Why no credit for making progress toward Wellness targets?

Q Why is there no reward for gradual improvement? If one needs to
lose 50 pounds total, and loses 25 the first year, shouldn't the person
be rewarded with lower payments? Shouldn't progress be rewarded?

A From the beginning of the program, the Board, Wellness Committee, and senior management have all shared your view. That's why you can get credit again in 2008 even if you don't yet meet the targets - as long as you bring in documentation from your doctor stating that you are actively working on achieving the targets (by December 14).

Thanks for the question.
