Navigating Healthcare for Farmers and Fishermen: Making Informed Financial Decisions
January 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Fishing Partnership, certified by the MA Health Connector and MassHealth, helps farmers and fishermen navigate health insurance options. With unpredictable income, making health insurance decisions can feel overwhelming. This workshop will cover MA healthcare programs, eligibility, maximizing Advanced Premium Tax Credits, estimating variable income, and leveraging Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plans to support retirement while managing net income and benefits. Discover practical strategies to leverage benefits for improved health and financial stability.
Managing and growing wealth can be challenging for any business, but farmers and fishermen face unique hurdles like seasonal and year-to year income variability. Unpredictable factors, such as weather, can impact crop yields, fishing conditions, and sales at outdoor markets or farm stands. Finding financial professionals who understand these challenges can be difficult, making it harder to build resilient agricultural businesses, plan for retirement, and prioritize health and well-being for owners and employees.
Join us for a January Lunch & Learn series designed specifically for farmers and fishermen with variable net income. This series will focus on making informed financial decisions around healthcare, tax and retirement strategies, estate tax planning, self-employment taxes, and managing cash flow to support wealth building and sustainable business growth.
These free, virtual workshops are open to all and are 12-1pm on Wednesday January 8, 15 and 22.
