When you pay out-of-pocket for eligible pre-tax expenses, you can file a claim from your Forma account online or on the app.
To file a reimbursement claim:
Log in to Forma (on the web or mobile app), then go to Claims and click “New claim.”
First, select the correct pre-tax benefit. Required information may change based on this selection, so do this first to avoid having to re-enter claim information.
Next, if you have not linked a bank account to receive reimbursements via direct deposit, you will be prompted to do so before you can file a pre-tax claim. Linking a bank account is required to ensure you receive reimbursements for approved claims.
If you've previously linked a bank account, you will not be asked to link the account again.
