2023 Flexible Spending Accounts

Health Care Flexible Spending Account

Provided you are not enrolled in the PPO Savings Plan, you may choose to participate in the Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), managed through HealthEquity. Like the Health Savings Account (HSA), contributions made to the Health Care Flexible Spending Account are tax-free. However, unlike the HSA, funds contributed must be used in the same plan year for eligible health care expenses. For 2023, the contribution maximum is $3,050. This election must be made during benefits open enrollment and cannot be changed, unless of a life-qualifying event. 

Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account

Regardless of which health plan you choose, you can elect a Dependent Care FSA. This account can be used for dependent child expenses up to the age of 13. Once your child reaches age 13, they are no longer eligible. This account is used to reimburse you for dependent care expenses, such as child day care, elder care, etc. The contribution maximums for 2023 are:

• $5,000 per year per household
• $2,500 for married individuals filing a separate tax return
