The FSA program allows you to use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible medical expenses that are not reimbursed by insurance. For 2019, you can set aside up to $2,700 a year ($100 per pay period) into your medical FSA Account administered by our new FSA third-party administrator, Benefits Coordinators Corporation (BCC.) The dollars you place in this account will be automatically deducted from your paycheck over 26 pay periods beginning the first pay period in 2018. Because the dollars you place in this account are taken out of your pay before they are taxed, you lower your taxable income, thereby saving you money on federal, Social Security and state taxes. You can save an estimated $20-$40 on every $100 you choose to set aside.

The limit for the Healthcare Flexible Spending is $2,700 for 2019.

Yes. If you wish to continue Flexible Spending in 2019, you must log into Workday and elect an annual amount, up to $5,000 per household for Dependent Care and up to $2,700 for Medical (Limited Expense Healthcare FSA if enrolling in a High Deductible Health Plan – HDHP) that you wish deducted from your pay over 26 pay periods. You will still be required to re-enroll in the Flexible Spending Account program every year.  You are not automatically re-enrolled into the Flexible Spending Account Program

It is an account where you contribute money from your salary before taxes are withheld, incur eligible dental and vision care expenses and get reimbursed. It is available only to employees who are enrolled in a high deductible health plan (HDHP) with a health savings account (HSA). Dental and vision care expenses are the only reimbursable expenses covered under the LEX FSA.  Eligible expenses include your out-of-pocket costs for such services/products as:

Cosmetic services – even if dental or vision related – are not eligible expenses. All of the other expenses normally eligible under a "general" health care flexible spending account are NOT eligible under a LEX FSA.  By using a LEX FSA, you can preserve the funds in your health savings account to use/save for other purposes. For more information, please see the HDHP FAQs.

You have access to your entire medical FSA election on January 1, 2019. For Dependent Care FSA, you can reimburse up to your current account balance.

You can use the money in one of two ways. First, you can seek services and pay for those services out of your pocket. Then you can submit receipts to BCC to be reimbursed for those services out of your FSA account.
