Y our 2021 HRA funds became available effective January 1, 2021. A health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) is an IRS approved, employer funded, tax-ad- vantaged health benefit used to reimburse employees and their dependents for qualified medical expenses. Your 2021 HRA amount is tied to the medical plan you selected during open enrollment or as a new hire. As a reminder, the HRA structure for enrollees in the Hu- mana HDHP plan have changed for 2021. See the table below for contribution amounts.

Human Resources is in the process of migrating all forms to NeoGov eForms. eForms will put an end to our manual paper workflows and will automate the process for submitting and approving documents. Forms to be included in this new paperless process will be the Business Card Order, Photo Release Preference, Request to Attend Conference, Emergency Contact Form, Fitness Waiver, Public Access Preference, Vehicle Information, Sick Leave Pool Donation Request, EAC Pledge Form, Qualifying Life Event, ICMA-RC Change Form and so much more! Stay tuned for more information and training guides to be released to staff in the coming weeks. EFORMS COMING SOON!

As I look back now at the year that was, I am awestruck by your resilience and humbled by the privilege I have been granted to call you partners in such a rewarding pursuit of excellence.
