Health Care Flexible Spending Account

Set Aside Pre-Tax Dollars for Qualified Medical Expenses.

A Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a voluntary benefit that allows you to set aside money from your paycheck before taxes are taken out to pay for eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. These include copays, prescriptions, dental and vision costs, and other medical-related expenses not covered by insurance.

Participating in an FSA can help you save money and better plan for expected medical costs throughout the year.

Plan Year & Enrollment

The Health Care FSA plan year runs from September 1st through August 31st.

Because this is a voluntary benefit, employees must re-enroll each year during the Spring Enrollment period to continue participating.
Eligible changes may also be made during the year if you experience a qualifying life event as defined by IRS Cafeteria Plan rules.

For more information, please visit the Benefits webpage.

FSA Grace Period & Deadlines

If you have unused funds in your Health Care FSA at the end of the plan year, you have a grace period through November 15th to incur eligible expenses.

All expenses incurred during that grace period must be submitted by November 30th.

Per IRS guidelines, any remaining balance not used or submitted by the deadline will be forfeited.
