How do HSAs work with Justworks?
If your employer is offering a high deductible healthcare plan (HDHP), they can choose to offer HSAs as well. If you are eligible to enroll in an HSA Justworks will send you an email during open enrollment and you will see an option to enroll in your Justworks account under the Benefits tab on the left hand side. You must be actively enrolled in a high deductible healthcare plan to be able to enroll.
As a part of your enrollment process you can determine the amount you would like to start contributing to your account each month.
You will also be able to view the amount you are set to defer for the entire year and IRS maximums. You can change your contribution amount at any time but keep in mind any changes will take place in the following month. The amount you select to contribute to your HSA will be divided into equal monthly payments for the remainder of the year. The contributions will then be automatically debited from the second payroll of the month and remitted to BenefitWallet.
When can I sign-up for an HSA?
If you are enrolled in a High Deductible Healthcare Plan (HDHP) you can enroll in an HSA at any time during the year, as long as your company is offering this benefit.
Can I sign up later if I don't want to during open enrollment?
Yes, as long as you are enrolled in an HDHP plan you can sign up for an HSA at any time while the benefit is being offered by your company.
What are the fees on my BenefitWallet HSA?
Your account will earn annual interest at .05%.
If you have a balance below $1,000, you’ll be charged a $3.50 monthly service charge.
When your balance reaches $1,000, you can invest in 26 different low-fee fund options. If you use your HSA to invest in funds, you’ll be charged $2.90 a month.
All fees will be charged and deducted directly from your account balance.
I've signed up for an HSA, how do I use my funds?
If you signed up for a HSA, you can set up your account 2-3 days after the effective date of the HSA by registering with BenefitWallet. You’ll receive a BenefitWallet issued debit card within 7-10 business days. You can use this card on qualified expenses or you can pay out of pocket and submit a claim.
When will I receive my payment card?
You will receive your payment card within 7-10 days of setting up your account through BenefitWallet.

How do I reimburse an out of pocket expense?
If you paid out of pocket, you can log into BenefitWallet to reimburse yourself in the online portal, you can withdraw funds from an ATM using the HSA debit card, or write yourself a check. Documentation is generally not required to substantiate a claim, but we recommend keeping them for your records or in case it’s ever requested by the IRS. There is also no time limit to submit claims for reimbursement, if you choose to accumulate funds over time for a larger withdrawal.
