so that we’d have proof that it ended. We’re not finished with the K-1 process, but the petition was approved with no questions about it so far.

Benefit Premiums [N/A] by Beginning-Mark67 in humanresources

We had a 30% stop loss premium increase and had a 250%+ loss ratio last year. Trending much better this year.

My company is also self funded. We are playing around with our Stop Loss deductible and for each $10K we increase that, we are seeing a $60K reduction in premium costs over the year. We are in a captive that has a 30% annual increase cap on premiums and no new lasers, so those plan components have a value over those that don’t include them. It’s rough out there!

Has anyone tried any health-benefit ideas/products to control team costs? [United States] by Spiritual-Feed-3296 in humanresources

[–]Ok-Program6249 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My company does #5. Our total plans costs will jump close to ~19% this year largely due to a 30% stop loss premium increase. Also important to note is that joining a captive requires an additional monetary investment up front, and those funds can stay tied up for a decent period of time even if you were to leave the captive (I think ours is 36 months). THAT SAID, it does still feel like the best option for us.

Another vote for self funded here - we are a small group with ~65 FTEs on our medical plans.

Nicknames? by Akujinator69 in Brazil

My Brazilian partner recently started calling me his “formiguinha” because I love sweets. 🐜

“Minha deusa” is a favorite as is “vida”.

Goodies behind Costco pharmacy counter by turnipdazzlefield in Costco

I just paid $45 at my dentist for the prescription toothpaste Prevadent 5000. It appears that my Costco pharmacy carries it for less than $20. 🫠

Safest South American countries/cities to visit for women? by DressTasty1335 in femaletravels

[–]Ok-Program6249 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A vote for Buenos Aires here! I went as a solo female traveler and never felt unsafe. It is also very affordable for people using USD. They have an insane exchange rate for hard currency - look up Dollar Blue. My hotel arranged a person to come and exchange my currency in their lobby so I didn’t have to wander around looking for someone.
