Deadline approaching for use of 2015 flex funds

UNMC employees that have a balance remaining in their flexible spending account (FSA) for 2015 should remember that eligible dates of service for expenses are Jan. 1, 2015 through Dec. 31, 2015.

Claims from 2015 must be submitted to WageWorks no later than March 31 in order to receive reimbursement. Contributions not reimbursed will be forfeited.

As a reminder, employees enrolled in the University of Nebraska, Blue Cross Blue Shield medical and/or dental plans, may go on to nebraskablue.com, under MyBlue and print out/save their Explanation of Benefits summary for the entire year. This can then be submitted for documentation.

Also, a summary of all prescriptions for the entire year may be obtained through your pharmacy. However due to HIPAA, the employee will need to make this request in person.

To get reimbursed, dates of service must have been incurred during the calendar year for 2015. Please do not use your card to submit 2015 claims. The card can only be used in the current calendar year.

To check your balance and/or submit a claim, please take the following actions:

  • Log on to Firefly. If you need help with your user name or password call 402-559-BUZZ (2899).
  • Click on the Employee Self Service Tab
  • Under the Benefits heading, click the Flexible Spending Account link
  • Click on the “Launch WageWorks” button. This will launch your WageWorks account into another window. If you do not see this loading, check your internet settings. The pop-up block must be turned off for the account to launch.

For questions concerning your flexible spending account(s), please contact WageWorks at 1-877-924-3967 or the benefits office at 402-559-4340.
