Beforeadding a rider to an insurance policy, the holder should weigh the cost of the rider and decide whether they really need it. It is also wise to check that the rider does not duplicate coverage already included in the basic policy.
A standalone insurance policy will typically offer more coverage than a rider. Thus, check with an insurance expert whether you should invest in a whole new policy rather than rely on a rider for coverage.
The General Appropriations Act, House Bill 1 (H.B. 1), Article II, Rider 40, is effective September 1, 2023. Rider 40 prohibits the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) from using appropriated funds to promote or advertise COVID-19 vaccinations as stated below.
COVID-19 Vaccinations: None of the General Revenue funds appropriated to the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) may be used for the purposes of promoting or advertising COVID-19 vaccinations in the 2024-2025 biennium. It is also the intent of the legislature that to the extent allowed by federal law, any federal funds allocated to DSHS shall be expended for activities other than promoting or advertising COVID-19 vaccinations.
DSHS and entities funded by DSHS must not promote or advertise COVID-19 vaccinations. Under this guidance, COVID-19 vaccinations can be listed alongside other Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended vaccines in educational materials. However, COVID-19 vaccinations should not be singled out from other vaccines, listed alone, or otherwise listed in a manner meant to promote or advertise COVID-19 vaccinations. Clinics may inform patients that COVID-19 vaccinations are available if it is not being singled out from other vaccines.
In the state budget, a rider gives instructions on how appropriated funds may or may not be spent. Rider 40 prohibits the use of DSHS-appropriated funds to promote or advertise COVID-19 vaccinations in the state fiscal year 2024-2025 biennium, which lasts from September 1, 2023, to August 31, 2025. This includes any downstream spending from DSHS-appropriated funds, including those who contract with DSHS.
Rider 40 applies to DSHS and contractors that receive DSHS-appropriated funds. Rider 40 only applies to funds appropriated through the state budget and does not affect how a contractor may spend money from other sources.
Yes. COVID-19 pamphlets and other educational materials can be distributed. However, COVID-19 vaccinations should not be singled out from other vaccines, listed alone, or otherwise listed in a manner meant to promote or advertise COVID-19 vaccinations.
You may have seen recent news coverage of customers of financial services companies falling victim to social engineering scams. Scammers impersonate a trusted company to convince their targets into revealing or handing over sensitive information such as insurance, banking or login credentials. This scamming can happen via text, email or websites set up to look like the trusted company.
With that in mind, a stand-alone long-term care insurance policy may work best for your needs. Consider factors like your financial circumstances and overall health to determine if a long-term care rider or insurance policy is right for you.
An accidental death rider provides your beneficiaries with additional money if you die due to an accident. In most cases, the amount is equal to your existing life insurance death benefit and doubles the amount of money your beneficiaries will receive.
Low (or no) deductibles: Insurance riders often come with lower deductibles compared to a basic insurance policy. As a result, your insurance payout may be significantly higher after adding a rider.
Extra savings: You may be able to save money by purchasing an insurance rider instead of an additional insurance policy. Generally, adding additional coverage through a rider costs less per month than the premium on a stand-alone policy.
Ultimately, only you can determine if adding an insurance rider to your existing policy is right for you. In some cases, a rider may help you save money by reducing out-of-pocket expenses and monthly premium costs. Riders can also help you customize your insurance plan to get the coverage and benefits you and your loved ones need.
However, there are some instances when an additional insurance policy may be a better fit. For instance, purchasing a stand-alone long-term care policy can cover costs related to ongoing medical treatment without forcing you to pay for care yourself or draw from your death benefit.
Municipal governments, county governments, regional governmental organizations or private organizations are eligible to sponsor a circuit which will consist of two or more municipalities. The municipalities must be within reasonable proximity to each other.
The annual funding allocation is determined by an appropriation of the General Assembly each year. Grant funds can only be used to pay for salary and fringe benefits for circuit rider staff over a two year period.

The multi-rider feature allows up to five riders on one SEPTA Key card. Taps can be on a single bus/trolley validator or a combination of taps on different turnstiles at a station. Multi-rider is available on all modes including bus, trolley, Broad Street Line [B], Market-Frankford Line [L], Norristown High Speed Line [M] and Regional Rail.
The threshold is $20 and the autoload minimum is $10. Your Travel Wallet account must have a balance equal to the minimum amount required for the multi-rider trips. For example, $10 to tap on a bus five times.
All multi-rider taps must occur within one minute of the initial tap. Wait for the validator response (green check and accept tone) between each tap. If there is a delay in the validator response, wait until you get the confirmation. Do not tap more than one time for each ride. You can still use your SEPTA Key card as a solo rider with multi-rider turned on, just do not double tap.
The fare rules for multi-rider are the same as a solo ride SEPTA Key card or using cash or contactless. The SEPTA Key card multi-rider feature includes up to two free transfers on bus, trolley, Broad Street Line [B], Market-Frankford Line [L] and Norristown High Speed Line [M]. On Regional Rail there is a two-hour trip limit. Riders must tap-on and tap-off for correct fare.

The World Championship Hunter Rider Program was founded in 1992 to recognize and celebrate the hunter rider. Since the inaugural WCHR Professional Finals in 1992, the WCHR program has expanded to include coveted year-end awards for Professionals, Developing Professionals, Amateur Owners, Adult Amateurs, Juniors, Children's and Pony riders. WCHR Program Participants qualify for National and Regional Awards by earning points at WCHR Events held across the country throughout the qualifying year. Points from a rider's top four WCHR Events will be used to determine the National and Regional standings. Each year the top ten nationally ranked riders and top six regionally ranked riders in each category, come together to compete in the WCHR Finals at the Capital Challenge Horse Show in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
The country will be divided geographically into eight regions, and there will be a maximum number of WCHR Competitions during the qualifying year with some measure of geographic balance, variance of dates and constituency opportunity.
Each year, the top 10 nationally ranked riders in each WCHR category, as well as the top six riders from each region, are invited to compete in their respective WCHR Challenge at the Capital Challenge Horse Show (exception Handy). Challenge classes are run in either a one or two round hunter classic format. The points earned from the Challenge classes are then added to points previously earned at WCHR Competitions and the Capital Challenge Horse Show to crown a WCHR National Champion in each category.
