The FSA Store was founded on the idea that it should be simple and easy to use your FSA or HRA plan. This e-commerce site was built to take the guessing games out of eligibility. The site hosts over 6,000 products that are FSA and HRA eligible, in addition to tools and resources. And through the Agency’s new FSA/HRA administrator, 121 Benefits, you now have access to the FSA store! This is a great place to shop if you need to spend down some of the money in your Flex account! You can access it at the web link above or through a link in your 121 Benefits account.
- The largest selection of FSA and HSA eligible products that can be purchased online using the medical debit card or any major credit card.
- Free shipping on orders over $50.
- FSA Eligibility List is searchable and sortable by plan type and eligibility.
- FSA Calculator to assist participants in understanding how much to allocate.
- Prescription Processing: every product denoted as FSA eligible or FSA eligible with prescription.
- Extensive Learning Center Q & A
- Customer Service 24/7, chat and phone support

As always, contact Juliette Houseman, Benefits Specialist, if you have any questions.
Beginning
immediately, any internal applicants (current Heartland AEA staff)
requesting a transfer or position change will need to apply through the
Applitrack system, which is the application system external candidates
use to apply for positions at the Agency. If you've been hired within
the past two years, you should already have an Applitrack username and
password, and your information should be saved in the system. If not,
you’ll need to create a username and password in order to apply for
internal positions.
You'll want to upload a cover letter for
each position you are applying for, and you may need to fill out the
application with experience and education initially, but you won't need
to do so for subsequent applications. You also won't need to upload
letters of reference, transcripts or a resume unless requested. You will
still be able to find open positions each week in the Career
Opportunities email, as well as on the Internal Positions tab on the
Employee Dashboard. If you have any questions, contact Tony Chiaramonte, Human Resources Manager, at ext. 14534.
