SIMERPU Educational Certification

Recognizes completion of SIMERPU’s educational requirements. No recipient or credential number has been assigned to this preview.

BRING THE QUESTION

Start with the questions people skip.

Available now: Field Note 001. Before you explain a SIMERP, ask what is proposed, who owns each responsibility, which assumptions support the numbers, which questions need a specialist, and what happens next.

What exactly is being proposed?

Identify the arrangement and the documents that describe it.

Who owns each responsibility?

Clarify the roles of the employer, agent, administrator, payroll team, and professional advisers.

What assumptions are behind the numbers?

Ask what inputs were used and what could change the illustration.

Which questions need a specialist?

Recognize when qualified tax, legal, or benefits expertise is needed.

What happens next?

Clarify implementation, employee communication, administration, and ongoing support.

Better questions lead to better decisions.

Find the people doing the work.

Explore professional backgrounds, published contributions, and earned SIMERPU credentials in one place.

Directory in development. Opt-in profiles and search will launch when approved records are available. Public access will be free.

Read the source. Examine the claim. Ask the next question.

Read original SIMERPU analysis in Insights & Reports. IRS Updates, Article Reviews, Virtual Care Reviews, and Employer Experiences remain separate collections; new material will appear as it is approved.

Industry Intelligence

If you have been in this industry more than a year, you have heard someone say the IRS tried to kill wellness reimbursement plans in 2023 and failed. I want to walk through what actually happened, because the version most of us carry around is wrong, and the wrong version is now a liability in at least two states.

Why I built SIMERPU.

Too many people were being asked to explain programs they had never been properly taught to understand. I built SIMERPU to help close that gap—with practical education, stronger questions, and a community willing to keep learning.
