Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)

Definition
Employer-established AND employer-funded credit for approved medical expenses. No annual contribution limit, tax-free reimbursements, unused amounts carry forward — but NOT portable: leave the job, leave the balance.
Exam tip
HRA = employer's money on a leash. HSA = your money in your pocket.
Easy to confuse with

These are what this term gets tested against — if you can't tell them apart cold, drill the contrast.
