Flex benefits overview

Why you’ll want to participate

How it works

What is a flexible benefit plan? It’s a benefit provided by your employer that lets you

set aside a certain amount of your paycheck into an account before paying income taxes.

During the year you can use funds in the account to pay for: qualified healthcare expenses not covered by insurance day-care expenses for a dependent child or elder so you

can work

Elections can only be made/changed during open enrollment or after a qualified family status change, as your plan allows.

3

What expenses qualify? The Health FSA is used to pay for expenses not

covered by insurance.

These include expenses you pay for you and your family: Doctor’s Office Visits Prescription drugs Prescribed Over-the-counter (OTC) medication Eye exams and surgeries Glasses and contacts Dental and Orthodontics And more

4

What expenses qualify? The Dependent Care FSA is used to pay for work-

related day care expenses.

These include expenses you pay for your qualifying dependents: Day care/nursery school Before/After school care Summer day camp/Summer day care Elder day care

5

What is the biggest advantage?

6

You can save 25-40% on payroll taxes.

The portion of your salary that you elect to put into the plan is not taxed. You save:

Federal income tax

State and local taxes (where applicable)

Social security tax (assuming the employee’s salary is below the maximum social security wage base).

When can I use the money in my account?

Total annual Health FSA election is available to use

on the first day of the plan year.

Day-care elections are available each time a

contribution from your paycheck is made to your
