Learn More About Your SF MRA Funds
You and your family can use SF MRA funds to get money back for many covered health and wellness expenses. These funds belong to you even if:
- You have other health care
- You change jobs
- You leave the state or country
But, you must keep your account active to keep using your funds.
Why You Need to Keep Your SF MRA Active
The City and County of San Francisco will close any SF MRA that is not active for three years.
We want to help you keep your account open so you can use your funds. Some SF MRA notices will include a date that you should “Spend Your Funds By.” This date is always three years after your last account activity. This date resets after new activity on your account.
What Counts as Account Activity?
Many things help keep your account active, like:
- Enrolling in the SF MRA benefit
- Getting a new deposit from your employer
- Filing a claim to get money back for an eligible expense
You will get a notice by mail or email up to four times per year. This notice will tell you the balance of your available SF MRA funds.
What is Your SF MRA Effective Date?
Your SF MRA effective date is the date when your employer first put funds into your SF MRA. You can file claims for covered health costs starting from this date forward.
Even if you just found out you have funds in an SF MRA, you can file claims all the way back to your effective date. Start using your SF MRA to cover your health costs today!
