Healthy Purdue incentive to be paid in early '09

Participants who completed a HealthPath Questionnaire and five apples by Nov. 7 as part of Healthy Purdue 2008 will earn $250 (before taxes), to be paid on the employee's paycheck in early 2009.

An online tracking system for Healthy Purdue is available at www.purdue.edu/healthypurdue.

At the site, participants can check their progress by clicking "Check My Apples." After logging in, click "2008" on the left-hand side.

Employees who leave Purdue or retire before the financial incentive is paid will not receive payment. They must be working at Purdue in benefit-eligible status at the time of the incentive payment in order to receive the $250 (before taxes).

Additional Healthy Purdue opportunities will be announced in 2009.
