For this homework we were supposed to interview our parents or someone else who we know about the benefit packages they receive form their employers. This task turned out to be much more complicated than I thought it would, because on the one side the parents of an international student are naturally within a complete different benefit system than American employees, which makes it hard to compare and on the other side I just know some persons who are employed at the University of Idaho, whose benefit plan is surely already described by one of my classmates.

As an interview partner I chose our family accountant who answered me general as well as very specific questions to this subject.
