Updated 10/25/2026 · Some 2027 choices lock for a year

Did you get your free money yet?

The system pays families who know the rules. See what yours is missing.

A match you have to opt into. A $1,000 seed you have to elect. Pre-tax accounts nobody explains. Most of this money sits behind choices that start switched off. We price each one for your family and show the switch that collects it.

How the money leaks

Five leaks in one family’s paycheck. Five switches close them.

None of this is a loophole. These are rules written into tax law and your benefits plan. Each switch is one choice in the benefits portal; after that, payroll moves the money every pay period, before it reaches checking.

All five switches on: $5,787 a year stays with the family, plus $1,000 one-time.

Example: $75,000 salary paid every 2 weeks, one child in daycare, family HDHP, 15% ESPP, Texas. Same family as the statement above.

Send this to a coworker

One question starts it: “Did you get your free money yet?”

The 5-minute checklist walks them through all five switches, screen by screen, with the one question to ask HR. One tap to send. No sign-up.
