Flexible Spending Accounts - UMR
Pre-Tax Premium Contributions Health Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Un-reimbursed Medical Expenses ($2, max). Common items for reimbursement: Deductibles, co pays, out-of-pocket expenses, laser eye surgery, dental fees. Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Dependent Care/Child Care ($5, max); Daycare expenses for PRE-KINDERGARTEN and UNDER. Before and After School expenses for any child 12 yrs of age and under (No overnight camps - only day camps). Elder Care expenses for a parent who lives with you and needs round the clock care. Limited Purpose FSA (dental and vision only) $2,550 maximum for employees who are enrolled in the HDPD/HSA Plan. Employee’s who have balances up to $500 will be rolled over into a limited FSA account if you are participating in the HDHP/HSA plan or a Standard FSA account if you are participating in the Traditional Plan. You are putting it away in your own private account for the day when you need it to pay for some expense. When that day arrives — such as when you get the monthly bill from the daycare center — you pay the bill and then ask the bank to reimburse you for that expense. The advantage to you is that every dollar which goes into that bank avoids taxation. It’s like a tax refund on every paycheck — and the government approves of it, even encourages it! In essence your personal account becomes a powerful budgeting tool to pay your medical and dependent care costs with tax free dollars.
22
How Does Flexible Spending Work?
Voluntary Participation Annual Enrollment – Calendar Year Careful Planning Required Annual amount divided by 24 paychecks Reimbursements are administered through a third party administrator - UMR Medical & Dependent FSA Debit Cards – Your current debit cards will be replenished with your new allocation. Debit Card transactions require substantiation of qualified expenses. You may receive notification from UMR requesting proof of qualified expenses. Hopefully by now, I’ve piqued your interest so lets look at where we start. First, you have some choices to make — which expense categories do you want to participate in? Will it be medical expenses, dependent care, adoption?
