We hope you enjoy the long weekend and have a wonderful start to September!

With the back-to-school season upon us, this is an important time to review and update the student information for over-age dependents on your group benefits plan.

Dependents who have reached age 22 and are between ages 22–25 may continue to be eligible for coverage as long as they are actively attending school on a full-time basis. To ensure their coverage remains active, it is important that their school information is reviewed and updated each year. 

We are incredibly proud to share some exciting news: benefitsConnect Canada has been recognized by Vanguard as the “Best Insurance Business of the Year – 2026 – Canada.” 

"benefitsConnect bets on app-first approach to plan consulting"

Paul Crossdale explains how benefitsConnect's app consolidates total rewards, speeds up plan administration, and uses AI to cut costs for plan sponsors 

The second quarter of 2026 brought a number of legislative changes and regulatory developments at both the federal and provincial levels. Several of these changes may have an impact on employer-sponsored benefit plans, workplace policies, and employee administration.

 To help you stay informed and prepared, benefitsConnect has created a Q2 2026 Legislative & Regulatory Update summary outlining some of the key developments from the past quarter, along with important takeaways for employers to consider.

While not every change will apply to every organization, it is a helpful resource to ensure you are aware of developments that may affect your employees, benefit plan administration, or workplace practices.

If you have questions, please contact your Client Success Representative or Advisor.
