Community education class allowance
How to use your allowance
Eligible members get an allowance loaded to their Healthy Benefits+ Visa® card to use toward most community education classes nationwide. To find a class, check a local community education catalog or contact a local school district for times and locations.
You can use your Healthy Benefits+ card to enroll in a class in person, over the phone or online.
Allowance amounts and expiration dates vary by plan. The card won't work if you're no longer a member. UCare isn't able to reimburse for classes that are paid for without the Healthy Benefits+ card.
To learn more, check your card balance or request a replacement card, visit healthybenefitsplus.com/ucare or call 1-833-862-8276 (TTY users call 711). This phone number is also on the back of your Healthy Benefits+ card.
