Overview for Active Participants

Eligibility

Active employees must have contributed $1,425 per month to be eligible for coverage. Eligibility will be month to month. A Dollar Bank for your coverage will grow to a maximum of six months of coverage ($8,550). Once that is full, everything over $1,425 per month goes into your HRA to be used for deductibles, coinsurance, dental, vision, other medical payments, and self-payments.

To view your eligibility and HRA balance, visit your individual participant portal using the Log In button at the top of the page.
