Wellness rebate coming Nov. 8
October 21, 2019
The wellness rebate will be paid out on the R23 paycheck, which will be paid on Nov.
8. The rebate is for employees and spouses who completed the FY19 program by April
30, 2019.
Due to a delayed implementation of the new wellness program, employees hired since
the end of the new program have 90 days from the current program launch date of Sept.
17, 2019, to qualify for the prorated FY20 rebate, to be paid in spring 2020 or earlier.
The full rebate amount is $600 for the employee and $600 for the enrolled spouse.
For new employees and spouses, the rebate will be prorated from when the requirements
for the plan were completed. As in past years, employees must be enrolled on the health
plan and be an active employee to receive the rebate.
If you missed qualifying for the rebate this time around, you can still earn it for
next year! The current program runs through June 30 to earn the rebate for November
2020. Biometric screenings will be set up in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau in December,
with more locations and events early next year. More details on the program and all
the information you need to earn your rebate are on the wellness page.
