Financial Benefits of Setting Up a Health and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
that are not covered by your health care plan or elsewhere. Examples of typically covered expenses are co-pays, deductibles, contact lenses, laser eye surgery, physical therapy, chiropractor, acupuncture, over-the-counter medication, bandages, pregnancy tests and over-the- counter medical equipment. For managing expenses for dependent care, military members and families can participate in a DCFSA. This is an account used to pay for eligible dependent care services, such as preschool, summer day camp, before or after-school programs, and child or adult daycare. It’s a smart and simple way to save money while taking care of your loved ones so that you can continue to work. To participate in either or both FSAs for military members and family members, the service member would need to enroll during the open enrollment season or with a qualifying life event. The open enrollment season for the FSAs through FSAFEDS.gov is mid-November to mid-December with plans being effective as of January 1 of the following year. As a rule, you can’t change your FSA election amount during a benefit period (the plan year), but there are circumstances, qualifying life events (QLEs), when you can make changes. Examples of QLEs include changes in employment status, legal marital status, and in the number of dependents. Additionally, for DCFSAs only, a change in childcare (including cost and coverage) or elder care provider are QLEs. Each FSA has regulations set by the IRS regarding what are reimbursable expenses and what is the account limit annually. For more details on these plans, please contact your Command Financial Specialist, Personal Financial Management professional at your Fleet and Family Support Center or visit fsafeds.gov.
Do you like a tax break? Do you like being able to manage out-of-pocket expenses for medical, dental, other healthcare and dependent care more easily? If so, the military has adopted two tools recently to help you achieve these with a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA) and a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) , both through FSAFEDS (fsafeds.gov). Although new to military members, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) have been available through civilian employers and other Federal entities for decades. Whether you are utilizing an HCFSA or an DCFSA, you can save on your tax bill by using pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible FSA expenses for you, your spouse, and qualifying children or relatives. Here’s how an FSA works: Money for your FSA is deducted automatically from your paycheck before taxes are taken out. You can then use your pre-tax FSA funds throughout the plan year to pay for eligible expenses. For managing out of pocket expenses for healthcare expenses, military members and families can participate in a HCFSA. This is an account that’s used to pay for eligible medical, dental, and vision care expenses
