Steps to Earning an HSA Incentive Contribution
Mercer County employees who meet the HSA eligibility regulations and participate in the wellness activities as outlined in the Program Guide can earn employer HSA contributions.
You must complete the requirements within each period. Many activities require you to submit forms to the health promotion coordinator at [email protected]. If you do not receive a confirmation of receipt, then follow-up with the coordinator.
Although Mercer County does not require an eligible employee to be employed at the time of the HSA distribution, you must have been actively employed on the last day of the program period.
