Most Popular Questions

What if I accelerate my allotments and then decide to separate?

You can only be reimbursed for health care expenses incurred prior to the date of separation or retirement even if you have accelerated your allotments (FSA contributions). You are not eligible for reimbursement even if there is still money in your Health Care FSA (HCFSA) or Limited Expense Health Care FSA (LEX HCFSA) to pay these expenses.

You can continue to use the remaining balance in your Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA) to pay for eligible dependent care expenses until the end of the benefit period or until your account balance is depleted, whichever comes first.
