Health Care Flexible Spending Account

The Health Care FSA allows you to pay for certain out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision and prescription expenses with tax-free dollars. The amount you save through this account is deducted from your paycheck before taxes are calculated and withheld. You can submit receipts to receive reimbursement or use your Flores Benefits card and have the pre-tax dollars taken from your account at the time of the purchase.

Health Care FSA

You can contribute $4 – $114.58 per pay period up to $2,750* maximum per year.

Other Features Of The Health Care FSA Include:

When you use the Flores Benefits card, no documentation is needed for an office visit, prescription, or facility copay of $50 or less.
Leftover funds greater than $550 will be forfeited at the end of
the year.
You can submit claims for reimbursement until March 31 of the next plan year for eligible expenses incurred through the end of the previous plan year.

Note: The $550 is an indexed number that will change from year to year. This will require updating from time to time. We do not yet know the indexed amounts for 2022. Those are published in October.

If you enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan, which features a Health Savings Account, you may not be eligible to participate in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account.

Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account

The Dependent Care FSA is designed to let you pay for certain childcare or adult day or home care expenses with tax-free dollars. You must first elect to have a specified amount of pre-tax money deducted from each paycheck and put into your Dependent Care FSA. You will then pay your dependent care provider, fill out a reimbursement claim form, and submit the form along with other required documents for reimbursement to Flores & Associates.

Dependent Care FSA

You can contribute $4 – $208.33 per pay period up to $5,000* maximum per year.
