Flexible Spending Accounts

What Are They?

Flexible Spending Accounts allow employees to deduct certain expenses from their pay prior to paying taxes. Insurance premiums, health care expenses not covered by insurance or dependent care costs incurred while at work can be reimbursed.

Contribution Limit

The 2022 Health FSA contribution limit increased $100 for a total of $2,850 under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Dependent Care maximum remains $5,000.

Rollover Rules

Employers can allow employees to rollover a maximum of $500 of unused Health FSA funds to the next plan year. Previously, the “use-it-or-lose-it” rule was in place and contributions had to be used up by the end of the plan year or grace period. Employers will need to specifically add the rollover ruling to their plan, or it will remain “use-it-or-lose-it.”
