Victory!
When I left district 112 in 2017, I had earned a few thousand dollars in the Minnesota State Retirement System from my unused personal days. The money was deposited into a Health Care Savings Plan.
I looked into being able to add money into it but was told that deposits could only come through a school district. So the money has been sitting and growing for nine years.
We no longer have dental insurance and I have dental challenges. When a toothache this spring meant I needed a root canal procedure, we knew we would just have to pay for it out of pocket.
I started wondering about the HSCP and accessing that money. I looked into what I had to do to get reimbursed a few months ago. I even went on their website and downloaded the necessary forms.
Last week, I set this as my One Thing to just finally follow through! Worst case, they won't reimburse the dental expenses. Best case, we'll have $1,500 deposited into our checkbook.
I could post a picture of my sad little tooth stub before the crown was put back, but that's just gross. Instead, here's a picture of the envelope that I was able to take to the post office last week:
