What do you all think is the future of Dental and Disability products?
Have heard about old, clunky legacy systems that are complicated/messy, negative impacts of offshoring, disorganized teams, etc.
Those are core products within USB and worried if they aren't performing well, how that would impact job security...
Also know know how Group Life is doing?

Working here. I don’t have any benefits as a cw. Paid thousands of dollars just to go to the dentist. I also regret spending money on expensive clothes just to impress girls.

Has anyone here used the dentist on campus? Curious if the experience was good.

In the U.S. healthcare town hall this week Bryan H. said the “vast majority” of 2026 layoffs were done by Feb. and now they're primarily looking into IFP.

Well, there were just more layoffs in Dental yesterday. This is on top of about 15% of our org being cut in Jan/Feb so it’s clearly not over yet. We’re really going to struggle to keep the business going.

Anyone hear of other layoffs this week?

Need some advice I’m
Planning on going on short term disability due to treatment needed I know my role is safe up to 12 weeks for FMLA how about if my short term is extended to another 12 weeks , I understand I may not be paid but whatever about the benefits like my medical dental etc do I get it keep those and pay my current share of cost per usual

Cigna just merged dental & mental health. Wow, Sean Carroll is going to be 2x busy for the same pay. Mental Dental, they should just let Dr. Seuss lead cigna at this point.

Anyone know what’s happening there?

As a union worker, the union provides dental and vision coverage. when you retire do you still have dental and vision coverage? TIA for info.

Anyone else having issues as well?

Membership is very low. Any layoff rumours?

Are healthcare contributions paid in full by Vz, or is the affected employee still responsible for the portion he or she has been paying all along? Are dental and vision included in the coverage along with health?

Was part of the Sept 22 impact with effective date Oct 3. Health insurance is extended through the end of the impact month, however FSA cutoff is the last day worked. I scrambled to more a dental procedure from November to mid-Oct only to find out ot won't be eligible for FSA dental coverage since it was not prior to Oct 3. The paperwork provided is confusing at best and no one walks you through it. I am out $1200 of unused FSA because I thought I had til Oct 31. Don't make my mistake.

The separation letter says that Oracle will pay for 1 month of Cobra insurance and that's retroactive to the termination date. Does anybody know if that includes dental and vision as well?

Since it seems to be that time already. which plan carrier do you guys have and or are you switching or keeping your current.

Dental Premiums are also going up so I'm interested to see what that will be. I have the PPO since I'd rather pull my own teeth than step foot in a dental dental again
