Last updated date: 8/9/2024

Overview

As part of WinnCompanies’ benefits package, you have access to a variety of additional programs that can help save you money and provide important protection and services. For detailed benefits information, log on to the Aptia365 website.

Commuter Benefits

Commuter benefits allow you to lower your commuting costs by using pre-tax dollars to pay for qualified transportation expenses, such as transit passes and parking.

  • It’s easy and flexible. You decide how much to contribute, and the money is deducted from your paycheck automatically each month and placed on a debit card for your use.
  • Pre-tax deductions are allowed up to the IRS limit of $315 per month for transit and/or $315 per month for parking. If you need to contribute more than the IRS pre-tax limit, please reach out to the HRHelpdesk@winnco.com to request post-tax dollars be deducted from your paycheck and uploaded to your Aptil365 card.
  • Qualified transit expenses include transit passes and vanpool expenses.
  • Qualified parking expenses include parking costs while you are at work.
  • You can enroll at any time (not just during Open Enrollment), and your account is not subject to the “use it or lose it” rule that applies to other FSAs.

Enroll in Commuter Benefits anytime through Aptil365

Your deductions will be taken out of the first and second paychecks of the month prior to the designated month (first, second, third, and fourth for New York team members). For example, if you sign up for commuter benefits in August, the deduction will be reflected in the first and second paycheck you receive in July.

Auto and Home Insurance

Most auto and home insurance experts suggest you review your coverage annually to make sure you’re getting the best coverage for your rates.

Purchasing auto and home insurance through Aptia365 could provide you with savings of up to 15%. Farmers GroupSelect* gives you access to a variety of personal insurance policies, including automobile, home**, condo**, landlord’s rental dwelling, mobile home, renters, recreational vehicle, boat and personal excess liability.

You can elect auto/home insurance during open enrollment or throughout the year. Visit the link provided on Aptia365 to enroll. These are individual policies made available to you at group rates. Payment is available via direct billing to your home.

Note: The Aptia365 confirmation statement, which is generated once you have completed your 2024 elections, will not immediately show the Auto/Home Insurance election or the cost of the coverage.

*Farmers GroupSelect is not offered in California; residents of California will be offered a comparable product.

**Home and condo coverage is not offered in Florida. There are coastal restrictions and volatility management plans (i.e. wildfires) in states across the US including Massachusetts, California and Louisiana.

Identity Theft Protection

Allstate Identity Protection's industry-leading identity protection plan offers you proactive identity and credit monitoring, giving you the most comprehensive solution to fight today’s identity fraud issues.

Pet Insurance

You work hard to provide your family with everything they need. So whether your family includes kids with two feet or four paws, you know what responsibility looks like.

Pets are unpredictable. While it’s hard to anticipate accidents and illnesses, Nationwide® pet insurance makes it a little easier to be prepared for them. From preventive care visits to significant medical incidents, Nationwide provides protection for pets when you need it most. Nationwide policies cover a multitude of medical problems and conditions related to accidents and illnesses, including cancer. You are free to use any veterinarian worldwide—even specialists and emergency care providers. Best of all, Aptia365 participants are eligible to receive preferred pricing. Visit the link provided on the Aptia365 website to visit Nationwide’s site, where you can enroll or change your Pet Insurance coverage. You will make your elections within the Nationwide site, rather than your Aptia365 enrollment site. Note: Your elections will not appear on your Aptia365 confirmation statements, but on a separate confirmation statement from Nationwide.
