Overview

This article discusses Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).

Critical Concepts

There are two types of FSA accounts:

• The Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DepCare FSA) allows you to pay for eligible dependent care expenses on a pretax, salary reduction basis.
• The Health Flexible Spending Account (Health FSA) allows you to pay your health related expenses on a salary reduction basis. Both accounts are known as flexible spending accounts.

Employees with Full, Mid-Level and Core benefits, Academic Student Employees and Graduate Student Researchers are eligible for DepCare FSA.
