DeMing of Accounts. A Participant's HRA Account will be debited during each Period of <br />Coverage for any reimbursement of Medical Care Expenses incurred during the Period of <br />Coverage. <br />c. Available Amount. The amount available for reimbursement of Medical Care Expenses is the <br />amount credited to the Participant's HRA Account under subsection (a) reduced by prior <br />reimbursements debited under subsection (b). <br /> <br />6.5 Carryover of Accounts <br />If any balance remains in the Participant's HRA Account for a Period of Coverage after all <br />reimbursements have been made for the Period of Coverage, such balance shall be carried over to <br />reimburse the Participant for Medical Care Expenses incurred during a subsequent Period of Coverage. <br /> <br />6.6 Reimbursement Procedure <br />a.

This <br />time period may be extended for an additional 15 days for matters beyond the control of the <br />Administrator, including in cases where a reimbursement claim is incomplete.
