Mental Health/Work-Life Support

When faced with a serious illness, life’s priorities become a lot clearer. In a situation like Robbie’s, Citi’s breadth of benefits can make all the difference to employees’ mental and emotional well-being — and their ability to pursue the goals most important to them.

How Citi Is There for Robbie

Here are the mental health and work-life resources Robbie turns to:

For Robbie, spending time with family is more important than ever. Thankfully, Citi’s Vacation Purchase Program allows employees to purchase five extra days off, so Robbie plans to take advantage of that during Annual Benefits Enrollment.

Robbie realizes that medical issues have a big impact on mental health, too. With help from the Live Well at Citi Program’s phone and digital coaching options, Robbie gets step-by-step assistance building stress management skills.

After getting a cancer diagnosis, Robbie’s head was spinning. A Citi Health Concierge was able to answer questions about the condition, find doctors and suggest available resources … providing real peace of mind at a very difficult time.

How Citi Is There for Robbie

Here are the benefits Robbie turns to for support with physical health needs:

Robbie has a long-time primary care doctor and values that relationship — it was a routine screening that detected Robbie’s cancer. Robbie’s doctor suggests an expert second opinion to ensure the best treatment plan, so Robbie turns to Included Health.

With a cancer diagnosis, Robbie suddenly faces new health challenges. MSK Direct connects Robbie to expert care from specialists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and provides logistical and emotional support every step of the way.

Looking ahead to retirement, Robbie plans to enroll in the High Deductible Plan with HSA during Annual Benefits Enrollment to build tax-free savings for future health care costs. HSA funds are never forfeited and can be invested after reaching a $1,500 balance.

Robbie’s health scare and a grandchild on the way reinforce how precious each day is. In order to spend more time with family next year, Robbie buys additional time off through Citi’s Vacation Purchase Program.

Financial Health

When retirement is right around the corner, every financial decision becomes even more important. And if health issues arise, there’s even more reason to plan carefully. If you’re like Robbie, who’s approaching 60 and wondering — “Will I have enough money to cover my costs in retirement?” “What more can I do to save?” — Citi’s benefits are here to help.

Citi supports your financial security with benefits that provide income protection, long-term savings and professional guidance.

How Citi Is There for Robbie

Here are the benefits that support Robbie’s financial health:

Robbie was diagnosed with cancer and needs surgery as part of the recommended treatment plan. To allow Robbie time to recover without losing income, Citi provides company-paid STD benefits for up to 13 weeks.

Short-Term Disability (STD) Coverage

Since Robbie’s enrolled in the High Deductible Plan with HSA with spouse coverage, Citi contributes $1,000 annually to Robbie’s HSA. And Robbie’s own tax-free contributions build on this (including $1,000 in catch-up contributions for ages 55+)!*

Health Savings Account (HSA)

Robbie makes catch-up contributions (available after age 50) to save as much as possible for retirement. Citi’s matching contribution on the first 6% of eligible pay help boost Robbie’s balance, too!

Retirement Savings Plan

With retirement nearing, Robbie seeks professional financial assistance through the Alight Financial Advisors Professional Management Program. For a fee, Robbie’s accounts are proactively managed by investment experts.

Professional Financial Management

*HSA funds can be withdrawn tax-free at any time for eligible health care expenses. After age 65, HSA funds can also be withdrawn for non-health care expenses without an added penalty tax (ordinary income tax applies).
