PEBB Benefits

This January, qualifying union-represented PEBB Program employee subscribers whose annual rate of pay was $60,000 or less as of November 1, 2023 received a $250 Medical Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) contribution from their employer. 
Navia Benefit Solutions (the Medical FSA administrator) recently mailed a welcome letter and a $250 debit card to those who met the requirements (members with existing accounts will get new cards in the mail once every 3 years). For employees who were actively enrolled in a Medical FSA and/or had carry over funds from 2023, the $250 was added to their existing account and debit card.

Employees who likely qualified were sent a letter in September 2023 informing them:

• They were likely eligible for a $250 Medical FSA contribution from their employer as part of their collective bargaining agreement.
• Their union is part of the health care Coalition described in RCW 41.80.020(3).
• Their rate of pay on November 1, 2023 is $60,000 or less for a full-time equivalent position.
• If they work part-time, they still may qualify for this contribution if their position as full-time would provide a salary of $60,000 or less. For example, if an employee earns $35,000 and works 20 hours per week, their full-time salary would be $70,000 and they would not qualify.
