TASC Payment Cards Issued due to Upcoming Expiration Dates

The Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) has indicated that participants in the Health Savings Accounts, Flexible Spending Accounts, and Commuter Fringe Benefit Accounts may have received a new TASC debit card if their TASC card was set to expire. TASC’s system automatically generates new cards 30 days prior to the expiration date. TASC has indicated that they’re not able to put a stop to issuing new cards since it’s an automated process.

If you are questioning why you received a new TASC FSA card, you may disregard the card since those cards will no longer be active after December 31, 2019.

TASC HSA Card Reminders:

  • Participants may continue to use their TASC HSA cards until February 2, 2020 if they have a balance in their HSA and have electronically authorized the transfer of their HSA to ConnectYourCare.
  • Participants may continue to use their TASC HSA cards indefinitely if they have a balance in their HSA and have not electronically authorized the transfer of their HSA; however, participants will be responsible for their monthly administrative fees with TASC.

Additional FAQ’s have been added to the FSA & HSA Vendor Change page to help clarify this situation.

Monthly Pay Date for December Earnings is January 2, 2020

For UW employees who are paid on the 1st of each month, the monthly pay date for December 2019 earnings is Thursday, January 2, 2019. January 2 is the pay date because January 1 (New Year’s Day) is a Federal Reserve holiday.

When a pay date falls on a weekend or Federal Reserve holiday, the pay date is usually the previous business day. An exception to this is the monthly pay date that falls on New Year’s Day, January 1.

To avoid tax-related issues, the January 1 pay date for December earnings is paid in the new calendar year and must be the first “official banking business day” following the New Year’s holiday. The “official banking business day” is defined as a calendar day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a Federal Reserve holiday.

Wellness Incentives are Taxable

The State of Wisconsin extends financial incentives to employees through the Well Wisconsin employee wellness program. If you are covered under the State of Wisconsin Group Health Insurance program, you and your spouse (if covered under the State Group Health Insurance Program) were eligible for the $150 Well Wisconsin incentive if you submitted a health screening result to StayWell, completed the StayWell health risk assessment and a Well-Being activity by October 11, 2019. StayWell is the State of Wisconsin wellness program administrator. Additionally, depending on the health plan you are enrolled with, you may also be eligible for financial reimbursements for wellness related expenses such as gym memberships, fitness classes, the cost to participate in Community Support Agriculture (CSA) programs and rewards for participating in health or wellness programs or challenges.

Per guidance from the federal government and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the wellness incentive benefits are classified as taxable fringe benefits. This means that any financial incentive you receive from the program is taxable income for state and federal tax purposes.

What this means for you: 

  • Financial incentives will be reported as taxable wages and subject to applicable withholdings and taxes. You will see withholdings for all incentives issued in the current calendar year reflected on your August or December earnings statement. This will include incentives issued to your eligible family members. Withholding may include 7.65% for Social Security and Medicare if the employee is FICA Eligible and may include federal and state withholding, depending on the number of exemptions you claimed on your W-4. Note: Some individuals may have met their Social Security Tax maximum in 2019 $8,239.80 and therefore, they may only have Medicare Tax withheld.
  • Withholding may include 7.65% for Social Security and Medicare if the employee is FICA Eligible and may include federal and state withholding, depending on the number of exemptions you claimed on your W-4.

  • Federal regulations require your employer to receive financial data regarding incentives issued to employees and their covered family members. Your health information is protected by federal privacy regulations and is not shared with your employer.

Even with the federal government’s tax regulations, eligible employees and their spouses are able to receive substantial financial rewards for using the wellness incentives offered by the State of Wisconsin and participating health plans.

For questions about the $150 Well Wisconsin incentive contact StayWell at wellwisconsin@staywell.com. For questions about incentives provided by your health plan carrier, contact your health plan carrier directly. If you have additional questions, contact wellness@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2203.
