Your Path - Earn Incentives

Taking care of your health is important and can lead to better quality of life.

2026

The Wellness Incentive Program will be back in 2026 as an additional investment in your health and wellness. The 2026 program runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2026. 

With the addition of the online learning module, we are increasing the 2026 wellness incentive by $150 for both employees and spouses. You can each earn up to $700 total (employee/spouse) or $1,400 total (employee + child or family) for your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) by completing all the incentive steps. 2026 incentives can be earned from January 1 to December 31, 2026, and includes the required annual physical, which must be completed before payment for other objectives will be paid; however, individuals can complete the steps in whatever order they choose. The additional, optional incentive opportunities for 2026 are:

  • Completing annual biometrics
  • Completing health risk assessment
  • Completing dental or vision exam
  • Completing anxiety/depression screening
  • Completing one annual preventive wellness screening, such as a bone density screening, colonoscopy, etc.
  • Completing one annual vaccination, such as a flu shot, shingles vaccine, etc.
  • Completing the online learning module

WHEN WILL YOU RECEIVE WELLNESS INCENTIVES?
Incentive payments are made on a monthly basis through the employee’s Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA).

After completing the requirements, incentive funds will be received by the end of the day (11:59 p.m.) on the business day following your last pay date of the month (month after incentives are completed). A report in aggregate will be provided to Human Resources indicating how much each person should receive based on completed items. Human Resources will not receive any personal health information related to your incentive completion.

Ex) A person who fulfills the wellness program requirements by the end of April, including submitting their information in the Your Path Portal, will receive incentive dollars by the end of the day (11:59 p.m.) on the business day following their last pay date in May into an HSA or an HRA.

  • If you have an HSA: Payments for both the employee and spouse will be deposited directly to the employee’s HSA.
  • If you don’t have an HSA: Employees without an HSA will receive payments to a HRA which Purdue will set up. HRA accounts are similar to flexible spending accounts (FSA). HRA funds can be used for the same types of health expenses as the FSAs; like the FSAs, funds do not roll forward at the end of the calendar year.
