mental handicap which allows an additional 75 days to claim reimbursement. If you
have money left in your Healthcare or Dependent Care FSA and no
additional expenses to claim at the end of the year, you do not have to
forfeit the balance. Instead, you can use the remaining balance to offset
expenses incurred from January 1 through March 15 of the following
year.
The irst time you enroll in the healthcare FSA, you automatically
receive a Spending Account Card (debit card). If you have enrolled in
the Healthcare FSA previously, you will use the same card year over
year. If you enroll in the Dependent Care FSA, you will not receive a
card.
Hussmann is proud to sponsor an important feature to our FSA program called the HEART Act. The HEART Act
allows “qualiied reservist distributions” to those who are called to active duty. Please see your FSA Summary Plan
