Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) (Wex)

Dependent Care FSA can be used to cover DAYCARE expenses for an eligible dependent (a child or a dependent adult), such as nursery or day care costs, so you and your spouse can work.
Healthcare expenses for an eligible dependent would be reimbursed using a Health Care FSA, NOT a Dependent Care FSA.
You can contribute up to $7,500 per family to the Dependent Care FSA for the 2026 calendar year.

All exempt, non exempt hourly and/or nonunion employees, working 20 hours or more per week as of date of hire.
Union employees – please consult your CBA to determine your eligibility.

You will elect a year to date goal amount for the entire plan year. You will see deductions come out per paycheck.
Employees will see the cost per pay period when you log into the Benefit Enrollment system.
Employees may elect coverage and will pay via payroll deductions.

- FSA balances DO NOT roll over from year to year, meaning you lose any unused money at the end of the year.
- If you’re currently participating in an FSA, make sure you incur expenses by the end of the calendar year.
Deadline:
- You have until the end of March of the following year to submit reimbursement claims for your prior-year expenses.
