Plan Year & Enrollment

The benefit plan year starts September 1st and ends August 31st. Employees who want to continue the Health Care FSA benefit must re-enroll each year during Spring Enrollment. Employees may also make eligible changes if they experience a qualifying event allowed by the IRS for Cafeteria Plans. For more information, visit the Benefits webpage. 

With a Day Care FSA you can pay for child care for any dependent children up to age 13. You can also pay for care for your spouse or relative –13 years or older — that is physically or mentally incapable of self-care and lives in your home 50% of the year. 

FSA Funds Grace Period

You have until November 15th of a given plan year to incur eligible expenses if you have a remaining balance in your Health Care FSA from the previous plan year. You have until November 30th to submit the eligible expenses incurred through November 15th. Please keep in mind, if you still have a balance remaining after November 30th, you will forfeit that money per IRS guidelines.
