The Massachusetts Driver Portable Health Fund is a first-of-its-kind benefit designed to provide a cash stipend to help drivers pay for health insurance.

What is the Portable Health Fund?

Starting April 1, 2025, you can accrue active hours toward a quarterly health care stipend. If you meet the eligibility requirements, a third-party administrator (Stride Health) will pay you a cash stipend to put towards a qualifying health insurance plan.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for a stipend, you must meet requirements for both active hours and health plan enrollment in a given calendar quarter.

• Active Hours: Your active hours on both Uber and Lyft are combined to determine eligibility.
• Full Stipend: Average at least 25 active hours per week during the quarter.
• Partial Stipend: Average between 15 and 25 active hours per week during the quarter.
• Qualifying Health Plan: You must be enrolled in a health insurance plan where you are the subscriber and that is not paid for by an employer (past or present) and is not a Medicare or Medicaid plan. You can find qualifying plans on the Massachusetts Health Connector website.

How to Apply & Timeline

The process is managed quarterly. The first eligibility period is Q2 2025 (April 1 - June 30, 2025).

• Documentation Window: In the month following the end of a quarter (e.g., July 1-31 for Q2), you will submit proof of enrollment in a qualifying plan to the administrator, Stride Health.
• Payment Window: Stipends are paid out in the second half of the following month (e.g., August 15-31 for the Q2 stipend).
