CAMPUS NOTES

Employees enrolled in the Health Care Reimbursement Account program for 2007 can use their spending cards, which should have arrived in late December or early January, at grocery and discount stores this year, reports Laura Morgan, health care facilitator. Also, last year’s enrollees have until June 15, 2007, to file claims for legitimate expenses acquired in 2006. The details are at <http://atyourservice. ucop.edu/briefing/2007_feb/spnd_acct_crd.html>. If no new card, which looks like a Visa card, has arrived, call SHPS customer service at (877) 270-3915. Morgan’s office also offers personal assistance.
