I am eligible for the HRA and I am enrolled in the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for 2009; how do they work together?
The HRA can work in conjunction with the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account, although you can’t be reimbursed twice for the same expense. If enrolled in the Healthcare FSA and HRA, both accounts will be available via the same card. The FSA funds are exhausted first, then the HRA funds will be used to reimburse you for qualified expenses. Note: Remember that FSA funds don’t roll over and HRA funds do, which is why you will deplete your FSA balance first.
