Flexible Spending Accounts A flexible spending account (FSA) is an account in an employee’s name that reimburses the employee for qualified health care or dependent care expenses. It allows an employee to fund qualified expenses with pre-tax dollars deducted from the employee’s paychecks. The employee can receive cash reimbursement up to the total value of the account for covered expenses incurred during the benefit plan year and any applicable grace period. “Use-it-or-lose-it” Rule As required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), an FSA has a “use-it-or-lose-it” provision stating that any unused funds at the end of the plan year (plus any applicable grace period) will be forfeited. When electing an FSA during open enrollment, the employee must specify how much he or she would like to contribute to the FSA for the year. The goal is to choose an amount that will cover medical or dependent care expenses, but that is not so high that the money will be forfeited at the end of the year. The IRS allows employers to offer an extended deadline, or grace period, of 2 ½ months after the end of a plan year to use FSA funds. Thus, for a plan year ending Dec. 31, employees would have until March 15 to spend the funds in their FSAs. This provision is strictly optional; the employer must choose to implement it. Types of FSAs There are two different types of FSAs: health care accounts and dependent care accounts. An employee can elect to have both types of accounts and contribute separate pre-tax dollars to each. These accounts are kept separate; for instance, an employee could not be reimbursed for dependent care expenses from his or her health care account. Health Care Accounts A health care FSA reimburses employees for eligible medical expenses, up to the amount contributed for the plan year. A health care FSA offered through a cafeteria plan must limit the amount of salary reduction contributions that employees can make. For 2024, the limit is $3,200. A health care FSA only reimburses employees for money spent on medical care, as defined underSection 213(d) of the Tax Code. Section 213(d) of the Tax Code defines “medical care” to include amounts paid “for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body.” Examples of qualified medical expenses include deductibles and copayments for an individual’s health plan. Eye exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing exams, hearing aids, physical exams and smoking cessation programs are also covered. For a complete list of qualified medical expenses, visit the IRS website.

Many of the same general rules that apply to health care FSAs also apply to dependent care accounts, such as the “use it orlose it” rule. However, there are some other important differences between the two types of accounts. For dependent careaccounts: There is an annual limit as to how much an employee can contribute. This amount is $5,000, or, if lower, the maximumamount that can be excluded from the employee’s income under Section 129 of the Tax Code when the employee’selection is made; The money in a dependent care account is not available until it has been deposited by the employee; and Dependent care expenses cannot be reimbursed until they are actually incurred. This can be an issue when child carecenters “pre-bill” for services, and employees are required to pay in advance.

Dependent Care Accounts The second type of FSA is a dependent care account. This account can be used to pay for care of dependent children under the age of 13 by a babysitter, day care center, or before- or after-school program. Care for a disabled spouse, parent or child over the age of 12 is also eligible for reimbursement.
