💵 New plan option: Expense Carryover
Expense Carryover allows employees to use their current-year balance to pay for eligible expenses from the previous plan year. This adds more flexibility for employees and employers when managing benefit claims, especially for larger, less frequent expenses.
Let's say an employee incurs a claim at the end of December, but they were too busy to submit it until they got back to work in January (assuming their plan runs from January to December). With Expense Carryover, the employee’s unused balance from 2025 will not roll forward. Instead, they can use their new 2026 balance to pay for that December 2025 expense and any other expenses from the previous year, for the entirety of the current year.
This feature will be available as an alternative to Balance Carryover when setting up a plan. To learn more about how Expense Carryover works and how to set it up, check out our article below.
