Service area
Focused service for Delaware's largest employer corridor
SSGI is prioritizing New Castle and Kent counties while serving eligible Delaware employers under its statewide license.
Kent County
Central Delaware employer market
Support for small, growing, and established organizations that need a clear renewal process and year-round service accountability.
Multi-state Delaware teams
Employees working across state lines
Network, eligibility, leave, payroll, and communication questions should be mapped to employee work locations instead of handled as a one-state assumption.
Decision framework
What Delaware employers should coordinate
The official Delaware program rules control. SSGI's role is to help organize benefits and vendor decisions around those responsibilities—not to act as the state, plan approver, or legal adviser.
Delaware Paid Leave responsibilities
Delaware Labor states that most businesses with 10 or more employees must participate. Coverage lines and employer obligations depend on workforce facts, so current official guidance should be checked for the specific organization.
Leave, disability, and employer policy alignment
Identify where paid-leave benefits, short- or long-term disability, PTO, FMLA administration, and employer communication interact or remain separate.
Small-employer health options
Compare available group coverage and contribution approaches using current carrier and market information; do not assume another state's plan design or network will transfer cleanly.
ICHRA for a Delaware workforce
If an ICHRA is considered, evaluate individual-market availability, affordability, employee classes, notices, administration, and the effect on employees before deciding.
How SSGI works
A regional review with clear ownership
The first conversation stays at the business level. Employee medical or claims information is not needed.
1. Separate the obligations
List what belongs to group benefits, paid leave, disability, payroll, HR policy, carrier administration, and employee communication.
2. Evaluate the benefits strategy
Compare current coverage, renewal economics, networks, employer contributions, supporting benefits, and viable alternative structures.
3. Build one operating calendar
Coordinate renewal, enrollment, paid-leave actions, notices, payroll responsibilities, and year-round issue routing with named owners.
