Flexible Spending Accounts
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
The FSAs, managed through WEX, are tax-free savings account to use for eligible health expenses. Unlike the HSA, you must use the funds in the FSA by the end of the year – or lose it. You must enroll in the FSAs within your first 30 days from hire, or you will have to wait until the next Annual Enrollment period for coverage effective for the following year. You may change these elections during the year if you experience an eligible qualifying event.

FSA checklist
Submit your eligible 2025 FSA claims by March 31, 2026. Log into your WEX account. Don’t forget your supporting documentation!
Secure your 2025 rollover. If you want a rollover of your unused 2025 health care or limited purpose FSA amounts (up to $660), you must elect to contribute to the account in 2026.
Keep your receipts. If you do not provide the necessary documentation to substantiate your claims when asked, the IRS has the right to tax those amounts as income.
