Benefit Allocation Systems provides easy and accurate flexible spending account plan administration. While employees may be limited with their banking options due to COVID-19, employees should know about BAS' direct deposit option for FSA and HRA reimbursements.
Claims are processed daily and reimbursed on a weekly basis. Employees can get their reimbursements directly deposited into their bank account which ensures safe and expedited access to funds or receive their reimbursements by paper check.
Getting FSA/HRA reimbursements by Direct Deposit is faster and more secure than receiving reimbursements by mailed check. With Direct Deposit, reimbursements will be initiated to an employee’s bank account on Tuesdays, and BAS will send an email confirming the transaction. Funds are generally received in the bank account within 24-48 hours.
Signing up for FSA/HRA Direct Deposit does not change an employee’s banking preferences for any other employer payments.
Direct Deposit ensures reimbursements will be available for use sooner than waiting for reimbursement by check. By eliminating checks, employees don't have to worry about postal delays, lost mail, or getting to the bank to deposit a check.
It’s simple to sign up for direct deposit:
