For public-sector employers
HigherEDGE accounts for differing demographics of the public sector compared to the private sector. Using a demographic profile that accurately depicts the public-employee population, HigherEDGE can analyze benefits whether they are provided through an employer plan, a state plan, or a trust or pool.
For higher-education employers
Milliman appreciates the significance of tuition assistance benefits and treats them as a core component of a benefits package. Because faculty and staff tend to reflect different demographics and, in some cases different benefit programs, HigherEDGE addresses this by running analysis separately for these groups. With the understanding that some public institutions participate in state benefit programs, HigherEDGE can collect and integrate state retirement, health, and welfare plans into the overall analysis, while also accurately evaluating institutions that opt out of social security.
