What does an employee need to do to request a QRD?
The employee must complete a QRD Request Form found under printable forms, FSA, at discoverybenefits.com. The employee attaches a copy of the order or call to active duty to the form and submits the documentation to the employer for approval. The employer retains a copy for its record and faxes (866-451-3245) or mails (PO Box 2926, Fargo, ND 58108-2926) a copy of the form and documentation to Discovery. The employer is asked to review the request due to the special transition rule allowing for QRDs prior to the plan being amended. The employer will also need to document the amount of the request so it can report the amount as taxable income on the employee’s W-2.
