Re: Administration of Flexible Spending Accounts and COBRA Administration.
For your information, the University of California is assessing proposals from potential vendors for the administration of its employee Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) Program for health (HCRA) and dependent care (DepCare) as well as COBRA continuation for all UC health plans. The University is reassessing its COBRA process with an eye towards facilitating efficiency and compliance by consolidating the carrier administration under a single vendor. The effective date for implementation of administrative services is expected to be January 1, 2009 for SFA plans and May 1, 2009 for COBRA. If you have any questions, please contact your University representative for your bargaining unit.
