You can have 75,000 in the Diamond HRA. (25 years x 3000 year) when you retire and all of it goes back to spirit. You get nothing
whereas the HSA is 2000 free money from spirit every year and a 5300 FSA that you don’t have to use or lose
it’s not spirits call to allow pilots to change the HRA rules to allow us to take the HRA balance with us when we retire because the IRS makes the rules for HRAs. We’d have to get congress to change the rules.
Do you know for a fact that the current HRA balance (what the company owns) can’t be rolled over to an employer funded Retirement Reimbursement Account? Im not a benefits specialist but I know there is an HRA and a Retiree HRA. The company should be able to fund the Retiree HRA with a lump sum at time of retirement.
