To encourage you to keep fit and stay healthy, the BMC Fitness Reimbursement Program provides $225 per calendar year to help pay for fitness activities outside your home.

How to submit your claim for reimbursement:

1. Log on to YBR (identification and password required) and from the main menu click on Your Spending Account (YSA).
2. From the YSA Summary Page, select Manage Your Account, which takes you to the YSA home page.
3. Click on the Other Accounts tab. From the drop-down menu select Fitness, and then select Request Fitness Reimbursement.

For detailed information, read this How to Request Reimbursement for Fitness Expenses step-by-step guide.

Houston and Austin Employees: When requesting reimbursement for onsite gym membership fees to YSA, you must submit a copy of your last pay stub of the year showing your year-to-date contributions.

It is critical that you maintain your current address and other contact information on Employee Direct Access (EDA) so that you receive benefits communications in a timely manner. You can access EDA through the Oracle logon link on the BMC intranet home page.

Have a 401(k) or 403(b) at a former employer? Not sure what to do with it? Since your 401(k) assets are often a significant portion of your retirement savings, it's important to weigh the pros and cons of your options—and find the one that makes sense for you. Read More…

If you're ready to transfer money from another 401(k) or IRA to your BMC 401(k) account, start here or call a Fidelity representative at 1-866-546-4424 and request a "Roll-in" packet.

Mid-year is a good time to review your pay stubs carefully and make sure your 401(k) account contributions won't exceed the annual IRS contribution or compensation limits. If you received a bonus payment in May, you may need to adjust your 401(k) contribution percentage.

For 2013, the annual IRS 401(k) contribution limits are $17,500 ($23,000 if you are age 50 or older), and the annual compensation limit is $255,000. Your participation in the BMC 401(k) Plan for 2013 will stop at the first limit you reach. To learn more, watch this video about the BMC 401(k) Plan and use the BMC Retirement Savings Calculator. The calculator can help you figure out how much to contribute each pay period to make sure you don't exceed the limits and miss out on any of the BMC matching contributions. You'll find the calculator under “Employer News” on the right side of the home page on the Fidelity Netbenefits^® website.

How 401(k) Contributions Work
For every dollar you save in your 401(k) on a before-tax or Roth basis, BMC will contribute another dollar...up to the first 5% of your eligible pay (includes base pay, bonuses and sales commissions). BMC matching contributions are made each pay period with your payroll contributions.

The new NetBenefits^® Smartphone application (app) makes it easy and convenient to check your BMC 401(k) account on your mobile phone.

The app allows you to see how your 401(k) is performing. To make changes to your 401(k) investments on the spot, you tap the screen to call the toll-free number and reach a Fidelity representative.
