Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are tax-advantaged accounts that allow you to set aside pretax dollars to pay for eligible healthcare and dependent care expenses. FSAs help lower your taxable income and make it easier to budget for predictable expenses throughout the year.

Healthcare FSA

The Healthcare FSA allows you to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses for yourself and your eligible dependents. For 2026, you can contribute up to $3,300 to your Healthcare FSA and can roll over up to 20% ($660) of unused funds into the following year. Any unused balance greater than 20% will be forfeited.

Note: If you enroll in the Aetna HDHP with HSA medical plan or another HSA-compatible medical plan, you cannot make contributions to a Healthcare FSA.

Limited Purpose Healthcare FSA

The Limited Purpose Healthcare FSA is for employees enrolled in the Aetna HDHP with HSA medical plan and is restricted to eligible dental and vision expenses only. For 2026, you can contribute up to $3,300 to your Limited Purpose Healthcare FSA and can roll over up to 20% ($660) of unused funds into the following year. Any unused balance greater than 20% will be forfeited.

Dependent Care FSA

A Dependent Care FSA allows you to pay for eligible dependent care expenses, such as daycare or in-home care, so you (and your spouse, if applicable) can work, look for work or attend school full-time. For 2026, you can contribute up to $7,500 to your Dependent Care FSA, depending on your marital and tax-filing status. Unused Dependent Care FSA funds are forfeited; you cannot roll them over to the following year.

Using your FSA

You can pay for eligible expenses by:

  • Using your WEX card at the point of purchase
  • Paying out of pocket and submitting a claim for reimbursement through WEX

Claims for expenses incurred during the year must be submitted no later than March 31 of the following calendar year. You can view your current FSA balance or check the status of a claim on WEX.
