COVID-19 RESOURCES FOR EMPLOYEES

There is a lot of information about what to do and what not to do to fight coronavirus. Start by making sure you’re following the CDC’s advice about best practices.

See our blog about recent election changes to the following accounts from Benefit Resource:

  • Health Savings Account
  • FSA Dependent Care Account
  • Commuter Benefit Plan (mass transit and/or parking)

To learn about the election changes allowed for Medical FSAs, see our blog about the relief passed in the year-end spending bill.

The CARES Act passed on March 27, 2020 allows OTC Drugs and Medicines to be purchased from health accounts without a prescription.

WHAT TO KNOW

  • OTC Drugs and Medicines purchased on 1/1/2020 or later are eligible for reimbursement from FSAs and HSAs. Reimbursement permitted for HRAs that currently allow OTC as eligible expenses. View Sample List of Eligible OTC Items
  • Use your Beniversal® Prepaid Mastercard® for purchases directly. If a merchant has not yet updated their systems to classify these items as an eligible expense, you will need to submit a claim to be reimbursed for these expenses. Claims can be submitted online or through the BRiMobile app. See out Submitting Claims Walk Through for instructions on doing so.
