From reimbursement claims to payroll deductions, here are important dates for employees
As 2014 comes to an end, here are some helpful reminders about Duke benefits: • Staff and faculty enrolled in 2014 health or dependent care reimbursement accounts must submit reimbursement claims for expenses incurred Jan. 1, 2014, through Dec. 31, 2014, by April 15, 2015. • Employees enrolled in the 2014 health care reimbursement account can carry over up to $500 of unused funds into their 2015 plan. After April 15, 2015, any unused money over $500 from a 2014 health care reimbursement account will be forfeited.• Payroll deductions for medical, dental and vision benefits in 2015 begin in December 2014.• Payroll deductions for 2015 health and dependent care reimbursement accounts begin in January 2015.• A year-end reminder about maximum contributions to Duke’s 403(b) retirement plan was mailed to employees’ homes in early December.• Review personal information through Duke@Work to ensure accuracy. This will ensure that all tax-related documents are sent to the correct location.
