A Flexible Spending Account can help increase your take-home pay. You pay out-of-pocket, unreimbursed health care expenses (up to $5,000) and/or dependent (adult and child day) care expenses (up to $5,000) on a pre-tax basis each calendar year. 

There are three types of FSAs:

• Health Care FSA
  For you and your dependents’ uninsured health care expenses;
• Limited Health FSA (for HealthFund HSA participants only)
  For you and your dependents' uninsured dental and vision care expenses; and
• Dependent (Day) Care FSA
  For your adult and child day care expenses while you work.

Participation in an FSA requires re-enrollment every November for the following calendar year claims. 

IMPORTANT:  New Hires or newly benefits-eligible faculty and staff may enroll within 31 days of becoming eligible for claims incurred during the remainder of that calendar year.  

Separate enrollments are required for each calendar year.   Newly-eligible faculty and staff may enroll within 31 days for the current calendar year claims and re-enroll in November for claims incurred the following calendar year.
