Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

You can elect to participate in a healthcare and/or a dependent care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). An FSA is pre-tax money you set aside, through payroll deductions, to use for certain expenses not reimbursed by your health insurance plan. You decide how much to contribute to your health care FSA. You may enroll in one or both Flexible Spending Accounts offered by the Commonwealth. You can use Health Care FSA dollars to pay toward out-of-pocket prescription costs; eligible medical expenses such as doctor’s office visits, x-rays, and lab tests: and some services not covered by your health insurance plan. You can use Dependent Care FSA dollars to pay toward childcare services such as daycare or adult care. Refer to the Handbook for specific information.
