New Technology Greatly Reduces Need to Submit Paper Receipts

What does this new technology mean to me?

• Now you can shop for prescriptions, vision care items and other over-the-counter products at pharmacies and grocery stores with limited or no need to submit receipts if the merchant has adopted IIAS (Inventory Information Approval System) technology.

• The IIAS technology allows only FSA-eligible items to be paid for with the card.

• Retail pharmacies have until July 1, 2009 to adopt the IIAS technology; otherwise, the card will no longer work at these locations.

• Debit card substantiation rules still apply for services and items purchased from medical, vision or dental providers.

How does the card work at participating merchants?

1. Swipe your Benny card for your purchase.

2. The FSA-eligible items will be paid for via your Benny card provided that your card is active and there are funds available in your account. You will not need to submit a receipt for those purchases.

3. If some of the items you are purchasing are not FSA-eligible, the clerk will ask for another form of payment for those items.

4. Your Benny card receipt will indicate your FSA-eligible items for your records.
