Special Rule for Health Care Spending Account Participants
Former employees may be eligible to continue participation in the Health Care Spending Account under COBRA, if you have not used your entire account balance prior to the date your participation would end. To continue participating under COBRA, you must make after-tax contributions equal to 102% of the total monthly contribution you were making to the Health Care Spending Account before your participation ended. Coverage may not be continued into the next plan year.
Please Note: You may want to elect to continue your participation in the Health Care Spending Account under COBRA if you have not used your entire account balance before your termination date and you anticipate that you will incur expenses after that date. Otherwise, only those expenses incurred through the end of the month in which your employee coverage ends will be eligible for reimbursement.
