In January 2026, qualifying SEBB Program employee subscribers whose annual rate of pay was $40,000 or less as of June 30, 2025 may have received a $200 flexible spending arrangement (FSA) contribution. The School Employees Benefit Board (SEBB) Program recently found additional SEBB subscribers who qualify for the contribution.  

How employees will be notified

The week of August 10, Navia Benefit Solutions (the FSA administrator) will mail a welcome letter to the additional subscribers who qualified for the contribution. Following that letter, recipients may also get a debit card in an unmarked envelope. They can use this debit card to spend their FSA funds on eligible expenses.  

Find out who qualified 

A file named with your agency’s code has been uploaded to Benefits 24/7 with an August 12 date under your organization’s Data Depot. This list of recipients is in addition to the list you received earlier this year. It does not replace it. If you don’t find the file in your Data Depot, then no one from your organization was identified as one of the additional subscribers who qualified for the $200.  

Employees may opt out of this benefit  

If an employee was awarded the CBA FSA and their spouse is enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) with a health savings account (HSA), the employee can request to cancel this benefit. Either you or the employee can do this by contacting Navia. If they get a debit card from Navia, please advise them to cut it up and throw it away. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules do not allow a person to have both an FSA and an HSA at the same time because both are tax-preferred benefits. 

Reminder of the requirements to qualify 

To be eligible to receive this contribution, employees must have met the following criteria: 

• They are employed in a SEBB benefits-eligible position on January 1, 2026.

• They or their spouse are not enrolled in an HDHP with an HSA.
• They meet the other eligibility criteria as described in the Health Care Coalition Agreement, including (a) they are enrolled in a medical plan offered by the SEBB Program that is not an HDHP with an HSA; (b) they have not waived SEBB Program enrollment.  

To learn more about this benefit we encourage you to check out the SEBB CBA FSA Toolkit, which you can use to help your employees if they come to you with questions.
