COMPANY STORY

Decades Of Caring For Workers and Employers

Since 1983, Fringe Benefit Group and its affiliate companies have helped thousands of employers design and administer benefit programs for the prevailing wage market. During its history, the company has significantly expanded both its capabilities and offering, becoming a leading provider of benefits solutions for government contractors and variable hour employers, including many Fortune 500 and ENR 400 firms.

Fringe Benefit Group was founded to provide bona fide benefit plans to government contractors working under the Davis-Bacon Act and the Service Contract Act. The knowledge and experience gained during these years eventually led to the development of The Contractors Plan, a comprehensive benefits program offering retirement plans and major medical, dental, vision and life insurance designed specifically for government contractors. Specialization in the prevailing wage market led Fringe Benefit Group to develop The American Worker, which offers effective group benefit plans designed specifically for hourly and part-time workers. The American Worker was the first solution of its kind to develop an enrollment platform and customer support call center designed to answer the challenges of a variable hour workforce.

Today, Fringe Benefit Group has built long-term relationships with many of the nation’s leading carriers, including Nationwide, Cigna, Anthem, United Healthcare, Ameritas, Kaiser Permanente, MetLife, Fidelity Security Life, and several Blue Cross Blue Shield members. Since the beginning, Fringe Benefit Group has focused on marketing and distributing its products through a growing national network of brokers and agents. The company is actively involved in major trade associations, including the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc., the American Subcontractors Association, the Construction Industry CPAs/Consultants Association and the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers. With regional offices across the country, Fringe Benefit Group is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
