The District offers Flexible Spending Account, Limited Flexible Spending Account, and Dependent Care.

• FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT:  Allows employees to withhold pre-tax dollars up to $2,850 per year to apply towards medical expenses, including deductible, dental, and vision.
• LIMITED FLEX SPENDING ACCOUNT:  Allows employees to withhold pre-tax dollars up to $2,850 per year to apply towards dental and vision expenses only.
• DEPENDENT CARE:  Allows employees to withhold pre-tax dollars up to $5,000 per year to apply towards dependent care.

Any employee eligible for the FSA may enroll in either the traditional FSA or the Limited FSA.  However, if you are enrolled in the District’s H.S.A. Health insurance program, you may ONLY enroll in the Limited FSA.  IRS rules disqualify any person who contributes money (or has money contributed on their behalf) into a H.S.A. savings account from enrolling into a traditional FSA.

Employees who are enrolled in the district’s HSA health insurance or covered by a different company’s HSA plan, are eligible for the Limited Flexible Spending Account.

If you are enrolled in the District’s HSA plan, you may also enroll in the Limited FSA.

You may choose either the Traditional Flex (assuming you are not enrolled in a different H.S.A. health plan and having money enter into a HSA account) or Limited Flex. 

Your ability to enroll in the dependent flex account is never impacted with the type of health insurance you are enrolled in.

You are able to roll over $570 to the next plan year.  In addition, you have 90 days to submit a claim from the previous plan year, once a new plan year begins.

Dependent Care acts differently than the traditional or limited flex plans.  You are only able to be reimbursed up to the amount you have in the account, and funds are placed into that account on every paycheck.  Traditional/Limited flex accounts front 100% of the money on the first day of the plan year
