How do I submit receipts for the health allowance?

In this article, you will learn how to submit receipts for your health expenses via the become.1 app to receive the health allowance provided by your employer.

Step-by-Step Guide: Submitting Health Expenses

Follow these steps to upload your receipts in the app and get your health expenses subsidized. Please keep in mind: "Flex" refers to the reimbursement of general private expenses, while "Health" is the specific module for the tax-free health allowance.

  1. Open the become.1 app and navigate to the "Flex" section (reimbursement of private costs) or directly to the "Health" module.
  2. Click on the button to upload a new receipt.
  3. Upload the required supporting documents. (Note: You generally need the certificate of attendance, the course certificate, and the invoice. However, a combined certificate of attendance is also sufficient, provided it contains clear proof of payment.)
  4. Enter all necessary information regarding the health measure.
  5. Submit your application.

Important Notes regarding the Health Allowance

Which measures can I submit?

Through the Health module, you can submit any health prevention measures across Germany that are certified by the Zentrale Prüfstelle für Prävention (ZPP) (e.g., certified back health courses, yoga, or nutritional counseling). You can find an overview of all available options HERE

When do I need to submit the receipt?

The performance date (when the measure actually took place) must fall within the same calendar year as the submission of the document.

  • Example: If you attended a course in January, you can still submit the receipt months later, e.g., in September, and get reimbursed. The only requirement is that both the course and the submission happen within the same calendar year.

When will the reimbursement be paid out?

The payout of your health allowance takes place in the month following your submission and is processed directly via your payslip.
