What is a Flexible Spending Account? Flexible spending accounts, or FSAs, help you pay for out-of-pocket health care or dependent care expenses. 21

How FSAs work You sign up each year to have a certain amount deducted pre-tax from each paycheck When you have out-of-pocket eligible expenses, you can use your FSA to reimburse yourself for those costs Eligible expenses are defined by the IRS 22

How FSAs work Plan carefully, start small until you gain experience − FSA funds must be spent within the plan year or balance is forfeited − Funds do not roll over year to year But, you have a “grace period” of up to 2½ months following end of plan year − Spend by March 15 of the following year − File by March 31 of the following year 23

Health care FSA You can set aside $8,000 for 2012 Use it for (but not limited to): –Copayments and deductibles –Dental and vision expenses –Hearing aids –Prescription drugs –Certain over-the-counter medications, if prescribed by a doctor 24

Dependent care FSA You can set aside up to $5,000 for 2012 Use it for: –Qualified day care expenses for children under 13 –Adult dependents not capable of caring for themselves –Babysitters, day care and day camps may qualify 25

Turn on auto-rollover Pay out-of-pocket and money automatically transfers to your FSA If you enroll in the HRA Plan, eligible expenses are automatically paid from your HRA first, then your FSA 26
