23 How FSAs work Plan carefully, start small until you gain experience − FSA funds must be spent within the plan year or balance is forfeited − Funds do not roll over year to year But, you have a “grace period” of up to 2½ months following end of plan year − Spend by March 15 of the following year − File by March 31 of the following year 23
