Upload your Payroll Deduction File
Upload a properly formatted Excel file and our system compares our data against your information, providing discrepancies in minutes. If you cannot upload a formatted Excel file, you'll receive a discrepancy report from your billing specialist to reconcile your bill.
Reconcile Line by Line
We provide an online bill outlining what's due. Then, you will make changes that reflect your payroll records.

Changes are only made once the funds are received and the bill is posted. If the prior month's bill has not been posted, the changes will not reflect on the current bill.

Third-Party Sick Pay Reporting pertains to the reporting of payments made by a third party, like an insurance company or an employer's disability plan, to an employee who cannot work because of sickness or injury. Since disability benefits are paid directly to employees, American Fidelity is considered a third party payer of sick pay. Because of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) regulations, employers must report benefits paid to employees by third parties on Form W-2 and other payroll forms. To help you fulfill this requirement, we provide Third-Party Sick Pay Reports.
The Third-Party Sick Pay Reports include all the information you need to report the disability benefits paid to your employees.

If there are any pending benefits, the employee will need to go back and waive them before proceeding to the next step, where they will enter their PIN on the election form.

Data is stored and managed on secure systems. Access to systems is restricted to a limited number of authorized personnel. Physical access is also controlled by proximity readers and escorted access. Security updates are applied regularly based on the level of criticality and applicability.

Your employee likely answered ‘yes’ on one of the preliminary questions on the FSA page regarding Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). HSAs are only for employees participating in a Qualified High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
If your employee or their spouse has this type of medical plan, and they contribute to an HSA, then your employee does not qualify for an FSA. If your employee has participated in the FSA previously, this is not the same as an HSA, and they will need to answer ‘no’ to the questions about HSAs. If they answered ‘yes’ already, they can change their answer to ‘no.’
