Filing Dependent Care Reimbursement Account Claims

The DCRA is administered by Employee Benefit Data Services (EBDS).

You have until June 30 of the following year to be reimbursed for claims incurred during the plan year (for example, until June 30, 2008 for 2007 expenses or until June 30, 2009 for 2008 expenses). To be reimbursed for qualifying dependent care expenses, follow these procedures:

  1. Complete sections 1, 3 and 4 of the first page of the EBDS Claim Form. (Sections 2 is for HCFSA expenses.)
  2. Attach the appropriate documentation - aka, a bill from the care provider. (See page 2 of the claim form for instructions and documentation requirements.)
  3. Mail the form to: Account Service Center, P.O. Box 22128, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or Fax to: 412-394-9669
