| Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) |
Eligibility: All regular full-time employees after 89 days of continuous employment.
FSA's allow employees to save money on a pre-tax basis to pay for eligible healthcare and dependent care expenses.
The Plan offers two reimbursement account options:
- Healthcare Reimbursement - maximum contribution of $2,500 a year with a minimum contribution of $250 a year, and/or
- Dependent Care Reimbursement - maximum contribution $5,000 (or $2,500 if married filing single) per year with a minimum contribution of $250 per year
The IRS places strict guidelines on this type of plan. One of the most important is the "Use-it-or-Lose-it" rule. Money left in the Plan cannot be rolled over to the next plan year and cannot be paid to the employee. |
