Flexible Spending Reimbursement Accounts

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are designed to save you money on your taxes. Each pay period, funds are deducted from your
pay on a pretax basis and are deposited to your Account. You then use your funds to pay for eligible health/dental/vision care or
dependent care (daycare) expenses.

Plan Carefully: Elections can only be modified mid-year if a qualifying event occurs.
In addition, unused funds may be forfeited if you do not have enough eligible claims.
