ShipWorks provides you with an opportunity to participate in two different Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) administered through Igoe.

       FSAs allow you to set aside a portion of your income, before taxes, to pay for qualified health care and/or dependent care expenses. Because that portion of
       your income is not taxed, you pay less in Federal income tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax. The end result is that you decrease your taxable income
       and increase your take-home pay.

       The FSA plan year is January 1, 2018 - December 31, 2018.
