IMPORTANT
Please note that for all your Reimbursement Accounts, unless you have:
- Established an Ongoing Eligibility File with ABG (a connection between your HRIS or payroll vendor and our IT Department), and
- You have received confirmation that this file is in production from ABG’s IT Department, then…
You must notify American Benefits Group of all new enrollments, terminations, or election changes. American Benefits Group will process your reimbursement account changes in our system upon notification and you will receive notice once the item has been processed. Please allow two business days for processing of any requests.
