1 A l l i a n c e B e n e f i t G r o u p ( ) w w w. a b g a c c e s s. c o m 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 save between 25 and 50%, depending on their tax bracket. Three Ways to Save! Premiums for employer-sponsored medical, dental, vision, etc. are automatically withheld from pay on a pretax basis. (No reimbursement required.) Reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical, dental and vision expenses not paid by insurance. Reimbursement of work-related dependent care expenses for children under age 13 and/or older children or adults who are incapable of self-care. New for 2013 The recent Health Care Reform law mandates that employees cannot contribute more than $2,500 to a Health or Limited Purpose FSA for plan years beginning January 1, Prior to this time the maximum Health or Limited Purpose FSA election was determined by the employer. The $2,500 limit applies on an individual level, not a household level, so married couples can each elect up to $2,500 in their respective Health or Limited Purpose FSAs. The Dependent Care FSA limit remains the same at $5,000 per household. 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 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. Contributions to FSAs are deducted from each payroll during the plan year. The amount of contribution to FSAs should be carefully considered, as unused amounts are forfeited at the end of the plan year. As eligible expenses are incurred, employees submit claims to Alliance Benefit Group for reimbursement. Alliance Benefit Group is required to substantiate each claim by reviewing receipts, explanation of benefits and claim forms to ensure all information meets applicable regulations. Alliance Benefit Group reimburses employees directly by check or direct deposit. The Health FSA causes an employee and their spouse to be ineligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account, or HSA. However, the Limited Use FSA, which reimburses only dental and vision expenses, does not impact HSAeligibility.

2 Important Facts About FSAs If an employee or their spouse is contributing to an HSA they can elect the Limited Purpose FSA for dental and vision expenses but cannot elect the traditional Health FSA. If an employee does not spend their election they forfeit it at the end of the plan year. New elections for Health, Limited Purpose and Dependent Care FSA are required each plan year. Elections are irrevocable during the plan year unless there is a change in family status. Spouses and all tax dependents are eligible for reimbursement from the FSA. IRS Publication 502, available at explains eligible health care expenses. IRS Publication 503, available at explains eligible dependent care expenses. Dependent Care FSA Expenses What does employment-related mean? Expenses reimbursed by a Dependent Care Reimbursement Account must be incurred in order to allow the participant and, if applicable, the spouse to be actively and gainfully employed. 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: Before/After-school care Day Camp Daycare Center Elder Care Nanny Preschool/Nursery school Registration fee (to obtain care) Sick-child facility Health and Limited Purpose FSA Expenses The Health and Limited Purpose FSA covers expenses that are necessary to treat or alleviate a physical or mental defect or illness. Dual purpose expenses Some expenses may be considered cosmetic or general-use but 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.
3 What to submit with your claim Supporting documentation is required with all claims. Documentation should be itemized to show the date of service, what service is being claimed and the amount you are responsible for paying. If the expense was covered by insurance, the Explanation of Benefits from your insurance carrier must be included with your claim. Special rule for HSA owners If you and/or your spouse is currently contributing to an HSA you are unable to use the Health FSA. Instead a Limited Purpose FSA that covers only dental and vision expenses is available.

5 Benny Prepaid Benefits Card The Benny Prepaid Benefits Card draws funds directly from your FSA to pay for eligible expenses and eliminates the wait for reimbursement. Benny can only be used at certain places, such as pharmacies, clinics or dental offices, where you might obtain health care services. Dependent Care providers accepting Visa will also accept this card. Using Benny is easy! Simply present it at qualified merchants and the cost of your transaction will come directly from your FSA. Submitting Receipts IRS rules require all Benny transactions to be substantiated. In some cases, this substantiation will occur electronically and you will not need to submit any documentation for your purchase. However, you will sometimes be required to submit documentation for a Benny transaction after it occurs in order to meet the IRS requirements. No Receipts Required for: Pharmacy Purchases: Most pharmacy purchases (including discount and grocery store pharmacies) will be electronically substantiated. Co-Pay Matching: Purchases in the amount of a co-pay under your employer s health plan, including multiples up to five times a co-pay, will be electronically substantiated. Reoccurring Amounts: Transactions that reoccur in the same amount at the same merchant will only require documentation the first time in a given plan year. All other Benny transactions will require receipts. If you are required to submit receipts for any of your Benny purchases, they will be requested by or mail. You will have 60 days to submit any requested receipts. Remember, if ABG asks you to send receipts for a purchase, the merchant has been paid for your service or expense. *When submitting requested receipts, do not complete a Reimbursement Request Form. Other Import Things You Need to Know Don t use Benny to pay for expenses that took place in a previous plan year. Benny is only linked to your current plan year election. Use online or paper claims to submit run-out expenses. Retain documentation for all Benny purchases, even if ABG does not request it. Only use Benny to pay for eligible expenses - ineligible transactions will require repayment. Using Benny is optional - paper or online claims can still be submitted any time.
