Waiving coverage?

Utilize one of two available Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs).

 

Waiver ​​​Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

​Eligibility

​You are eligible for the Waiver HRA if you are an employee of a state agency, school board or certain quasi-governmental agencies and you are eligible for health insurance coverage. You are not eligible if your spouse has a Health Savings Account (HSA), if you are a member of an agency that doesn't participate in KEHP's HRA/FSA program, and if you are a retiree, under age 65 who has returned to work and elected coverage through retirement.

Effective Date

Coverage for new employees will become effective on the first day of the second calendar month following your date of hire. Example: If you begin anytime in August, you are eligible for coverage October 1. New employees may make their elections online in KHRIS or they may complete an enrollment application within the first 35 calendar days of employment.  If you fail to make your health insurance election or waive coverage within the designated time frame, you will not have coverage and will not be allowed to enroll until the next open enrollment period, unless an appropriate qualifying event occurs.

​​Eligible Expenses​

Funds can be used for doctor visits, prescriptions, contacts, glasses, orthodontics and dental procedures.
