Keep more of your money with the Flexible Spending Accounts best suited for you.

Your Savings Add Up

With a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can save an average of 30 percent by using pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible FSA expenses for you, your spouse, and qualifying children or relatives.

Here’s how an FSA works. Money for your FSA is deducted automatically from your paycheck before taxes are taken out. You can then use your pre-tax FSA funds throughout the plan year to pay for eligible health care or dependent care expenses. The types of products or services that are FSA-eligible depend on what type of FSA you have. Explore the options below to learn which programs are best suited for you and your family.
