Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH REIMBURSMENT ACCOUNT PLAN (HRA) effective July 1, 2021

ELIGIBILITY

Initial and Continuing Eligibility
An Employee is eligible for participation in the HRA on the first day of the month when an HRA is established for him. An HRA is established for an Employee when his Dollar Bank Account has more than a twelve (12) month reserve for health care premiums. Any Employer Contributions in excess of a twelve (12) month reserve in an Employee’s Dollar Bank Account will be permanently transferred to an HRA Account for the Employee. You will continue to participate in the HRA as long as funds remain in your HRA Account. There is NO LIMIT on the amount of Employer Contributions that can be held in the Participant’s HRA Account.

Example: The current health premium is $1,287 per month. Your Dollar Bank balance must be more than $15,444 for the establishment of an HRA account. On 01/31/2024, Member A has a Dollar Bank balance of $16,444. He will have $1,000 transferred to an HRA account on 02/01/2024. On 01/31/2024, Member B has a Dollar Bank balance of $5,744. He will not have an HRA account until his Dollar Bank balance is more than $15,444.
