The Benny Card

Supplemental Health Benefit

Each adult tribal citizen is eligible for a $1,500 benefit for medical/health related expenses. The maximum family benefit (adult tribal citizen with enrolled children, spouses are not covered) is $2,500.

The “Benny Card” can only be used at entities who have an approved IRS inventory control system in place. The program year is Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. You will not be able to use your debit card after this date for any expenses for the previous year. If you have expenses for that year which come in after the first of the year, you will need to pay them and file for reimbursement by Feb. 28. Beginning January 2024, the amounts will increase to $1,500 for adults and $2,500 for families. Family Services staff can assist with basic questions regarding this program, but may refer tribal citizens to Trustmark (the company who manages this program for the Wyandotte Nation). You can call Trustmark at (877) 267-3359. Below is a link to a flyer with information regarding the Trustmark app. The app is a handy tool. You can check balances, file claims and view claim status.
