Health Reimbursement Account

The following HRA benefit is available to Local 81 Contractual Employees. 

Non-contractual employees check with your employer to see if the HRA Plan will be offered to you.  

Your HRA is a reimbursement account offered by your employer as part of your benefits package. Your employer sets up and funds the account to reimburse you for your eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses. You can use your HRA funds throughout the coverage period to pay for eligible HRA expenses. 

Each plan year your employer contributes a specified amount to your HRA — you cannot make an additional contribution. You are not taxed on the value of your HRA or the reimbursements you receive from the account. Note: Expenses reimbursed under your HRA may not be used to claim any federal income tax deduction or credit.

Reimbursement Requests

Important: All claims must be submitted for processing within 12 months of the date of service.
