The expansion of the gig economy has highlighted the benefits gap that non-traditional workers operate in. They are forced to choose between an expensive individual insurance market or opting out entirely. Many choose to opt-out, leaving them and their families solely responsible for high medical costs down the road.
Workers Benefit Fund was founded to find a better solution for gig workers. They are passionate about partnering with platforms, policy leaders, and labor unions to re-envision what’s possible for gig workers and their families. They’ve already provided benefits to thousands of gig workers, and are just getting started.
