1 Flexible Spending Accounts A Flexible Spending Account (FSA), also known as a Section 125 Flexible Benefit Plan or Cafeteria Plan is a voluntary, tax-free way for employees to save for qualified medical, dental, vision or dependent care expenses during a plan year. Employees can save between 25 and 50%, depending on their tax bracket. Three ways to save! Premiums employees pay for their employer-sponsored medical, dental or vision plans will automatically be withheld from pay on a pre-tax basis. (No reimbursement required.) Healthcare expenses such as medical, dental and vision expenses that are not paid by insurance. This includes co-pays, deductibles, Lasik eye surgery, orthodontic expenses, chiropractic care and prescription medications. If you and/or your spouse are currently contributing to an HSA, you cannot use the traditional Health FSA. You are able to use the Limited Purpose FSA, which is limited to dental and vision expenses, only. Dependent care expenses for children under age 13 and/or older children or adults who are incapable of self-care. Up to $5,000 (federal limit) per calendar year can be reimbursed through the Dependent Care FSA. How an FSA works Prior to the plan year, employees elect how much they would like to have taken out of their paycheck on a pre-tax basis. Pre-tax simply means before state, federal, Social Security and Medicare taxes are applied. As a result, savings are somewhere between 25 and 50%, depending on tax bracket. Based on employee s election, contributions to their FSAs are automatically deducted from their paycheck over the plan year. The amount of contribution to a Health FSA and Dependent Care FSA should be carefully considered as unused amounts are forfeited at the end of the plan year. As healthcare or dependent care expenses are incurred, employees submit them to Alliance Benefit Group for reimbursement. Alliance Benefit Group is required to substantiate each claim, which involves matching receipts, and explanation of benefits and claim forms to ensure all information has been submitted according to IRS regulations. Alliance Benefit Group reimburses employees by check or direct deposit. Important rules and information about FSAs If an employee does not spend the money they ve elected to have taken out of their check, they forfeit it at the end of the plan year. New elections for the Health and Dependent Care FSA are required every plan year. Once the plan year begins, employees cannot change their elections unless they have a family status change such as marriage, death, divorce, birth or adoption
2 New employees beginning coverage after the plan year begins can be reimbursed for expenses incurred after their coverage starts. Spouses and all tax dependents are covered and eligible for reimbursement from the FSA, regardless of where they have their medical, dental or vision insurance. IRS Publication 502 is available at and deals with what expenses are eligible for tax deductibility purposes. IRS Publication 503 is available at and deals with dependent care expenses. A tax credit is also available for dependent care. Employees should carefully consider which works better for them the tax credit or the Dependent Care FSA. Example of tax savings with FSA Without Plan With Plan Gross Pay $25,000 $25,000 Less FSA Contribution - $0 -$4,000 Taxable Income $25,000 $21,000 Less Taxes (Fed, State, FICA) -$7,162 -$6,016 Less Qualified Medical & Dep Care Expenses -$4,000 -$4,000 FSA Reimbursement +$0 +$4,000 Take Home Pay $13,838 $14,984 Employee saves $1,146 per year!!! Expenses covered by the Health FSA The Health FSA covers expenses that are necessary to treat or alleviate a physical or mental defect or illness. These can be (but are not limited to) clinical, dental, orthodontic, vision, chiropractic or prescription drugs. Dual purpose expenses There are some expenses that may be considered cosmetic or general use items that may also serve a medical purpose. If a doctor recommends a service / item that would not normally be considered medically necessary to treat or alleviate a specific diagnosable medical condition, it is considered a dual-purpose expense. A written statement from the physician must accompany these expenses. This statement must explain what the condition is, what service / item is recommended and how it will alleviate this condition. What to submit with your claim Supporting documentation is required for all expenses that are submitted for reimbursement. This documentation must be itemized, showing date(s) of service and must clearly illustrate the amount you are responsible for paying. If the expense was covered by insurance, the Explanation of Benefits from your insurance provider must be submitted with your claim. Special Rule for HSA Owners If you and/or your spouse are currently contributing to an HSA, or if your employer is contributing to an HSA on your behalf, you are unable to use the Health FSA. Instead, a Limited Purpose FSA, which covers only dental, orthodontic and vision expenses, is available. Limited Purpose = (LP) - 2 -

This means the participant must only claim expenses incurred while they are actually at work, excluding expenses which might be incurred while the participant is on a leave of absence, on vacation or is out of work ill. However, temporary absences from work for matters such as illness or vacation can be disregarded if the participant is required to pay for dependent care expenses on a weekly or longer basis. Dependent care expenses incurred during a typical leave of absence (paid or unpaid) are non-reimbursable. The following employment-related expenses are eligible for reimbursement by a Dependent Care Reimbursement Account: After-school care Before-school care Day camp Dependent care center Elder care Nanny Preschool/Nursery school Registration fee (to obtain care) Sick-child facility - 4 -
