New Feature: Taxable Benefits Reimbursement Freeze

What is the WSA Reimbursement Freeze?

For employers who record taxable claims on payroll, the WSA Freeze pauses wellness claim reimbursements, allowing the plan administrator to pull final reporting on taxable benefits before year-end.

Why is it helpful?

The freeze ensures T4s match payroll, requiring no further year-end adjustments after the final payroll.

What about claims for employees?

Employees can still submit wellness claims during the freeze, and eligible approved claims will deduct against the WSA balance. However, reimbursement will not occur until the new year, counting as a taxable benefit in 2023.

To implement this optional freeze, please contact our Support team myHSA is pleased to announce our partnership with Dialogue Virtual Healthcare! myHSA is very excited to provide
