Things to Consider Upon Enrollment: • Your FSA account refers to the combined medical care and dependent care components. • By enrolling in the FSA program, you agree to have your compensation reduced by the amount elected. • Your election applies to this Plan year only. To continue in the Plan, you must re-enroll each year. • Annual medical care elections are available for reimbursement in fuII on the first day of the Plan year. • Dependent care elections are available for reimbursement based on current balance. • FSA accounts are tracked separately and cannot be combined. These elections are in addition to any premiums you pay on a pre-tax basis for employer-sponsored health insurance. • The dependent care account pays for daycare services needed for a qualifying dependent while you work. A qualifying dependent is a child under age 13 who is claimed as a dependent on your federal income tax return (special rules apply for divorced parents), a disabled spouse, and any other dependent on your tax return who resides in your home and is physically or mentally disabled. • You may file claims for reimbursement from your FSA account for qualified expenses incurred during the Plan year, after becoming a participant. Depending on the provisions in your Plan, some or all of the funds remaining in your FSA account after the end of the Plan‘s run-out period may be forfeited. • You will pay the Employer for any tax liability or penalties it incurs if you are reimbursed for an expense that is not a qualified expense, unless you repay the amount or offset that amount with additional eligible claims within the same Plan year. • You cannot change the amount of your FSA contributions or pre-tax health insurance premiums, unless you have a qualifying “life change” event as defined in the Plan, and satisfy any other conditions for changes contained in the Plan and tax law. • Your FSA contributions will terminate when your employment terminates. You must check with your Employer to determine if you can elect to continue your health care contributions on an after-tax basis, as allowed under COBRA. • Your employer may change the amount of your FSA elections, if necessary to satisfy tax law requirements. • You must provide acceptable documentation for every claim you submit, including Health Spending Card purchases, upon request. • You will keep copies of all documents submitted to Lifetime Benefit Solutions for your own personal records; Lifetime Benefit Solutions is not responsible for retaining copies of your receipts beyond the current Plan year. • Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Reimbursement Accounts are subject to Federal Law which generally supersedes state law. • Only spouses and dependents for Federal Tax purposes are eligible for tax-free Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Reimbursement Accounts benefits. • Any person who qualifies as your dependent for federal income tax purposes, or your child even if he or she does not qualify as your dependent for federal income tax purposes but only through the end of the calendar year in which the child reaches age 26.
