6 HSA Funding Process No prefund or up front funding is required.
When the funding file is sent to WageWorks the grand total of the contributions and deductions applied to the open HSA accounts will be debited from your bank account or the ACH Credit/Wire transfer is due to WageWorks on the next business day. Funding Notification Sent via from - check your spam filters More than one contact can receive the notification The amount is then applied to the employee accounts on the third business day.

7 HSA Funding Model – BNY Mellon
Submit Funding (FND) record If submitted by 2:00 CST will process same day ‘Funding Date’ determines processing date (if later than date of file load) Files posted after the ‘Funding Date’ process when received Day 0 Funding Report generated Captures only funds that were able to post to open HSAs notification to client Day 1 Funding due to WageWorks (WW will pull funds via ACH Debit) Funds visible on WageWorks’ website Funds are available in the account holder’s HSA (on Card in evening) Day 2

8 HSA Funding Process Note the payroll or funding date within the file drives the process and the records will start processing as of that day. If the file has a future payroll date for an employee the funding process will not start until that day. It is important to ensure that HSA deductions have a funding date within the current tax year for the targeted HSA plan. Do not send a funding date prior to the start of the HSA plan year (i.e. 12/29 for a January 1st contribution) as this will cause the contribution to appear in the previous year’s tax records. The account activity report will show the grand total of contributions made by the employer only. Any payments, rollovers or post tax contribution information made by the employee is private and will not appear on the reports. Where possible, the Employer/Program Sponsor should not deliver any Funding (FND) records until the employee has addressed any vetting issues with the custodian and their HSA account is opened. Sample HSA funding timeline available in Appendix

9 HSA Funding File Corrections
If Client sends a negative HSA Funding record amount, the record will reject. All reversals must be requested with the WageWorks Relationship Manager and processed by the WageWorks HSA Operations team The entire funding record amount must be reversed Partial amounts can not be reversed The reversed amount will appear as a credit on the next funding report, reducing the amount you are charged for that HSA contribution cycle Example: A $250 funding record is sent. The amount should have been $175 as that was what was actually taken from payroll An adjustment will reverse the $250 record A new record for $175 will need to be sent

10 Pending & Expired Contributions

11 Pending Contributions
This option is to address an HSA Funding record received for a participant when, at the time of receipt, the participant’s account has not been opened by the custodian (application not yet completed). You have the option as the Program Sponsor to have your plan set up to not reject a HSA funding record if the account is not yet open. Instead funding goes into a PENDING status and will be automatically posted when the HSA account is OPENED by the employee. Once the participant account is open all pending contributions will be applied and included on the next day’s HSA Contribution & Funding report for the grand total of the previously pended amount. *Sample Pending Contribution timeline available in Appendix

12 Expired Contributions
According to IRS Regulations, in order to apply a contribution to a HSA in a given calendar year, the HSA must be opened before 12/31 of that same year. All pending contribution records in the WageWorks database with a Funding Date prior to 1/1/2015 will be expired shortly after 1/1/2015 if the HSA is not open as of 12/31/2014. This process will occur at the beginning of each calendar year. If an HSA participant has pending contribution records in the WW database at the time of termination and the account is not open, those contributions will also be expired.

13 HSA Pending & Expired Contributions Report
This report should be used for several purposes: Review pending contributions and remind your employees to complete the HSA application in order for those contributions to post. Review expired contributions and determine if payroll deductions need to be returned to the participant on a post-tax basis.
