Health Care FSA. This is a special account where the money in the account may be used on a tax free basis for almost any un-reimbursed expense related to medical, dental, or vision coverage for you, your spouse, or your dependents. For example, you can use the money to be reimbursed for deductibles, co-insurance, and co-payments under an established plan (like the BIW healthcare program, or the LS6-sponsored union dental plan, or a plan through your spouse's employer), or for out-of-pocket expenses you have if you are not covered under an established plan. Contributions you make as a requirement to participate in a benefits plan, like payroll deductions for healthcare or dental coverage, are not eligible. You have access to either a full-use or limited-use FSA. A full-use FSA can be used to cover medical, dental, and vision expenses. However, you cannot elect a full-use FSA if you or your spouse has a Health Savings Account (HSA). A limited-use FSA can be used to cover dental and vision expenses and can be used in conjunction with an HSA. You can establish your own account by setting aside a portion of your wages on a pre-tax basis during the annual open enrollment process conducted each Fall preceding the calendar year. If you elect to participate in this account, you must indicate so during the open enrollment and decide how much to contribute during that year. Contribution limits will be consistent with federal laws and regulations. To make sure you put the right amount of money in your account during open enrollment, you need to estimate your expenses for the next year. To the extent you have money remaining in your FSA at the end of the year, you can carry-over up to $500$570 for use in the following year. Any amount beyond $500$570 will be forfeited; notwithstanding that you have ninety (90) days after the end of the year in which to file receipts for services that were rendered in that year. See the BIW Benefits Department for a complete list of eligible and ineligible expenses. You can only make changes outside of the open enrollment process during the year under certain rules. For those rules, see the "Changes During The Year" section under the Healthcare Program.
