You can save money by utilizing the Health Care and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). This IRS-authorized benefit allows you to pay for health care and/or dependent care expenses during the plan year- For example, January 1, 2010 – December 31, 2010. Be conservative. The law requires that you forfeit any amounts remaining in your account after all eligible expenses have been reimbursed. You will have until March 31, 2011, to submit claims for expenses incurred during calendar year 2010. This is a calendar year plan and you can only enroll in the plan during open enrollment or as a newly hired employee.
