What is Flex Spending?

 A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a special non-taxed account designed to save you money on medical and dependent care (day care) expenses.

Employees may set up pre-tax flexible spending accounts up to $5,000 for:

• Medical and dental costs not paid by the City’s benefit plan. 
  This includes vision care expenses and over-the-counter drugs.
• Dependent care

For the Plan Year 2012, the City has set up a Medical Flex Spending Account for each eligible employee. The City has deposited money in an account to use for unreimbursed eligible medical expenses.
