Dependent Care FSA
Don’t forget! You are eligible to enroll in a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) through Inspira. The Dependent Care FSA is offered for eligible dependent care expenses if you and your spouse (if married)/domestic partner are working or in school, and your dependent children under age 13 attend day care, after‐school care, or summer day camp. If you are taking care of your parents or certain children over age 13 (for instance, children with special needs) and you can claim them as dependents on your tax return, you should also consider enrolling in a Dependent Care FSA.
You can enroll in a Dependent Care FSA during Annual Enrollment – or, if you are a new hire, you can enroll within 31 days of your start date. Once you enroll, you will receive a debit card from Inspira in the mail. Click here to learn more about opening a Dependent Care FSA.
