New for 2026:
A new Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) plan
Members now have access to $1,000 in HRA funds through their Trust HRA account, provided via a WEX debit card that was mailed in May 2025. This is an increase from the $600 HRA fund amount in 2025. These funds can be used toward qualified health expenses—including hearing aids. To learn more, visit their website here.
Eligibility: Each Trust healthcare contract holder is eligible for the HRA. Dependents, including spouses, do not receive a separate HRA benefit. Dual coverage households must have separate contracts to each receive an HRA. Eligible members will be automatically enrolled as an HRA participant; no action is required.
We appreciate your dedication to helping members make the most of these valuable benefits.
