What is a Flexible Spending Account?

Flexible spending accounts, or FSAs, help you pay for out-of-pocket health care or dependent care expenses.

21

Page 22: Your 2012 Benefits Employee Meeting

How FSAs work

• You sign up each year to have a certain amount deducted pre-tax from each paycheck

• When you have out-of-pocket eligible expenses, you can use your FSA to reimburse yourself for those costs

• Eligible expenses are defined by the IRS

22

Page 23: Your 2012 Benefits Employee Meeting

How FSAs work• Plan carefully, start small until you gain

experience− FSA funds must be spent within the plan

year or balance is forfeited

− Funds do not roll over year to year

• But, you have a “grace period” of up to 2½ months following end of plan year − Spend by March 15 of the following year

− File by March 31 of the following year

23
