    Attestation Forms

    Make sure you receive your Bonus Action points for vital wellness activities such as vaccinations, annual physicals, or the Penn Comprehensive Smoking Treatment Program by submitting an Attestation Form. These forms allow participants to upload completion information for certain Bonus Actions right on the Virgin Pulse platform Rewards page.

    All Attestation Forms will include an Attestation Box for participants to click to acknowledge that the information provided is true and accurate. You may also need to upload documentation as proof of completion. (Penn reserves the right to request a paper copy of any information you provide.)

    To access the Attestation Forms:

    • Log on to the Virgin Pulse platform.
    • On the homepage, in the top navigation, go to "Home" and click on "Rewards."
    • Scroll down to the appropriate Bonus Action you wish to complete, such as "Receive a Bi-Annual Dental Cleaning/Exam."
    • This will open up a window for you to complete the form.
    • Fill in all of the required fields and upload documentation as directed.
    • Click “Submit.”

     

    *Per IRS guidelines, all Be in the Know rewards are subject to applicable payroll taxes at the time they are earned and rewarded to participants - even if rewards have not yet been redeemed (i.e., spent). While the rewards are provided through Virgin Pulse's Rewards Program, mandatory payroll taxes on the value of earned rewards will be processed through participants' paychecks. For the 2023-2024 campaign year, taxes will be processed in October 2023, and January, April, and July 2024 paychecks. Participants will see applicable rewards taxes deducted from their paychecks in these months, if rewards were earned during the prior time period. Paystubs will note "Imputed Income: Wellness" plus the amount of earned rewards for that particular tax cycle.
