Medical/Dependent Care FSA Benny Card
1. ENROLL IN ELIGIBLE BENEFIT PLAN
Your employer offers the Benny Visa debit card to employees that enroll in an eligible benefit plan. The card will allow you to pay for eligible expenses at participating providers at the time services are rendered, thus eliminating or reducing your out-of-pocket cost at the time of the purchase or service.
2. RECEIVE YOUR SET OF BENNY CARDS
Your Benny Visa cards will be mailed as a set of two cards to your home address in a nondescript envelope upon your enrollment in an eligible benefit plan. No activation is required, but you should review the Cardholder Agreement included in this mailing, and then sign the back of your card.
3. PROPER USE & ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
You will be able to view and manage your Benny Card account on the Flores participant website, www.flores247.com. You should keep your receipts and invoices for payments made with your Benny Card, as you may be required to provide documentation to Flores to verify the eligibility of certain transactions. If requested, you may submit your documentation to Flores by uploading it to your online account, uploading using the e-Receipt mobile application, or sending it by fax or mail.
Record‐keeping Tip:
Most payments will be automatically substantiated at the point of the transaction. Flores will only ask you to provide a copy of your receipts when substantiation is required per IRS guidelines.
Establish a physical location where you will keep all receipts for your Benny Card purchases. Regardless of your position with your company, every employee will be treated the same in regard to IRS plan administration guidelines. No exceptions will be made.
If you are asked to provide a receipt, it must include:
– name of provider or merchant
– description of service or item purchased
– date of service
– your out-of-pocket responsibility
Items such as handwritten explanations, Card transaction receipts or previous balance receipts cannot be used to verify an expense. If you do not have the receipt, you can contact the provider who can usually supply the receipt from their files.
