Webinar for Pastors: Understanding HSAs & FSAs with EBC on February 12th
Navigating employee benefits can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). These tools can be a tremendous blessing to church staff—but only if church leaders understand how they work and how to administer them well.
To support pastors and church administrators in this important work, the GMC Benefits Team is hosting an upcoming webinar focused on the practical administration of HSAs and FSAs through Employee Benefits Corporation (EBC).
