on their own and turn in their mileage to the Team Captain each week.
Everything will be posted online so that participants can see how their
team is doing compared to other district teams. The wellness program is

Notice Regarding Over the
Counter Flex System Debit Card Claims
 Due
to guidelines by the IRS, beginning January 2010,
non-medical discount merchants (such as Wal-Mart,
Walgreen’s, Target, grocery-stores, etc.) must be IIAS
certified in order for over-the-counter medical expenses
to be deemed eligible for purchase via the Claim Card.
If the merchant is IIAS certified the purchase (using
the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) number) will be checked
against a list of eligible 213 expenses and, if
eligible, the item will be allowed to be paid with the
card and will automatically be marked ‘Substantiated’ by
FlexSystem. (read
