Coming Soon: 125 Plan and HRA Open Enrollment; 2027 Payroll Dates Needed

Open enrollment begins Sunday, November 1, for the coming year’s 125 Plan and health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) plans.

If your cooperative will offer one or both of these plans administered by Cooperative Benefit Administrators, Inc. (CBA) in 2027, you’ll need to enroll your employees during the open enrollment period, November 1–30.

IMPORTANT: Before open enrollment starts, if your co-op will sponsor a 125 Plan, you must submit your 2027 payroll calendar dates by email to  cba.fsa.hra@nreca.coop, if you haven’t already. Payroll dates are required to accurately calculate employee contribution amounts during open enrollment.

To prepare, visit the 125 Plan and HRA Open Enrollment page to find information and resources that walk you through the process and help ensure that your enrollments go smoothly.

To complete your enrollments on or after November 1, go to the Manage 125 Plan and HRA page in the BA Guide.

Questions? Contact CBA at 866.673.2299 or email ebsmailbox@nreca.coop.
