Important HCRA and DCRA Information
The Benefits Office has the following important announcements to make regarding the Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA) and the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA).
- Participants who wish to manage their HCRA/DCRA accounts online must first register their account using the PayFlex website. Participants should note their member ID’s will be their employee Z number on their initial log-in. This ID may be changed once their account is registered.
- Participants who wish to have their reimbursement for their HCRA/DCRA account directly deposited into their bank accounts must either enroll in direct deposit online or by paper form.
- Participants with UHC funds leftover from 2009 have until March 15, 2010 to incur new costs and until June 15, 2010 to submit for reimbursement with UHC.
- UHC debit cards are no longer active. Participants who choose to use their 2009 UHC funds must submit a reimbursement form with UHC.
- Only the primary subscriber will receive a PayFlex debit card. Employees who require more than one PayFlex debit card may request additional cards using the PayFlex member site or contacting PayFlex at 1-800-284-4885.
Note: Participants who enrolled in a 2010 HCRA/DCRA account and have 2009 funds leftover from UHC should use their UHC funds prior to their 2010 PayFlex funds.
