fleXiBle SPenDing account Plancalculating your annual election and Per Pay Period contributionsDuring each annual open enrollment period, you have the opportunity to enroll in the FSA plans. Participation is voluntary —you decide if you want to participate, and how much you want to contribute for the plan year. Your plan year election will be divided by the number of pay periods in the plan year. Each pay period, your employer deducts an amount from your paycheckand sets it aside in the plan.For the Health Care FSA plan, it is helpful to look back at the previousyear’s expenses, and think about the expenses you expect to incur in the coming plan year, then determine your upcoming annual election. For the Dependent Care FSA, total the amount you expect to spend on eligible dependent care during the upcoming plan year to determine your annual election. An online expense calculator is available to help you determine if the DCFSA or the Child Care Tax Credit is a better benefit for you. Remember — You must re-enroll each year if you would like to continue participating in the plan!use-or-lose rule and claim Submission run-out PeriodAny unused amounts left in your account after the close of the plan year will be forfeited. Keep in mind that you have a specific number of days after the end of the plan year to submit eligible expenses for reimbursement. This is called a Run-Out Period. You have 75 days, after the end of the plan year, to submit a claim for reimbursement of expenses that were incurred during theprior plan year.If your employment terminates before the end of the plan year (voluntary or involuntary), your participation in the plan will end and you may not use your HCFSA for expenses incurred after your last day of active participation. Expenses incurred before termination will be eligible for reimbursement if submitted within the termination run-out period allowed by your plan.Please refer to your Summary Plan Description regarding the details of your Claim Submission Run-Out Period for both active and terminated participants.changing your choices During the yearOnce you enroll in the FSA plan, you may not change your election until the next enrollment period, unless a qualified Change inElection Event occurs as defined in the Plan.
