Welcome Overview

In 2022, TaxSaver Plan, Inc. announced its partnership with Navia Benefit Solutions, a like-minded company that has provided benefits administration to nationwide employers for over 30 years. We have been very pleased with this partnership as it enables us to continue delivering exceptional service while leveraging Navia’s technology platform, offering expanded feature and resources. Together we provide a robust service infrastructure to better support both employers and participants.

Effective September 2, 2025, you may begin reporting new hires and events directly through the Navia Employer Portal. On September 22, 2025, we will migrate your COBRA/Direct Bill participants to Navia’s platform. This transaction will provide you with a better user experience and ease of administration. If you offer CDH plans (FSA, HSA, HRA, Commuter, etc.), those plans will migrate to Navia’s platform at your next renewal. Dedicated representatives from TaxSaver and Navia will manage all key activities associated with this migration to ensure a seamless experience with minimal disruption to you and your organization.

This website provides a summary of the transition process and serves as a central location for all your transition resources.
