Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) help save you taxes when paying for certain health care and dependent care expenses. Money is deducted from your paycheck and put into your accounts before federal, state and Social Security taxes are calculated. During the plan year, you incur eligible expenses in health care and dependent care. You submit a claim for reimbursement and you are paid back out of your accounts. Because you are “paid back” out of an account that is never subject to taxes, the bottom line is that you pay less taxes on your total earnings. In short, you save money that otherwise would have been eaten up in taxes! If you have a change in family status, Health and Dependent Care Reimbursement Accounts may be added or increased. Please see the change of status guidelines for qualifications. All claims must be incurred after the effective date of the qualifying event. A new enrollment form must be completed each calendar year to continue participation even if you are not changing amounts.
