Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible health and dependent care expenses. Each year, you must elect the annual amount you want to contribute to one or both accounts. Your contributions will be deducted pre-tax from your paycheck which can help reduce your taxable income. Effective January 1, 2022, your new FSA administrator is WEX.
The Health Care FSA will reimburse you for eligible health care expenses that you, your spouse, and your children incur during the plan year. When you incur an eligible expense, you can use your WEX FSA debit card and/or submit documentation for reimbursement. The maximum annual contribution for 2022 is $2,850.
Note: If you are enrolled in the Cigna HDHP Plan, you are not eligible to participate in the Health Care FSA.
The Dependent Care FSA lets you use pre-tax dollars to pay eligible daycare expenses for children age 12 and under, or elder dependents who are unable to care for themselves. Care can be provided through live-in care, babysitters, or licensed daycare centers. The maximum annual contribution for 2022 is $5,000.
Note: All benefit eligible employees are eligible to participate in the Dependent Care FSA.
FSAs offer significant tax advantages, but are subject to IRS regulations:
When employees are using their debit card, if WEX is not able to auto-substantiate the claim required documentation will be requested. Substantiation requirements can be found here. The below timeline is the standard process for follow up communications when your debit card transaction requires further documentation. At the 200-day mark, the debit card would be suspended if no documentation has been provided. However, if at any time in this process flow the transaction is denied, the flow moves to the Denial and Request Repayment step.
