A new way to fund your HRA – the COVID-19 booster
Trust participants and spouses who are Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) eligible can now earn $100 in HRA funding just by getting the COVID-19 booster shot.
If you received the Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine primary series, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommends that you get a booster dose*. The booster will decrease your risk of infection and severe illness from COVID-19 and better protect those around you. Boost your immunity and your pocketbook at the same time!

When and Where You Can Get Vaccinated
Three COVID-19 vaccines have been proven safe and effective by the FDA for people who are 16 and older, and the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for children 12-15 years of age. With the increase in production and locations, it is getting easier to make an appointment to get vaccinated. If you haven’t done it yet, now is a great time.
Remember, the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines requires two doses to be effective, and you must get both doses in 2021 to quality for 2022 HRA funding.
PPO Plan Participants
You can get the vaccine from a Trust Custom Network Pharmacy, or your local grocery story pharmacy where you work (where available). You can also find vaccination locations by county on the WA Department of Health website.
If you cannot find a location near you on the list, contact your health care provider for guidance. If you do not have access to the internet, or need assistance, dial 1-800-525-0127, then press #. If you call, be patient. Due to a high volume of calls, people are experiencing long wait times.
