A couple of changes occurring with the University of Maine System Flexible Spending Account (FSA) in 2008:

First, EBPA has migrated to a new, more user friendly web platform. This change will provide greater flexibility, more information and result in higher quality benefit statements.

Employees will continue to have 24/7 online access to review your account balance, contributions, transaction history, and claim status for both Health Care and Dependent Day Care accounts. This is a new online system and will require you to set up a new log-in the first time you sign in. Click here for detailed instructions on how to set up your new online account.

UMS is also pleased to announce that all University of Maine System FSA participants will receive an EBPA Benefits Card to use when purchasing qualified Health Care and Dependent Day Care expenses.

While we hope employees will take advantage of the convenience the Benefits Card offers for Health Care and Dependent Day Care expenses, they are not required to do so; use of the new EBPA Benefits Card is optional.  Employees will continue to have the option of submitting paper claims which may be either faxed or mailed to EBPA.  The fax number is 603-773-4415 and the mailing address is P. O. Box 1140, Exeter NH 03833-1140. 

When you receive your card, please feel free to destroy it if you do not want to use it.
