VEBA/115 Trusts + HRA
How do VEBA/115 Trusts work with HRAs?
A VEBA/Section 115 Trust serves as the funding vehicle behind your benefit strategy. Most employers pair it with an account-based Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) that defines how funds can be used.
BPAS specializes in designing and administering funded HRAs that align with your benefits strategy and workforce needs. Employer contributions are held in a trust, grow over time, and are paid out as claims are approved—giving you control, flexibility, and long-term sustainability.
We work closely with you to structure an HRA that supports your workforce, without unnecessary administrative burden or inflated costs.
Why Add HRA
Why include an HRA in your VEBA/115 Trust strategy?
If you’re managing long-term healthcare obligations or post-employment benefits, an HRA funded through a VEBA/115 Trust can be a powerful solution.
BPAS designs employer-funded HRAs that reimburse eligible medical expenses based on plan rules you define. Our integrated platform supports secure account management, efficient claims processing, and debit card access—making the experience simpler for both employers and participants.
