Healthcare Flexible Spending Accounts (HCFSA)

You choose how much to contribute for the year, up to the IRS maximum — in 2022, this is $2,850. The money comes out of your paycheck before it’s taxed, lowering your tax bill.

HCFSA Account Overview

  • Contributions are deducted over 21 pay periods with no deductions on the January 9, July 24, and August 9 pay periods.
  • You can only change your contribution amount during the year if your personal situation changes.
  • Pay for eligible healthcare expenses, including deductibles, copays, dental care, vision care, counseling, prescription drugs, and prescribed over-the-counter drugs and products not covered by a medical plan. See a complete list of eligible expenses.
  • Spend your money by swiping your FSA debit card, or log in to WageWorks to request reimbursement for payments you’ve made.
  • Your entire annual contribution is available to you from the beginning of the plan year.
  • Up to $570 of unused money may be carried over to the next year; amounts above $570 will be forfeited.
