The top mistakes employees make when it comes to open enrollment, and how to avoid them;
How your benefits plans can save you money, and how to estimate your savings;
Which benefits can help lower your taxes;
Free tools to help you maximize your savings;
An important change that means you may want to max out your FSA contributions in 2012;
And the one simple change Congress could (and should) make to save workers hundreds of dollars.
