Extra money for expenses.


Extra money as soon as you enroll.

• You agree to put a portion of your pay into at least one special account called a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

• Then, as you incur eligible expenses, you pay for them using the money in the FSA


Where’s the extra money?


Extra money is available automatically.

• Normally, federal, state and payroll taxes eat up about 30% of what you earn–However, every dollar you place in these

special FSAs is tax-free– So, a $500 election lets you keep the $150 you

would have paid in taxes• There’s your extra money


Different expenses, different accounts.
