this is on top of the ATT 2023 W2; what is this Alight W2?
why some of surplused 2023 are getting this Alight W2....unfortunately ATT HR/benefit is not sure either, and Alight is not answering

Alight is a group of complete fools - total clown show, and good luck trying to speak to a human being at AT&T. The W2 from Alight that I received is for life insurance for the first 3 months of my CEC - Company Extended Coverage under the mgmt severance plan. After 3 months, they no longer allow life insurance or supplemental life for former employee despite medical CEC period lasting up to 6 months prior to the employee rolling to COBRA at 102% of the unsubsidized premium. Wouldn't be nice if Alight would include a sentence or two in the W2 so we don't have to be our own investigators?
amazing how T still wants to shamelessly $ ROB the surplused employees; this is robbing when they are forced to accept by default the supplemental life insurance with Metlife....T benefits with alot with metlife when there's more people in Metlife pot
@3duf+1qUIjPyp Call the benefit center. I know they can remove benefits you don't want cause I removed the supplemental life. They should be able to at least try to remove it for you. Let us know if it worked.
It's for the Group-Term Life insurance. I guess I will be getting one for next year too.
T benefits superviser told me that's part of the 18months Cobra, even tho I didn't accept Cobra; I asked for details where it states that we have to accept their "Group Life Insurance", and she indicated that she has to research it and let me know. Anyone else has this unwanted issue that's costing you at least $600 tax for 6months?
yes, how can we remove this unwanted "Group-Term Life insurance" for ex-employee to avoid unnecessary taxes; who can help?
HSA contributions by an employer are not reported on a W 2
T Benefits indicated that the "Group-Term Life insurance" for ex-employees don't pay premium, ATT pays for it, but you have to pay the taxes. Even if you don't need it, they have to provide, and they can't share any policy that indicates that. So, basically, they give something to you that you don't want it, but you still need to pay taxes. SAD, how can we remove this burden?
I also got got one for close to $1500 for "Group-Term Life insurance". the question is my T W2 already covered the "Group-Term Life insurance", then why Alight is W2 me again on same thing for me to pay tax twice on same item?
I retired in 2022, I also received an Alight W-2 statement and on the back the code says it's for life insurance premium paid be the company.
Something like 56 dollars, BUT, it did remind me to print out the insurance info and give it to my beneficiaries so that they can collect whenever that time arrives. We all know the company will not check if we are still alive and track down beneficiaries to pay.
Check the box # and code # on the W2. The back of the W2 will provide the explanation
On a retiree website, some are saying Alight Solutions is sending a W2 for retirement gifts. I called HR and payroll and nobody can tell me anything.
This is probably funds that you withdrew from your wellbeing account in 2023.
Did you contribute to an HSA and received a company match? Could be that.
Same here. I got one for $1700, how can we find out what for? Any help would be appreciated.
I got one. The amount is negligible, it's like $60, so can't be insurance premiums. I had some expenses reimbursed through them last Summer too, but again, that would have been several times higher. It would be nice to know it was coming regardless, as I got it after I already filed my taxes, and I don't really want to amend over $60.
@nkn+1qUIjPyp....thanks, but I didn't have any ATT insurance coverage after off payroll; my Alight W2 is ~$2k
If it's relatively small $ it could be for insurance premiums paid by T that count as income. Retirees get them from Alight, so it might make sense that separated employees do, too?
