When Your HRA Dollars are Available

The Fund adds HRA dollars to your account during each year’s “funding period.” The HRA funding period runs from June 1 through May 31, on a rolling year basis. Funds become available depending on when you complete Healthy Activities.

Here’s how it works:

For Healthy Activities completed and processed between June 1 through December 31: You receive HRA dollars for these activities on January 1. For example, if you complete a Healthy Activity in October 2017, you receive HRA dollars on January 1, 2018.
Your Base HRA Contribution: You receive your automatic Base HRA Contribution on January 1.
For Healthy Activities completed and processed between January 1 through May 31: You receive HRA dollars for these activities as they are processed by the Fund – usually within two weeks of reporting. For example, if you complete a Healthy Activity on February 1, 2018, you should receive your HRA dollars by February 19, 2018.

Your additional HRA dollars become available to pay eligible medical and prescription drug expenses after the Fund credits a Healthy Activity to your HRA. Only the balance on hand is available to pay your share of claims as they come in. HRA funds cannot be used to pay for previously processed claims.

If you have a balance remaining in your HRA as of December 31, it rolls over for use in the following year, as long as you remain enrolled in the Indemnity PPO Medical Plan.
