Enrollment

How can I participate in the CDH accounts?

During the Open Enrollment, which is typically 8-10 weeks before the new plan year begins, you will need to elect for the CDH account in your ben-admin system. You may indicate which accounts you would like to sign up for, the amount you would like to elect. Once the plan year starts, you can start your benefits plans with Forma!

Who are eligible to enroll in the CDH accounts?

	Eligible Person
FSA	If the employer offers it, an employee is eligible unless he/she has an HDHP and an HSA.
LPFSA	If the employer offers it, an employee is eligible if he/she is enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and participates in a Health Savings Account (HSA).
HSA	Anyone who is enrolled in a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP).
DCFSA	If the employer offers it, an employee with qualified dependents is eligible.
HRA	Basically, if you’re covered by a medical insurance plan and your employer offers an HRA, then you’re eligible. If you have an HDHP, generally, you will be required to meet the deductibles first before you are entitled to the HRA benefits.
Commuter	If the employer offers it, an active employee is eligible. Dependents are not eligible.
