Dependent Care
This account is for eligible day care expenses incurred so you can work. This includes

child day care (for ages 13 and younger), after school care and elder care expenses.

In 2017, you can contribute up to $5,000 pre-tax to this account. You may not roll
over unused money so plan carefully when deciding how much to contribute to this

account.


Transportation

This account is for eligible transportation expenses incurred to get you to work.
Unlike the healthcare or dependent care accounts, you can make changes to
your contributions to this account throughout the year. There are three types of
transportation reimbursements:

X Transit account—can be used to reimburse you for bus or light rail passes used
to get you to work; you may contribute up to $130/month pre-tax to the transit

account
X Qualiied parking account—can be used to reimburse you for parking while at
work; you may contribute up to $250/month pre-tax to the qualiied parking
account

X Bicycle account—this new beneit can be used to reimburse you for expenses for
purchase, improvement, repair or storage of a bicycle used to commute to work;
to be eligible for this beneit, the employee must use their bike for a substantial

portion of the travel between work and home; you can get reimbursed up to
$20/month pre-tax to the bicycle account; the company reimburses you this
amount; unlike the other FSAs, you do not contribute to this account

Please note: you may receive the bicycle account reimbursement for a given month
if you have not received other beneits from the transportation plan that month (e.g.,
transit pass or qualiied parking beneits).
