Inside IBH: Free Financial And Legal Tools

You are here

Thursday, April 11, 2013

Lehigh’s Employee Assistance Provider (EAP) Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) is a good place to turn for mental and behavioral health resources. But did you know you can also access financial information and legal forms on their website as well?

All of the materials are free for Lehigh faculty and staff. And it’s easy to find these resources. 

Start by logging into the IBH Work-Life Resources website:

  • Go to the IBH website
  • Select the Work-Life Resources link at the bottom of the page
  • Use the Lehigh login: Lehigh and password: univ03 to enter the Work-Life Resources site.


From the main Work-Life Resources page, you can select the “Living” tab and then go to “Financial” or “Legal.” These areas of the website also intersect, so you’ll find legal resources within the financial pages and vice versa.
 




The financial pages of the website include over 200 informational articles. The Financial Calculators section includes numerous simple tools you can use to answer important questions, like “Should I refinance?” “How much car can I afford?” and “What will my mortgage payment be?” 





In the Legal section, you’ll find templates for key documents such as wills and power of attorney. 





In this column, we’ve barely scratched the surface of what is available. There are numerous categories within the financial and legal sections on the IBH Work-Life Resources website.  If you are caring for an elderly or disabled loved one, considering buying a home, refinancing your mortgage, becoming a landlord, or experiencing any other major life change, there will likely be advice and tools for you on the site. 

Of course, IBH representatives are also available by phone to help you if you can’t find what you need on line. Their phone number is 1-800-395-1616.
