After leaving your employer, you may be eligible to submit expenses during a runout or grace period, depending on your benefits plan configuration.
What to know
Benefits that have been configured with a runout or grace period will grant you additional time to submit eligible expenses. Your account access will be automatically updated to your backup email to allow you to access your benefits and submit any final expenses.
If you did not configure a backup email, or are unable to login, please contact Benepass Support.
Steps
First, you'll need to confirm that you are eligible to submit pre-tax expenses.
- Login to your Benepass account using your chosen backup email
- Navigate to your Accounts page
- Confirm which benefits are in a "Runout period" or "Grace period"
- Click in to view important dates, including the final date to submit expenses
Once you confirm the last day to submit expenses, you're able to submit expenses as normal up until that date.
- From the app, click "Get reimbursed"
- Complete the required fields and attach necessary receipts
- Submit
Keep in mind that all expenses must be incurred during the coverage period. For benefits in a runout period, this will be from the first day of the plan year, to the last day of your employment. For benefits in a grace period, this will be from the first day of the plan year to the last day of the grace period.
After the applicable runout or grace period, any remaining funds will be forfeit.
