As a result of the 2001 Federal PATRIOT Act, all HSAs are subject to a screening process to verify the member's eligibility. Benefitwallet handles the screening for our members, protecting the member by ensuring their identity cannot be used for criminal purposes. They reach out to Capital BlueCross when a member fails to respond to the request for documentation.
Currently, members are permitted to open their HSAs before the screening is done. If the member fails the screening, resulting in closing their account, the funds are mailed back to the member. |
