Product Feature: One-time Contributions

Admins can use the one-time contribution feature to correct account funds.

Administrators of First Dollar HSAs can now make one-time contributions to an account. This feature will enable HSA administrators to make adjustments for underfunded accounts without contacting our (lovely!) Customer Support team.

🎶 All the administrators who are now independent, throw your hands up at me. ​​🎶)

Why did customers request this feature?

Employee A changed their HSA contribution amount to a higher amount, but I forgot to update their contribution last payroll cycle. One-time contributions allowed me to make an off-cycle contribution that corrected Employee A’s underfunded account. And I was able to do this all myself before I finished my coffee—no need for any phone calls or emails.
