6. What happens when I receive my Benefits Card?
You will receive one card, though you may request another.
Your card will be activated with the first swipe of the card.
There will be no fees associated with the card.
You will receive one card. In your enrollment verification packet, you will receive a form to request one additional card for a spouse or a dependent. If you or an authorized card holder loses or accidentally destroys a card, contact CompuSys/Erisa Group Inc. immediately so that we can turn off your current card and issue a replacement card. A $1.00 fee will be deducted from your FSA account to replace each lost, stolen or destroyed card.
Activating your Flexible Benefits Debit Card

7. How Do I use my card?
