The PEBB Program is sending a letter on Thursday, October 1, to union-represented employees whose annual rate of pay is $68,004 or less. An employee’s union must also be represented under the health care coalition as described in RCW 41.80.020(3).
The letter informs them that they are likely eligible to receive a $300 Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) contribution in 2027 from their employer through their collective bargaining agreement (CBA). In addition, this letter informs the employee:
-
They can receive this benefit only if they and their spouse do not enroll in a consumer-directed health plan (CDHP) for 2027, and they do not lose eligibility for or waive their PEBB medical plan (unless they waive to enroll as a dependent on someone else’s PEBB plan that is not a CDHP with a health savings account).
-
If they meet all eligibility requirements, Navia Benefit Solutions (the FSA administrator) will mail them a welcome letter and a debit card by early February 2027. For employees who actively enroll in an FSA and/or have carry over funds (up to $680) from 2026 the $300 will be added to their existing account and Navia Benefits Debit MasterCard.
To learn more about the $300 CBA FSA contribution benefit, please read this FAQ and use it to help your employees if they come to you with questions. Navia is hosting a webinar for Benefit Administrators (BAs) on October 17 from 1 to 2 p.m. Registration for the webinar is available on the Training schedule page of the PEBB BA website.
If you have questions about this benefit, please contact us through HCA Support. If you have not used HCA Support before, an HCA Support user guide is available to help you log in for the first time.
