Clearing up the 10% rule

We want to talk about the 10% rule and why it is confusing and made things worse - not better.

A few years ago, CRA made an update to HSAs and what can be claimed. The update said:

Grace Period — If your client has a 90 day grace period and their plan renewed on January 1, the window to submit last year's claims will expire at the end of March. The grace period is the time after renewal for employees to submit any outstanding claims from the previous benefit year.

myHSA allows for a grace period of either 0, 30, 60, 90 or 120 days and is customizable in the plan design.

Subscription Notice — Please note that as of January 1, 2023, the Subscription fee model is no longer available for 1 and 2 employee groups. The Subscription fee is too low for the administration and adjudication for these plan limits. There are no exceptions permitted for this change.

Should I be the Plan Admin on my client's plans?

No, as the Advisor you can see and do everything (and more) that the Plan Admin can. The Plan Admin should be the individual at the company with extended access.

What is a Referral Partner?

A referral partner is a person or company whom you need to compensate for a client. The Referral Partner may be in-house or a third-party. Reporting will demonstrate which clients are connected to the Referral Partner, and what their earnings are. If you have both an RP role (with another firm or TPA), as well as an Advisor profile, we would gladly sync your profiles to ensure you can easily navigate between your business functions.
