Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) allow you to contribute pre-tax dollars from your paycheck for qualified out-of-pocket eligible expenses. You decide at enrollment how much you want to save (up to the annual contribution limits). Throughout the year, you make contributions through pre-tax payroll deductions in equal amounts.
You may not change contributions or cancel within the calendar year, unless you have an eligible IRS-qualifying family status change.
For a list of qualifying expenses and eligibility rules, visit FSA Qualified Expenses or call 877-924-3967.
