What is a Flexible Spending Account?
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a type of account,
provided by your employer, that allows you to put aside
money to pay for eligible healthcare and dependent
daycare expenses. The money going into the account is tax-
free (no payroll tax is withheld) which can save you money on
items and services you are already purchasing.
By enrolling in a flexible spending account, you may save up to 40% on
your healthcare and dependent daycare costs.
What are the Dierent Types of Flexible Spending Accounts?
A dependent daycare FSA is designated for expenses incurred to care for
your children age 12 and younger, as well as your adult tax dependents who
are unable to care for themselves, while you are at work.
What Are Flexible Spending Account Eligible Expenses?
Since the IRS is allowing you to put money in your FSA before it is taxed,
they determine what expenses are eligible for reimbursement from the
account. Reimbursements are only issued for eligible expenses incurred
by you, your spouse or your eligible tax dependents and must be incurred
during the plan year. Below are just a few examples for each plan type:

A healthcare FSA is designated for eligible medical expenses such as
copays, coinsurance, deductibles along with things like prescriptions,
medical supplies and procedures. Now, over-the-counter medications no
longer require a prescription and menstrual care products are eligible
expenses.

Am I Eligible for a Flexible Spending Account?
In general, all you need to be eligible for an FSA is to be employed by an
employer who oers an FSA. Unlike the HSA, you are not required to have a
High Deductible Health Plan. And you should not be enrolled in a healthcare
FSA if you are contributing to a health savings account (HSA).
How Do I Access My Flexible Spending Account Funds?
You can always request a distribution by filing a claim, but the Chard Snyder
Benefit Card provides an easy, simple way to use your FSA funds to pay for
eligible items and services. It works just like a debit card, but because of smart
technology, it can only be used to pay for expenses that are eligible according
to the IRS guidelines.
The Benefit Card eliminates the need to pay out-of-pocket, submit a claim
form and wait for your reimbursement. Simply swipe your card at the doctor’s
oce, the dentist’s oce or at the pharmacy, for example, and the funds are
automatically deducted from your flexible spending account.

Why do I need to save my receipts?
To confirm that you made an eligible purchase or received eligible services,
you may be asked for copies of itemized receipts, statements, or Explanation
of Benefits (EOB) from doctors’ and dentists’ oces, hospitals, and stores
that do not automatically verify eligible expenses.*
If so, take a picture of your paperwork with your mobile device and you can
submit it through our mobile app, upload online, attach it to an email, or
send us a paper copy by fax or mail. Chard Snyder is obligated to review FSA
transactions to make sure they are eligible according to the IRS guidelines.
*Once you provide the requested information of a Benefit Card transaction that is not recognized as
eligible, the transaction in question is normally verified quickly. If you do not provide the requested
documentation, your Benefit Card may be suspended from use.
• A simple way to pay
• Pay for eligible expenses
• Directly from your FSA
• Your card is good for 5 years
• Save your receipts
