Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to reduce your taxable income by setting aside pre-tax dollars from each paycheck to pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care and dependent care expenses* for yourself, your spouse and your dependent children. In order to participate in the FSA, you must enroll each year. Your annual contribution stays in effect during the entire year (January 1st through December 31st). The only time you can change your election is during the enrollment period or if you experience a change in-status event. Also, you must elect this benefit within 30 days of your hire date or first date of benefits eligibility.

*You cannot enroll or contribute to an FSA if you are enrolled in and contribute to an HSA.

The maximum Medical Reimbursement amount for 2025 is $3,300.00 with a $660 maximum carryover amount.

The limit for Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts is $5,000.00 or $2,500.00 if married and filing taxes separately.
