There are specific rules about what types of over-the-counter expenses can be reimbursed from Health Care and Limited Purpose FSAs: view eligible expenses. Most expenses can be paid for using your benefits card, though if you need to submit a claim, watch this video to use WEX’s EOB Smart Scan.
If you have a recurring Dependent Care expense, you can complete a Recurring Dependent Care Request Form.
When you participate in an FSA, you decide how much you want to contribute each plan year (January 1 through December 31), up to IRS annual limits. The amount you elect to contribute is deducted from each paycheck before taxes are taken out — this lowers your taxable income, which means lower taxes for you!
