Your Benefits Broker Should Save You More Than They Cost.
Most employers overpay for benefits — not because they’re careless, but because they don’t have an expert in their corner at renewal time. JS Benefits Group delivers measurable, documented savings through smarter plan design, aggressive carrier negotiation, and compliance that prevents costly mistakes.

The Numbers Are Staggering.
Healthcare costs are projected to rise 7–8% in 2026, yet 67% of employers renew without ever shopping the market — because carriers count on that inertia. We don’t let that happen. From level-funded plan design to ACA compliance, our clients typically save 15–30% in year one — and every service is included at no additional cost.

Real Employers. Real Savings.
A Pennsylvania manufacturer with 145 employees saved $187,000 in year one. A New Jersey firm avoided $94,500 in IRS penalties. A Delaware healthcare organization reduced premiums by 22% — while employees actually preferred the new plan.

Find Out What You’re Leaving on the Table.
A free benefits analysis takes less than an hour and shows you exactly what your current plan is costing you — and what a smarter strategy would save. No pressure. No obligation. Just numbers.

An employer healthcare stipend is a fixed, often taxable, amount of money provided to employees to help cover costs for individual health insurance premiums, deductibles, or copays. Unlike traditional group plans, it offers flexibility by allowing employees to select their own coverage, often used by small businesses.

The ICHRA is a low maintenance, tax-free reimbursement account that you can use as a health plan. You simply reimburse your employees tax-free for their healthcare. An ICHRA satisfies the ACA requirement and scales with your team, allowing you to offer robust attractive health benefits.

Please fill out and submit the following form and we will contact you soon.

States, as of 2022, that have mandated insurance requirements

California – the penalty for Californians who go without health insurance may be 2.5 percent of household income or $696 per adult (this number will rise yearly with inflation), whichever is larger.

Massachusetts – the tax penalty amount varies depending on your income, age and family size, but note the maximum penalty can be no more than half the price of the lowest premium plan available on the Massachusetts healthcare marketplace. For more information on Massachusetts health insurance mandates, click here.

New Jersey – the tax penalty is $695 for adults and $347.50 for each child, with a maximum family penalty of 2.5 percent of annual income. The penalty is capped at three times the adult penalty ($2,085), or the state average cost for a bronze-level plan, whichever is greater. For more information on New Jersey health insurance mandates, click here.

Vermont – Vermont has passed legislation that requires residents to have qualifying health insurance in 2020, but the penalty for non-compliance has not yet been established.

We’ll also provide background checks, assessment tests, and act as a strong intermediary between our client and the candidate to negotiate and facilitate a successful hire.

  • Allows our clients to keep a pulse on the hidden candidate pool, giving them constant access to the type of candidates that will support their company culture and overall goals.

Retained Search Agreement

A retained search agreement sets forth expectations, responsibilities and outcomes between the client and JS Benefits.  This exclusive arrangement allows us to devote a majority of our time and resources to finding the candidate you need, even those rare, hard-to-find candidates, when you need them.

The major advantages of a retained search include:

  • Guaranteed timeline for delivery of viable candidates that fit all the requirements of the position.

  • A retained search surrounds the opportunity with prestige and authenticity, creating an allure to attract top talent to the position.
