Babies to Toddlers
& Beyond

Bringing home a new baby or keeping up with a toddler is exciting — and exhausting. Your benefits are designed to support growing families at every stage.

Review the 2027 Benefits eGuide for complete plan details.

Tiny Hands, Big Feelings — Yours Included

Available 24/7, get free, confidential support through Magellan Healthcare for the ups and downs of parenting a baby or toddler — endless feedings, sleepless-night exhaustion, or the general overwhelm of a new routine — whether or not you’re enrolled in an Office Depot medical plan.

You and every household member get five free in-person or virtual counseling sessions per issue per year covering:

  • Stress, anxiety, and postpartum mood changes
  • Depression or burnout from caregiving demands
  • Relationship or family tension during early parenthood, and more

Need more support? If you’re enrolled in a BCBSTX medical plan, a Teladoc Health Virtual Behavioral Specialist can see you virtually for just $10 per visit — no driving, waiting rooms, or time off needed.

Crayons, Cuddles, & Cash Flow

From Diapers to Daycare
— Plan With Purpose

Child-related costs add up fast — diapers, medical bills, time away from work. The EAP, through Magellan Healthcare, is a resource for exactly this, with free consultations on:

  • Child care referrals — help finding daycare, nannies, or backup daycare
  • Financial and legal services — budgeting, wills, family planning

Retirement and broader money-planning tools are also available anytime through Fidelity.

Covered Every Step of the Way

Legal Support for Everyday
Family Needs

Raising young children often comes with new legal questions. The LegalEASE plan covers attorney support and access to the LawAssure Online Document Center.

  • LegalEASE Attorney Support — Help with guardianship documents, child care agreements, landlord/tenant issues, consumer disputes, and estate planning.

Together, these resources make it easier to handle everyday legal matters and keep your family’s long‑term plans organized.

Protecting Your Family's Digital Identity

As your child begins to interact with health care systems, daycare providers, or early‑learning platforms, protecting your household's personal information becomes more important. IDShield offers identity, credit, and online privacy monitoring, with family plan options that extend coverage to children.

Voya Travel Assistance

Access free 24/7 medical and travel support when you’re more than 100 miles from home, included with your company‑paid Voya Life Insurance. Ideal for trips with young children, family visits, or travel for medical appointments.
