Employee Reimbursement Account (ERA) Grace Period for Medical and Dependent Care Expense Claims
February 17, 2014
ERA participants may be reimbursed from remaining 2013 contributions for eligible Medical and/or Dependent Care expenses incurred through March 15, 2014. Services received and reimbursable items purchased in 2013 and during the grace period between January 1 and March 15, 2014, may be reimbursed from remaining 2013 ERA plan year funds. Claims are paid on a "first-in, first-out" basis. This means that if you have 2013 expenses that you intend to have paid from your 2013 contributions, they must be submitted and processed before you submit any 2014 claims.
The deadline for submitting 2013 medical and dependent care claims to WageWorks is April 15, 2014. All claims must be received by WageWorks or postmarked by April 15, 2014 to be reimbursed from 2013 funds. If you do not submit your claims by the deadline, any money remaining in your account for 2013 will be forfeited.
You can submit claims by any of the following methods:
