How do I access my HRA funds?
If you have HRA funds remaining as of December 31 and remain with the same insurance provider, your funds will continue process as the prior year.
If you have HRA funds remaining as of December 31 and switch insurance providers, these funds can be used for prior year claims up until March 31 with your previous provider to capture any run-out claims. Then the funds will be transferred to your new insurance provider by April 30th.
