Health Care Reimbursement Account Spending Cards: 2008 Information 

Cards are good for three years

If you are enrolled in the UC Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA)
program and use a SHPS spending account card, you should know that cards
issued to you and any family members can be used for three consecutive
calendar years after issuance -- provided that you are enrolled in HCRA each
year. You must re-enroll in HCRA each year during Open Enrollment to have an
account in the coming year.

Here is what this means to you --

If you enrolled in HCRA in 2007 and received a card which you activated:
Assuming you re-enrolled in HCRA for 2008, you may continue to use your card
now and during the rest of 2008 as long as you have funds in your account.
Your new 2008 annual HCRA spending amount has been loaded onto the card you
received last year, and you do not need to reactivate it to use it. You will
not receive a new card this year.

If you enrolled in HCRA for the first time for calendar year 2008: YOU
SHOULD RECEIVE YOUR SPENDING ACCOUNT CARD BY JANUARY 20, 2008. Your card is
ready for use as soon as you activate it, as the instructions received with
your card explain. If you re-enroll in HCRA for 2009, you will continue to
use the same card in 2009.

For questions please call the Benefits Office at X24766.
