There is a “Grace Period” that allows participants to incur additional expenses until March 15th of the next tax year if necessary.*
Keep your receipts, even if you are using the “Flex Card”. All funds need to be claimed through NBS by the last BUSINESS day in March of the next tax year.* Don’t overestimate your expenses:
Use It or Lose It: If you don’t claim the money you have contributed by the deadline … you WILL lose it.* Contribution amounts cannot be adjusted unless you have a qualifying change of status.
*These deadlines may be different if you resign or retire in a year when you are enrolled in Flexible Spending. Please contact Elizabeth in Payroll at (801) 402-5236 if you have any questions.
