  • The Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a way for you to save income taxes when paying for eligible Health Care OR Dependent Care expenses. The FSA is a use it or lose it plan and any unused funds are forfeited.

    • Health Care FSA
      Related expenses may include medical, prescription, vision and dental insurance co-pays, coinsurance, and deductibles not covered by insurance.  The first time you enroll in a Health Care FSA, you will receive a FSA debit card, which allows you to pay directly from your FSA account without having to wait to be reimbursed. Review the IRS Rules regarding undocumented FSA debit charges. *Please note that PSA debit cards have a 5 year expiration cycle. If the employee has been previously enrolled in the FSA with a card that has not yet expired, they will not be sent a new card following their re-enrollment. Replacement cards are subject to a reissue fee.
