The bank will consolidate health and insurance benefits under one carrier; simplify its medical plans; give the majority of plan participants new, company-funded health care accounts to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses; and offer improved financial support for new parents, child care and ongoing education beginning in 2009.

"Bank of America is committed to helping our associates and their families receive the health and life management benefits they need," said Steele Alphin, Bank of America chief administrative officer. "Our new programs are responsive to their feedback, help Bank of America and our associates better manage the cost of health care and provide added financial support through improved parental leave, childcare and tuition programs."
