Accounts
Health Care
Reimbursement Account (HCRA)
A HCRA can help
you pay for eligible expenses that are not covered or are only partially
covered by your health care plans (e.g., your eFunds medical and
dental plans). Note: IRS regulations prevent you from using your
Health Care Reimbursement Account to pay expenses for domestic partners
and their children, or for other ineligible dependents.
You can contribute
up to $5,000 per year ($208.33 per paycheck if you have 24 pay periods
each year - $192.31 per paycheck if you have 26 pay periods each
year) to your HCRA. Your pre-tax contribution will be deducted automatically
from each paycheck. You cannot stop your contributions or change
the amount you contribute unless you experience a change in family
status.
Dependent
Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA)
A Dependent Care
Reimbursement Account (DCRA) can help you pay for childcare or eldercare
services or care for a disabled spouse or dependent so that you
can be gainfully employed or attend school full-time. You may request
reimbursement for expenses for the following eligible dependents
through your DCRA:
- Your children
under the age of 13, who depend on you (and your spouse, if you
are married) for at least half of their support
- Your spouse,
if he or she is mentally or physically incapable of caring for
himself or herself
- Other members
of your family, such as your parents, a brother or sister, or
children over 13, who are physically or mentally incapable of
caring for themselves, and live in your home and depend on you
(and your spouse, if you are married) for at least half of their
support
Note: IRS regulations
prevent you from using your Dependent Care Reimbursement Account
to pay expenses for domestic partners and their children, or for
other ineligible dependents.
