Filing Claims If You Leave Boston University

Special rules apply to filing claims if you should leave Boston University before your claims are submitted.

Dependent Care Reimbursement Account 
You may continue to submit claims for reimbursement of eligible dependent care expenses incurred through the last day of the calendar year in which you terminate employment at Boston University. However, such claims must be submitted no later than the March 31 following the end of that calendar year. Any account balances remaining after that date will, by law, be forfeited.

Health Care Reimbursement Account 
You may elect to continue your participation in your account, through federal health care coverage continuation provisions. To do so, you must make your election within sixty days after the end of the month in which you leave Boston University. If you elect to continue your participation, your contributions will be made with after-tax dollars.

If you elect to discontinue your participation, your account balance will be frozen as of the date your employment ends. You may continue to submit claims for reimbursement of expenses incurred through the last day of the calendar year in which you terminate employment at Boston University. However, such claims must be submitted no later than the March 31 following the end of that calendar year. Any account balances remaining after that date will, by law, be forfeited.
