I still don’t understand the differences between BRI and BPAS. When do I access my account through BRI and when do I access my account through BPAS?

Benefit Resource (BRI) is the pretax administrator for the HRA VEBA (as well as other pre-tax accounts you may be enrolled in). BRI processes your reimbursement claims, manages the card, and provides participant support on expense eligibility and the BRIWEB. BPAS is the daily valued record-keeper and custodian of your VEBA account. BPAS manages the funds in the trust and manages the investment of funds and provides support on investments and site navigation.
