Put our public sector expertise to work for you

We can help you grow your business with new or existing public sector clients

In 1955, our first payroll deduction account was a state highway patrol, and they are still a customer today. Since then, we've come to serve more than 10,000 public sector accounts and 500,000 public sector employees.

Over the past 60 years, we've carved out a niche as a public sector expert. Why? Because it's the most challenging benefits environment we could find. And we know that if our solutions work there, they'll work for businesses anywhere.

We work with:

  • More than 40 state governments
  • More than 3,000 educational entities
  • More than 5,000 local governments
