INFORMATION FOR: RCUH Employees (Active and Terminated) enrolled in HMSA medical plans on December 1, 2021
This notification is applicable to individuals enrolled in an RCUH HMSA plan on December 1, 2021. As a result of HMSA’s financial recovery emerging from the pandemic, HMSA is providing members with a 14.46% refund for the December 2021 premiums. RCUH will be returning these funds back to all employees and project accounts affected during payroll processing for the August 1-15th pay period (pay day: August 22, 2023).
What to expect:
Active Employees:
RCUH will process a refund to affected employees during the August 1-15, 2023 pay period to their active direct deposit account on file. You will see two pay stubs – one for regular pay period earnings and one for the refund amount.
Terminated Employees:
RCUH will process a refund to affected individuals to their last direct deposit account on file. If your account is closed, we will receive an ACH return from the bank and a manual check will be issued in the name of the enrollee and mailed to your address on file.
If your original deduction was made on a pre-tax basis (default), please be aware that the refunded amount may be taxable. You should expect communication regarding your tax year 2023 W-2 in late January 2024. If you have a consent to receive your W-2 electronically on file, you will be able to access your document on RCUH Employee Self Service (ESS) by January 31, 2024. Access to ESS is still available to past employees. Password resets are available via the self-service feature or you may call RCUH Human Resources at (808) 956-8900.
Please direct any questions or concerns to RCUH Human Resources via email at [email protected] or (808) 956-8900.
