An employee's HRA eligibility ends based on the termination date entered in the Admin Portal and your organization's benefit plan rules.
When does HRA eligibility end?
HRA eligibility generally ends on the employee's termination date or the date determined by your organization's benefit plan.
The termination date controls when reimbursement eligibility ends.
Can employees still submit reimbursement requests after termination?
Yes.
If your plan includes a runout period, terminated employees may continue submitting reimbursement requests for eligible expenses incurred while they were still covered.
Runout periods allow employees time to submit claims after their eligibility ends but don't extend coverage or create eligibility for new expenses.
Does portal access continue after termination?
Employees may retain limited portal access during the runout period so they can:
View their account.
Submit eligible reimbursement requests.
Monitor claim status.
Portal access ends automatically after the runout period.
What administrative action is required?
After recording the employee's termination:
Verify the termination date is correct.
Process any remaining eligible reimbursements.
No additional action is required to change the employee's status after the runout period.
The system manages the remaining eligibility workflow automatically.
