Simply Insured automatic payroll deductions still happening or not?

I acknowledge the confusion you're experiencing regarding the collaboration of SimplyInsured and QuickBooks, wes26. I'm here to lay out more details and clarifications about this.

Indeed, QuickBooks will no longer support SimplyInsured. As a result, automated deductions for plans with this health broker will be discontinued and will take effect starting August 31, 2024.

Consequently, there will be no changes to the existing customer's policy. If you have more concerns regarding your existing health plan, kindly contact SimplyInsured or the carrier.

Please know that the implementation's goal is to provide the best experience to every user. The transition to Allstate Health Solutions is essential in continued dedication to enhancing customer service and offering more comprehensive and cost-effective healthcare solutions.

Furthermore, after August 31, 2024, if SimplyInsured payroll deductions need to be updated, customers will need to make the changes inside of QuickBooks and update the deductions in their employees’ profiles. To maintain automated deduction updates, you can switch your broker to Allstate Health Solutions by maximizing the broker of record change.

By changing your broker:

• The cost and coverage of your plan remain the same.
• You can continue to pay the same premiums and receive the same benefits as carriers currently support them.
• There will be no gaps in your plan coverage. You can initiate the process at any time of the year.

If you choose to link your existing plan to Allstate Health Solutions, kindly follow these steps:

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to the Payroll menu and then Benefits.
3. Select the Connect existing plan button. Then, follow the on-screen process of providing the necessary details and sign the electronic document to initiate the broker of record change.
4. Once the letter is submitted, the carrier will designate Allstate Health Solutions as your new broker. The switching process might take a few weeks, depending on the carrier.
