Chemours remains committed to supporting employees in their wellness journey by providing tools and resources that allow each individual to prioritize their overall wellbeing. We know that offering robust benefit programs that support the physical, financial and emotional needs of our employees is a critical component to our Pathway to Thrive.
We recognize that this year has brought many challenges, and we remain deeply committed to your physical, financial, and emotional well-being. Despite historic inflation and healthcare costs projected to rise by over 10% in 2026, Chemours will absorb approximately $10.2 million in increased costs. As a result, you will not see any premium increases for medical, dental, and vision coverage in 2026.
What’s New for 2026
- Teladoc Health: Acute care and virtual primary care visits, including new patient and follow-up visits, will be offered at no cost.
- Purchased Vacation: You now have the option to purchase up to 48 hours of purchased vacation. The order in which purchased vacation hours are used, as well as the existing use-it-or-lose it policy, will remain unchanged.
- Dependent Care FSA: The annual contribution limit has increased to $7,500. (Highly compensated employees could be limited based on tax status)
- Dependent Eligibility: Coverage includes your lawful spouse OR a state-recognized common law spouse (with state issued documentation).
- Bereavement Leave Update: Pregnancy loss/miscarriage, will now be covered under our Bereavement Policy, allowing up to 5 days of paid leave for either parent.
Taking care of your physical and mental health is essential for navigating life’s uncertainties. Please take time to explore your benefit options carefully and choose the plans that meet your unique needs.
To your good health,
Chemours U.S. Benefits Team
