If you were enrolled in UC's Flexible Spending Accounts (Health Care Reimbursement Account — HCRA and/or Dependent Care Reimbursement Account — DepCare) in 2008, you have until June 15 to submit your reimbursement claim forms, along with all required documentation for eligible expenses incurred during the period of January 1, 2008 through March 15, 2009. This includes any receipts or EOBs that might be required to validate spending account purchases. All claims must be sent to SHPS for processing and postmarked by June 15, 2009.

Please remember to review your previous 2008 claims to confirm that they were approved and processed by SHPS. You may have submitted claims which require additional information to process your claim. To ensure you know the true status of your claims, log into your account at SHPS and go to "Your Statements" in the upper right-hand section. Open your statements and read them completely as it is possible that action may be required on your part. Don't rely on the Spending Account Overview on your SHPS account web page for the important details regarding your SHPS Spending Account.

Internal Revenue Service rules require you to forfeit any balance remaining after the claim filing deadline of June 15, 2009.

If you have any questions about your claims, be sure to contact SHPS directly at 1-877-270-3915.
