Santa Barbara County Employees' Retirement System

Health Reimbursement Account

For retirees and beneficiaries not enrolled in County-sponsored health insurance, effective January 1, 2009, the $4-per-month-per-year-of-service supplemental benefit was converted from a taxable cash payment to a tax-free health expense reimbursement.  Your benefit will continue to accrue at the current rate, accumulate in your account, but will only be paid to reimburse qualified health care expenses.  In order to receive a reimbursement, you will be required to submit a claim form with proof of payment of qualified expenses (e.g., Medicare statements and receipts).

For information about the new reimbursement claims process, click on HRA Informational Packet below.  Claim forms with a list of eligible expenses are also available below.
