WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Republic Services provides annual flex credits based on the Extended Health and Dental options you choose. Your Health and Dental credits are added together to determine your total flex credit amount for the year. You can allocate all of your flex credits to your Health Care Spending Account (HCSA), or allocate up to $500 to a Wellness Spending Account (WSA) and place the remaining credits in your HCSA. If your coverage begins during the year, your flex credits will be prorated.
