2021 Benefits Tips and Reminders

The 2021 Benefits Tips and Reminders packet is now available! This helpful document provides step-by-step information on how to access your ID cards*, create an online profile, log into your HSA account online, and more, including:

  • How to register for online account access with GW benefits vendor partners
  • How to view, print and request permanent/temporary ID cards
  • How to fill a prescription if you haven’t received your ID card yet
  • How to file FSA paper claim reimbursements
  • How to activate your HSA

*Please note: New plan participants will receive ID cards via mail for your medical and pharmacy plans. ID cards are not provided for the dental and vision plans; however, your plan details are available through the online vendor portals.

Be sure to note important deadlines, especially related to Health Care and Dependent Day Care FSAs (HCFSA and DCFSA).
