Effective July 1, 2009, all non-health care merchants will be required to have a compliant Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) in place in order to accept electronic payment via the flex debit card for qualifying health care expenses. The list of compliant merchants is constantly growing. For a current list of compliant merchants click here.

Please advise all of your participants that as of July 1, 2009, their flex debit cards may not work at some merchants, including pharmacies and drug stores, if IIAS requirements have not been met. Click here to access a document to distribute to your participants to inform them of this change. This document can also be found on our website.

Thank You!
