Product Feature: One-time Contributions

Admins can use the one-time contribution feature to correct account funds.

Administrators of First Dollar HSAs can now make one-time contributions to an account. This feature will enable HSA administrators to make adjustments for underfunded accounts without contacting our (lovely!) Customer Support team.

Why did customers request this feature?

Employee A changed their HSA contribution amount to a higher amount, but I forgot to update their contribution last payroll cycle. One-time contributions allowed me to make an off-cycle contribution that corrected Employee A’s underfunded account. And I was able to do this all myself before I finished my coffee—no need for any phone calls or emails.
