Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 105(h) allows employers to contribute tax-free funds to Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) so employees can pay for certain medical expenses that are not covered by any other source. HRAs can be designed by an employer to fit a variety of needs and program designs. To understand how your HRA is set up, you will need to review your plan documents or other plan information provided by your employer.
Here are some HRA Basics:Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) vary based on the options and features selected by your employer. Please review your plan documents for details regarding eligibility, eligible expenses, funding amounts/frequency, claims submission deadlines, and more.
