What is an FSA?
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) are part of the IRS Section 125, also known as a cafeteria plan. FSAs are an employer sponsored benefit that allows employees to set aside money on a pretax basis for qualified medical and/or child care expenses. Learn more about FSA regulations in our Section 125 FSA white paper.
The IRS regulates what services or purchases are eligible under Section 125. Each benefit under Section 125 has maximum contribution limits and guidelines for when elections can change. Current IRS limits can be found at our Regulations Page.
Medical FSA:
- Insurance deductible
- Co-payments and coinsurance
- Prescriptions
- Dental or vision expenses
- Over-the-counter medicine*
- Menstrual products including tampons, pads, liners, and cups*
Dependent Care:
- FSAs can also be established to pay for certain expenses to care for dependents while the legal guardian is at work. While this most commonly means child care, for children under the age of 13, it can also be used for a dependent of any age who are physically or mentally incapable of self-care.
- Unlike a medical FSA, dependent care is a pay as you go account. Learn more about Dependent Care FSA at our blog.
Premium Only Plan (POP):
- POP Plans allow employees to pay for their employer’s sponsored health plan premiums before taxes. Regulations require a legal plan document to offer this benefit.
Limited Purpose FSA:
- Limited Purpose FSAs were designed to work in-conjunction with Health Savings Accounts (HSA). Participants who elect a Limited Purpose FSA can pay for dental and vision expenses with pretax funds. This plan helps employees save money while retaining their HSA eligibility. Learn more about BASIC HSA.
