Flexible Savings Accounts (FSAs)

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are a great way to use tax-free dollars for eligible health care and dependent care expenses. FSAs are voluntary — you decide each year how much money you want to save and deposits through payroll deductions are made to your FSA accounts on a pre-tax basis.
Here are the available FSAs to elect:

Healthcare FSA

Get reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by any medical, prescription, dental, or vision plan. Health Care FSAs are front loaded, so your entire election is available right away, and you make payments into the account throughout the year. This helps if you have larger expenses early in the year. Remember that these accounts have a use-it-or-lose-it functionality so make sure you find something to spend it on or you’ll lose money! Examples include deductibles, copays, contact lenses, hearing aids, and orthodontia.

Limited Purpose FSA — This account is offered to employees who elect the Savings Plan with an HSA as an alternative to the traditional Health Care FSA. This account similar the Health Care FSA, except only non-medical services (dental, vision, hearing) may be reimbursed.

Dependent Care FSA

Get reimbursed for work-related daycare for your children up to age 13, disabled children of any age and dependent parents who live with you. Examples include pre-school, day care centers, day camp.

The IRS establishes annual contribution limits that may change year to year. For a complete list of eligible expenses, go to HealthEquity.
