Have you moved? Changed employers? Separated from service? Retired?

If you’ve moved, we don’t want to lose track of you. Make sure we have your current contact information.  Log in and click My Profile to check and update your mailing address and other important information.

If you’ve changed employers, separated from service, or retired, give us a quick call at 1-888-659-8828 to make sure we have your separation date on file. This is particularly important if your health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) is claims eligible. We need your separation date to help protect your account from Medicare coordination. If your HRA provides only post-separation claims eligibility, reporting your separation date may help us update your claims eligibility so you can start using your HRA.

 

Do you have a post-separation (retiree-only) HRA? Have you been rehired?

If you have: (1) separated from service or retired; (2) become re-employed by the employer who set up your HRA; and (3) have a post-separation (retiree-only) HRA, remember that your HRA coverage will once again be limited to dental, vision, and qualified long-term care expenses and premiums during your period of re-employment. You may still file claims for all qualified medical expenses incurred prior to re-employment while your HRA was fully claims eligible. Your HRA may once again provide full coverage after your re-employment ends.

 

A new socially-responsible investment fund option is now available.

The Fidelity US Sustainability Index fund has been added to the investment fund lineup beginning July 1, 2023. This socially-responsible fund has been added based on feedback from participants and employers wanting this type of option.

To learn more about the investment fund lineup, go to www.HRAveba.org/home/investment-options/. You’ll find helpful information, including direct links to our Choosing Your Investment Allocation brochure, Investment Fund Overview with historical performance, fund fact sheets, and prospectuses.

To review or update your investment allocation, log in and click Investments. You should consult with a professional financial advisor and carefully read the fund prospectuses and fact sheets before making investment decisions.

A Summary of Benefits and Coverage is available.

We’re required to make a Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) available annually. The purpose of the SBC is to help consumers compare group health plan (insurance) benefits. While your HRA is a group health plan, it is not insurance. You’ll notice that some of the information and defined terms in the SBC are not applicable to your HRA coverage.
